The Target Behind the Blog

1. In 1971, my husband, Gary Anderson, set a record during the Navy Cup High Power Rifle Competition at Camp Perry, Ohio.  The Navy Cup competition is fired at 200 yards.    His score 200-15X means a perfect score (20 shots, scoring 10 points each,  with 15 of them in the exact center, or X-ring.)   It was the first 200 ever fired.   The facsimile of the target has been reproduced here.    Our son, Dr. Erik K. Anderson, also uses the facsimile of the target for the logo of his target scoring system business called Orion at www.orionscoringsystem.com.  The Navy Cup record was held by Gary Anderson for 40 years until 2011 when it was tied by Carl. R. Bernosky of Ashland, PA.     The original target is framed and on display in our home.
