Camp Perry in the news: Bob King

I found this story in the Leader Times about a Girl Scout troop learning about the benefits of competitive shooting. They met with an NRA Rifle Coach who went to Camp Perry with shooters from the Allegheny Rifle League:

Pursuing individual interests and trying new experiences, Cadette girls of Troop 5 met with NRA Rifle Coach Bob King of Manor Township to learn hands-on about Olympic rifle shooting. Assisting King at the Kiski Sportsmen's Club was Glen Klingensmith whose son is on the rifle team. While there the girls learned about rifle sightings, breathing techniques, leveling, competitive clothing, shooting sequencing, and natural points of aim. Shooting Remington and Anschutz .22s, the girls were in the sitting position. Informing the girls about the skills and scholarships available for the serious shooter, King presented the texts the students learn from as well as the actual shooting techniques for scoring during International shoots and USA Olympic shoots. Bottle Cap (shooting term) shoot scoring was explained at this July 24 meeting.

King is a coach for the Allegheny Valley Rifle League. He returned from a week at Camp Perry, Ohio, with two of his league shooters where the competition was among 367 shooters. Teams consist of shooters 10-82 years of age. King also coaches for the IUP NRA Shooting Camp where he has a rifle team present.
