Collegiate Marksman Helped by Forum Members

[Paula Marie Hamilton]

Several years ago you all helped collect donations to help my son John afford a smallbore in an attempt to become a shooting athlete. Here you go. First day of Ohio States D1 Rifle team practice. It was also his first time wearing a fitted suit. OSU goes with Capapie suits, which John says makes a stupid difference. He hadn't shot air in 4 months instead working over the summer getting his private pilots license, and shooting smallbore. His first target as an OSU athlete was a 100 6x. Thank you all for getting him here. I'm proud of him, and you all for giving him a chance.

Folks, don't forget Katie Zaun. Katie's Dad is a member of this forum. She is right at the top of all shooters around the World. Katie has enrolled at TCU on a rifle scholarship.

Yep, I've had the pleasure to get to watch her shoot. She will help elevate that program, and I'm sure to see her at Akron for the NCAA finals, if not the Olympics

Glad we could help.. I was wondering the other day how John was doing now I know.. Thanks for the update..

I'm proud to have been part of this group that
stood up and helped John.

Shooters are generally fine people and this effort
just reminded me of this.

Paula, please keep us posted on John's progress.

Paula it’s sure been fun to watch his progression. 3 or 4 years ago when this started, could you imagine he’d be shooting for Ohio St.? What a ride huh? Congrats to both of you.

I'd give an eye tooth to see your daughter and my son's match. Your daughter is just incredible, and I'm not sure many people will ever beat her much. John's loving his fitted suit, Tied or broke his PB in both practices. Most importantly he is having fun, and getting an education.

That's awesome!
Would be nice if espn would televise things like this instead of Cornhole , whiffed baseball and pickle ball.
