Long Distinguished runs.
Ben Sepaugh, the owner of the Panola range, was the oldest guy to go Distinguished up to his date, which was in the late 1900s. He was over 60. Rol Coggins just legged out- he got his first points with a GARAND in the mid-80s, then shot M1As for a decade or so, got more points, and finished with an AR15 this spring. Rol finished when he was 60 as well.
Couple of our juniors have legged out. They aren't juniors any more but they were when they went Distinguished. One of them won the Alice Bull last year and the other one is on the Army Marksmanship Unit.
When the Panola Club gets together it seems like everyone is Distinguished and we have a large percentage of the High Masters in Highpower Rifle. Great bunch of guys. I usually shoot a group photo of Distinguished Riflemen at the Texas Championships and we line up by badge number. Sometimes we have 30 folks in the photo.
