Kyle's 2011 Year in Review: 80k Instructors & Kentucky Wildcats win NCAA title

Kyle's Story #5 from 2011 - 80,000 NRA Instructors

NRA Training on NRAblog

I wanted to start this list out with a significant achievement by NRA's Education and Training Division.

This past fall NRA reached the milestone of having 80,000 NRA Instructors across the United States. This is not just the total number of certified instructors NRA has had in its history, it is the number of current instructors out there, this very moment, doing everything from helping veteran shooters get tighter groupings to prepareing first-timers on how to properly handle a firearm.

The National Rifle Association was founded on the idea of strong marksmanship and has been providing education and training in the safe and proper use of firearms since its inception in 1871. While knowing how to shoot is a basic requirement for NRA instructors, knowing how to teach others to shoot is even more important. NRA Instructor Training Courses will help a shooter develop the additional knowledge, skills and techniques needed to organize and teach courses in the NRA Basic Firearm Training Program.

Instructor training courses are conducted by NRA Training Counselors. Training Counselors are active and experienced instructors who have been appointed by NRA to train experienced shooters the methology of teaching others to shoot.

NRA Certified Instructors provide an invaluable service in their communities by training hundreds of thousands of individuals annually. As more Americans choose to exercise their right to own a firearm, so too grows the need for these courses and instructors.?


Kyle's Story #4 from 2011 - Wildcats win first NCAA Rifle Championship?

My next pick is a great accomplishment I witnessed last spring at the 2011 NCAA Rifle Championships in Columbus, Georgia.

In a close race with the 14-time champion Mountaineers of West Virginia University, the Kentucky Wildcats edged ahead of the winningest team in NCAA Rifle history to win their very first overall national title.

The winning aggregate of 4700 came after two intense days of the NCAA Rifle Championship's course of fire?? a smallbore and air rifle championship.

Kentucky, who took a seven point lead on the Mountaineers after the first day's smallbore championship, called on and received tremendous performances from its shooters. Henri Junghanel's team-high score of 594 was one of many great scores shot by a Kentucky team who was determined to have nothing less than a national title cap off their excellent season record.

It was no cakewalk into the winner's circle for Kentucky, however. West Virginia's Nicco Campriani shot a near-perfect 599 ? a feat he accomplished earlier in the year ? during the air rifle championship as the Mountaineers attempted to overtake the Wildcats. Despite all of the Mountaineers shooters putting up great scores and winning the air gun championship, their push on the final day came up three points shy of the Wildcats.

"It really was a team effort," said Kentucky's Ethan Settlemires. "We had a lot of hard practice coming into this - five, six days a week on the range."

Cougs Lose Coach To Oklahoma

(WSU Athletics) PULLMAN, Wash. - Washington State University Head Soccer Coach Matt Potter resigned to accept the head coaching position at the University of Oklahoma, the Sooners announced, Tuesday.

In nine seasons with the Cougars, Potter racked up a school-record 88 victories, posted a 55.8 winning percentage and led Washington State to three NCAA postseason appearances (2008, 2009, 2011). The back-to-back trips to the NCAA Championship in 2008-09 were a first in program history and the Cougars advanced to the second round in 2009 and 2011.

Average home attendance more than doubled under Potter and Washington State drew a school-record 856 fans per match in 2011. In the classroom, Cougar student-athletes earned 103 all-conference academic awards, including 16 first team selections.

"Matt Potter's record at Washington State speaks for itself," WSU Director of Athletic Bill Moos said. "Under his leadership, the Cougar soccer program reached new heights and has a strong foundation in place moving forward. Cougar Athletics wishes Matt and his family the best of luck in the future."

Sun Prairie's Lee Brekke Part Of 2011 National Champion Warhawk Football Team

The Sun Prairie Star reports on a local athlete who is part of the champioship football team at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.

"It was a sight you don?t see very often ? the University of Wisconsin ? Whitewater Warhawk football team being held to only three points in a half. That, however, is exactly what happened in the 39th Annual Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl on Friday, Dec. 16 in Salem, Va. Then again, it?s not often rival powerhouse Mount Union has a scoreless half."

Michael Lohan Approves of Daughter Lindsay's Playboy Spread (omg!)

Michael Lohan Approves of Daughter Lindsay's Playboy Spread

While many fathers may cringe at the idea of their daughters stripping down for a magazine, Michael Lohan is looking on the bright side of things.

"If she's happy with it, I?m happy with it," Lohan said on Dr. Drew's The Lifechangers about daughter Lindsay Lohan's nude Playboy photos. "It's a move in a direction where she?s working?so as far as I'm concerned it's a good move."

PHOTOS: Lindsay's OMG moments

Lindsay, 25, earned an reported $1 million for her nude photos in Playboy's January/February 2012 issue, where she poses in a Marilyn Monroe-esque shoot on a red velvet background.

And although Lindsay's parents, Michael, 51, and Dina Lohan, 49 make headlines for not getting along, she too seems to mirror Michael's remarks.

"It was an opportunity for her. She's 25-years-old now, so it was her ultimate decision," Dina explained to The Insider in November. "It will be tastefully done."

Lawyer says soldier shooting client was attacked (AP)

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. ? The lawyer for the 19-year-old California man charged with the attempted murder of an Afghanistan war veteran said his client was under attack when gunfire rang out.

Ruben Ray Jurado was charged Tuesday with attempted murder and multiple sentencing enhancements for using a firearm in the shooting that critically wounded Christopher Sullivan, 22, a Purple Heart recipient. He's expected to be arraigned this week.

Sullivan was home for the holidays at a homecoming party when authorities say a fight began over football. When Sullivan moved to break it up, police say, gunfire broke out.

Defense attorney Michael J. Holmes said Tuesday that he wanted to talk to his client and the district attorney before commenting further on the case.

"It appears that he was being attacked and he was on the ground and was being kicked in the back, stomach, the head, and that is consistent with the injuries that I observed," Holmes said. "It is alleged at that point that Mr. Sullivan was shot."

Authorities said Jurado, who had played football with Sullivan in high school, began arguing with Sullivan's brother over football teams at the party Friday night and then punched him. Sullivan intervened and Jurado pulled a gun and fired multiple shots, hitting Sullivan in the neck, police said.

Sullivan remains in critical condition. His relatives say the gunfire shattered his spine and left him paralyzed from the neck down.

"He's opening his eyes more," his 20-year-old brother Brandon Sullivan told The Associated Press. "We're just waiting day by day."

Sullivan was wounded in a suicide bombing attack last year while serving with the military in Afghanistan. He suffered a cracked collarbone and brain damage in the attack and had been recovering in Kentucky, where he is stationed, before coming home for the holidays.

Sullivan was a wrestler and football player in high school in San Bernardino, about 60 miles east of Los Angeles. He had nine months to go in the military and then planned to become a firefighter or police officer. He always liked to help people, his brother said.

"Say there was a person at school who never had friends or nothing ? Chris would be the person who would go up to him and try to be his friend. He didn't like people to feel alone," Brandon Sullivan said. "He always had a smile on his face."

Southern California Bracing for More Winds

Another round of powerful and possibly damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph are expected to hit?Southern California.

The National Weather Service says the north to northeast winds will kick up before dawn on Thursday and continue through early Friday as a high pressure system builds over the Great Basin.

Sustained winds will range from 25 to 40 mph, with gusts to 60 mph.

The weather service says the winds will make travel hazardous for big-rigs and high-profile vehicles, such as motor homes. The winds and low humidity will also increase the danger of wildfires.
