Army Places Second in Army Cup Match

Rosa Rodrigo Wins Army Cup at NRA’s National Rifle Matches.

Port Clinton, Ohio – U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit’s Brandon Green placed second in the Army Cup Match at the NRA National High Power Rifle Championships. Green, out-shot by civilian Rosa Rodrigo, hit 10s with every shot … it was the Xs that got him. Rodrigo ended the day with an excellent score of 200-17x. Besting Green’s 200-15X, the new Army Cup champ was just one X shy of tying the National Championship Record of 200-18x shot by SGT Sherri Gallagher in 2009.

Rodrigo may sound familiar to those who follow the NRA’s National Matches. He placed third last year at the Long-Range National Championships and has been near the top of the leaderboard at a number of similar events.

So congratulations to Rodrigo … you’re that much closer to going home with a little High Power Championship hardware.
