Hemphill speaks

Captain Philip Hemphill, nine-time National Police Shooting Champion and current NPSC referee, was watching Robert Vadasz closely on the line during this morning's first relay of the Open Class Semi-Auto Pistol 1500.

I asked Hemphill if he considered Vadasz to be a student of his, and he said, "I talk to him about the mental stuff a lot, if that's what you mean."

So does Hemphill think Vadasz has what it takes to be the NPSC's next shooting star?

"He has the mechanics down. It's the mental stuff. I tell him you can't take this too seriously.

So, yes, he has the potential."
