CAMP PERRY, Ohio - Jaycie Hoenig, 18, had an incredible week back in July. It was her first trip to the National Matches, where she had planned on only attending the Small Arms Firing School, just for a little taste of highpower shooting. Unbeknownst to her, the small taste would turn into a smorgasbord - and she would end up learning more than she could have ever dreamed.
"This is a game-changer," she said.

Talented Junior F-Class Rifle Shooter Sydnie Lipski
- By Chris Whitney, Shooting Sports USA -
This season, I had the pleasure of shooting with a very talented young lady by the name of Sydnie Lipski. I came to know her through a friendship with her dad-gunsmith Al Lipski.
