He was a remarkable young man with a love for guns and shooting.

He was one of the first Snipers Hide members - going by the handle "Darkeagle" (member #260) and enjoyed learning and sharing here.

Danny traveled with his father (deadeye on the Hide) participating in many competitions:

At age 16 he won 1st place as Grand Aggregate winner at the Spirit of America F-Class Fullbore Rifle Prone Match and Sierra Bullets Individual Match at the NRA Whitington Center 2003 - Raton , New Mexico

Earned the NRA Distinguished Expert Award in BOTH left and right handed 3 position small bore rifle.

Age 17 took 1st place USMC High Civilian Shooter at the Carlos Hathcock Match , New Jersey ; 2004 (and was higher than the Top Marine score as well)

He also competed in NYS Rifle and Pistol Association events; placing 1st place in the Junior Open Site competition and named the NYS Sporter Rifle High Male Junior 2 years straight.

Box of assorted Man-Swag leaves my house tomorrow AM.
A heartfelt thanx to Nancy for reminding me.

Re: Danny "Darkeagle" Memorial Shoot

Well, it is with much regret that I won't be at this one. I'll be headed for Allentown for some unscheduled family matters.

It is extra disappointing, as I had lined up a rifle that might have actually made me competitive.

Good luck to everyone! I hope you have great weather and a great turnout.
 
Re: Danny "Darkeagle" Memorial Shoot

Best of luck to all the shooters...Danny will be controlling the wind.
 
Re: Danny "Darkeagle" Memorial Shoot

Scott started a new post with scores so I will just quote it over here as well and add that Danny's sister Megan who has never shot a match asked if she could shoot and although she didn't feel well, shot a 181-11V.


<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">A smaller group than last year, yet we had a grand time. More mirage than we tend to see at Odessa, but bright mid-summer sunshine and near 90 degree temps with little wind to deal with. Our top 3 shooters that took some cash home were as follows:

1. Rob T. 199-28V 6PPC
2. Keith E. 198-17V 6PPC
3. Mike P. 197-20V 6BR

Thanks to Jim and his Jimmy, Bobby, and JDA Sr for all the help with the pre-match mowing and target changes.

We fired the match at 240yds.

Hey Mike, you left the barrel and stock here. I have it at home and will wait to see you next time or will wait for some sort of message from you or Rob.

Regards,

Scott </div></div>
