THE CAMP PERRY EAGLES: Bald eagles have been a regular
sight on Camp Perry since the mid 1970s when the nesting
site was one of only four known in the state of Ohio.
Ohio Rifle and Pistol Association member Mark Witt, as
an officer of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources,
on May 30 successfully collected two young bald eagles
from their nest seventy feet high in a cottonwood at
Camp Perry.

IN SIGHT OF THE NORTHERN LIGHTS: Glenn Dubis' new job as
coach of the University of Alaska Fairbanks rifle team
is quite different from his previous assignment. For one
thing, on some days the sun never really comes up, and on
other days it never really goes down.

A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THE UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA FAIRBANKS:
UAF first sponsored a rifle team in 1937--over 20 years
