Team Championship

The two-man and four-man teams are on the line

The two-man and four-man teams are on the line. As seen above, two of the four-man team's shooters are at the line with the other two coaching as spotters.

The end of the line

From the very end of the line, the range sure looks crowded. Two and four-man teams shoot at the same time "to save time," said referee Jesse Gibson. "What part of that do you possibly not understand?"

Additionally, if you are in the mood for a blonde joke or two, Gibson is your man. He waved his hand just beside his ear and asked me what the signal meant. Having no idea, and assuming it was some sort of referee signal, I was surprised when he said "it's a blonde, refueling."

I told him I'd be sure and pass it on to my boss, NRA Deputy Executive Director Andrea Cerwinske, pictured below with Gunny just before last night's Award Ceremony.
