Re: NRA - ???? Did someone drop the ball?

Back to original post. NRA states that All-Americans will be announced at NCAA Championship - but, according to J.H. Martin, there is apparently no banquet this year.

Re: Train the non shooting hand

Normally best to use the hand on the side of the dominant eye, e.g., right eye dominant then shoot right handed.
