Text Box: The 2009 National Trophy Rifle Matches got underway yesterday at Camp Perry, Ohio.  The first two matches have already been completed.  The President's Rifle Match, perhaps the most prestigious rifle match in America, will be fired today.  The top 100 out of a total of 1,300 competitors will become members of the "President's 100."   The winner, who will be determined after a pressure-packed final between the top 20 competitors, by tradition receives a letter of congratulations from the President of the United States. 

Text Box: SFC Norman Anderson, USAR, is shown here being congratulated by his teammates after he won the 2008 President’s Rifle Match in a closely fought final between the top 20 competitors.  Anderson will be one of the leading contenders to once again make it into this year’s Presidents Rifle Match Final.
