The other surprise course<br />
was "Officer Needs Assistance."<br />
In the second part of this field<br />
course the competitor had to<br />
simulate the total disabling of<br />
her pistol. For safety reasons it<br />
was decided that the shooter<br />
would holster a safe gun before<br />
completing the course.<br />
The competitor started<br />
seated in a chair with her gun<br />
on a table. She engaged the<br />
first array of targets and proceeded<br />
towards the "backyard<br />
fence,'' before crossing a threshold<br />
she engaged a second target<br />
array and then holstered a safe<br />
gun.<br />
Around the "back yard'' fence<br />
and out of sight of the gallery<br />
was a "downed" officer and three<br />
hostile targets. To finish the<br />
course the lady competitor had<br />
to engage the final three targets<br />
with the equipment she found<br />
there. The big question was<br />
what kind of equipment was<br />
around the fence and what<br />
condition was it in to use. The<br />
handgun lying on the ground,<br />
along with some loose rounds,<br />
was a Smith & Wesson<br />
double-action revolver with six<br />
spent cases in it. The<br />
competitor had to pick-up the<br />
revolver, anaylze that it was<br />
empty, eject the six fired cases,<br />
and load it before engaging the<br />
final three targets. Judy Ross<br />
won this stage. CAROL WINE<br />
was this year's Ladies' Champion.<br />
Judy Woolley finished<br />
second, and in third place was<br />
Kerry Lathwell. Other ladies in<br />
the top ten from fourth place<br />
down were: Sheila Brey, Betty<br />
Jo Ratliff, Cinday Lynn<br />
Fullhart, Kelley Stewart, Donna<br />
Burch, Marsha Dean and Sandie<br />
Layton.<br />
Carol Wine attributed her<br />
win to the coaching she has<br />
received from her husband,<br />
Floyd Wine. Floyd said that it<br />
was Carol's hard work and<br />
determination which paid off for<br />
her. "Carol gets up every<br />
morning and runs four miles<br />
and then dry fires for an hour<br />
before going to work." he<br />
explained. After work she heads<br />
to the range to get an hour or so<br />
of practice in before heading<br />
home. Before a major<br />
tournament like the U.S.<br />
Nationals the Wines try to<br />
practice at least 300 rounds a<br />
day.<br />
