Dear TFS,
We think your on line magazine is wonderful. I especially loved the July 4th article on the Junior Olympic Precision Championship Heats up in Corvette City. Those 2 young men Joseph and Jonathan Hall are our beloved grandsons. You have given these proud Grandparents, Betty and James Blankenship, down here in Conroe, Texas , an Article in full color to crow about for many years to come. Thank you for the wonderful job you do. We appreciate all the hard work it takes to make the Magazine so enjoyable for us to read. May you have many years of continued success. I’m sure you will be seeing the Hall guys for many years to come, since there are 4 of them. They are all great young men. We are the parents of their Mother, Creaestia Hall.
Thank you,
Betty and James Blankenship


Thanks for the last issue! Here I sit in N. Michigan reading all about the different actiities I culd be a part of if I was only about 10 years younger. Even at 80 I could have been one ofm your most enthusiastic comptitors , both in Rimfire and/or 1903's--maybe even B B Guns ("Air Rifles ' to you up-to-daters).I still have a Daisy Lever Action that my folks bought me when I was about 10 and can remember it was more powerful then the RED RYDER that my buddy's folks got him so we could shoot together!
So, at 82 the extent of my participation is what I glean from the newsletter.
Sincerely,
P.M. Gardner


Thanks so much for this Site. I am Retired from the Marine Corps, Was an RTE Armorer in the Marine Corps before Retirement, I have been retired for almost 40 years. Looking at your site brought back so many memories and let me think about the Marine Corps Matches and the people I have known. Going back is Fun even though I couldn't get into any position to shoot with the exceptions of Prone and Offhand.
Thanks again.

Just a short note to say Thanks for all of the work you folks do. I look forward to your email updates and enjoy reading what is happening at CMP.
Keep it up!

In reference to your article "Sniper School Comes To Iraq", the 173rd Airborne Brigade operated a sniper school in Bihn Dihn Province, Viet Nam, as late as 1970.

We received several comments, like the one above, regarding the Sniper story that we posted. We have revised it thanks to your comments.

Enjoy it very much.  Especially happy to hear about the improvements at Camp Perry.  They are long over due.

Camp Perry Eagles Update

By Gary Anderson, DCM


After the eagle is captured its talons are taped and it is lowered to the ground in a special bag. It is then examined, measured and banded.

Mark Shieldcastle, the Ohio Division of Wildlife’s eagle biologist, displays the newest addition to Camp Perry’s family of eagles prior to being returned to its nest.

The Camp Perry eagle banding was witnessed by a large group 
of spectators. Two local school classes were present. It was a 
special experience for the children when they were allowed to approach 
and touch the young eagle.
