Members of the Flames’ and Lady Flames’ Action Shooting team returned from Talladega, Ala., with collegiate rifle and pistol team national championships including seven individual titles.
As the 2020 Scholastic Action Shooting Program (SASP) rifle national collegiate champions, Liberty University’s Action Shooting team returned to Talladega, Ala., this past weekend and not only defended its Rifle Cup title, but added its first-ever Pistol Cup national collegiate championship trophy to its collection.
“We had extraordinary efforts by all 11 competitors that traveled with the team,” said Flames Head Coach Bill Crawford, who also serves as general manager of the Liberty Mountain Gun Club. “As the coach, I continue to be amazed with the tenacity and resilience of the shooters. The team works for each other at a level I have not seen in my shooting career.”
