November: Jamie Beyerle Jamie Beyerle, one of America’s top rifle athletes, boasts a resume that includes three medals and a quota place in Women’s 50m Rifle Three Position and yet another medal in Women’s 10m Air Rifle . . . all during 2010. Beyerle was invited to compete in the 2010 International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) Rifle and Pistol World Cup Final in both the Women’s 10m Air Rifle and Women’s 50m Rifle Three Position events. Competing against some of the best athletes in the world, Beyerle beat all expectations. She entered the Women’s 10m Air Rifle final in the lower half of the field with 396 match points. A strong final of 103.2 points left Beyerle tied with Italy’s Elani Nardelli for the bronze medal at 499.2 points. In the shoot-off, Beyerle succeeded with a 10.5 point single shot to Nardelli’s 9.8 point shot. Beyerle once again brought her medal winning ways to the Women’s 50m Rifle Three Position event. She finished the qualification round with 590 points, tied with only one other shooter. Beyerle shot for 100.7 points in the final to win the gold medal with 690.7 total points. National Rifle Coach Major Dave Johnson said, “She’s been shooting great and working towards this success for a long time. It’s nice to finally see things coming together. I’m looking forward to see her accomplishing planned goals for the quad in the future.” USA Shooting would like to congratulate Jamie Beyerle, the Athlete of the Month for November, and wish her continued success for 2011.

Though he excelled in Men’s 10m Air Pistol, Turner also shot Men’s 50m Free Pistol in Beijing in 2008 and finished in 20th place with 553 total points. His resume improved dramatically in November when Turner not only finished fourth in Men’s 10m Air Pistol, but also won a quota for the USA Shooting Team in Men’s 50m Free Pistol at the Championship of the Americas (CAT Games). Turner’s previous free pistol scores were in the 540s and 550s, yet in Rio de Janeiro, Turner shot a world-class score of 568 points in qualification. National Pistol Coach Sergey Luzov said, “This achievement can open up the gates for a contending score at the Olympic Games. I’m pleased that Turner finally achieved an elite point total in Free Pistol.” Top that off with a 97.6 point final and he was the gold medalist . . . and USA Shooting’s Athlete of the Month. www.usashooting.org 23 jan feb 2011.indd 23 1/3/2011 10:46:20 AM
