Junior shooter breaks or ties three national marks

Found this story in the Union Democrat ... Good for Chad!!!!
Chad Kurgan of Tuolumne reasserted himself as one of the best shooters in the land — three times over — during the Mother Lode Gun Club's July high-power rifle match.

Kurgan, 17, claimed three national records with one scintillating performance in the rapid-fire prone category. His score of 200-13X — he nailed all 200 targets with 13 perfect dead-centers — gave him the record in the National Rifle Association's junior, open and civilian classes.

He previously shared the junior record of 200-6X with his coach, Robert Taylor II of Columbia. Kurgan now shares the open and civilian marks with a shooter from Oregon.
