Gary Anderson of the CMP issued this ruling about AR15 Magazines in CMP service Rifle events.
To be legal for use in Service Rifle competition, magazines must have the same configuration as military issue magazines. All military issue 20-round magazines are straight, not curved. Legal 20-round magazines must be straight so the MidwayUSA magazines are not legal. MagPul makes a polymer magazine that is straight and legal. Champions Choice and other suppliers should also have legal straight magazines. Gary Anderson |

Lindsay Daniels, a senior graduating with a double major in international studies and sociology, as well as a minor in Arabic, is the National Champion in the Women's Air Pistol event.

Lindsay also took third place in the women's individual aggregate, the first Utah athlete to achieve this honor. Daniels took All-American honors in the Women's Sport Pistol Event. Brad Collins, a junior majoring in Mechanical Engineering, won the qualifying match in the Open Air Pistol event but dropped to second place in the Finals competition, trailing the winner by only 0.6 points out of a possible 609. Collins brought home All-American honors in the Free, Standard and Air Pistol events, only the second athlete in team history to earn that many in one year. In the team competition, the University of Utah Naval ROTC Standard Pistol team won the national championship in that event, improving their score by more than 100 points since the qualifying match a month ago that earned them a berth at Nationals and overcoming a severe deficit behind Texas A&M. The U's Air Pistol team came in second nationally, a mere six points out of 2400 behind perpetual powerhouse Ohio State. Note that this means they beat traditional powerhouses Navy, Army and MIT. |

University of Utah Collegiate Pistol Member Brad Collins, a junior in Mechanical
Engineering, swept all three of the events in which he was entered at
the Preliminary Tryout for the US National Pistol Team competition held
September 27th and 28th at the U. He tied with former US Navy shooter Robert
Maust. Both shot 557 out of a total of 600 in the Air Pistol event. (For
comparison, the winning score at the National Inter-collegiate Pistol
Championships this year was 560.) The Finals competition was not decided
until the final shot when Collins came out ahead by one tenth point out
of a possible 109! Collins won the Standard Pistol event with a score of 536, beating U Physics Associate Chair Eugene Mishchenko by 28 points. Again, for reference, the winning score at Collegiate Nationals was 546. (This score would have taken sixth.) In the Free Pistol event, Collins handily beat Ron Morales, who came all the way from Sacramento CA for the competition. Collins's score was 498 out of 600 and would have qualified him to compete in Collegiate Nationals. These scores also put Collins well on the way to achieving All-American honors in all three events. The women's events were dominated by Lindsay Daniels, a senior in International Studies who spent the summer studying in Jordan. Lindsay fired 342 out of 400 in the Women's Air Pistol event and 516 out of 600 in Women's Sport Pistol. |
