Wimbledon Cup Winner 1986

Also held annually at Camp Perry, the Wimbledon Cup is like a separate National Championship unto itself. The match is 20 shots for record, any rifle, any sights, fired prone at 1000 yards. Followed by a shoot off by the high scoring competitor on each relay to determine the winner.

National Highpower Rifle Silhouette Champion -- 1987 -88-89-90-91-92-93

This event is fired at distances of 200,300,385 and 500 meters at metallic silhouettes of animals. All firing is done offhand. Three 40-shot matches constitute the championship aggregate (120 possible). (Won this event 7 times in a row.) Culminated by the last win in 1993 using a FACTORY Remington 700 against the custom "chin guns" that David pioneered. This is akin to winning the Indianapolis 500 with a stock Corvette. This experience more or less "closed the door" on David's Silhouette Championship run: not much else to prove!
