ORPA Vintage trophy Donation
By G. Martin Capito, Sr
Thanks to member Neal W. Burdette for finding, procuring, and donating the 1946
Tewes Trophy back to ORPA. Mr. Burdette's letter and a photo of the trophy are reproduced
here. The trophy is solid hardwood with two brass plaques and a one-quarter inch thick brass
casting. The smaller plaque says "1946" and is attached to the casting. The larger plaque is
attached directly to the hardwood and states:
STATE CHAMPION
GALLERY PRONE METALLIC SIGHTS
300X300+84 TENS
STATE RECORD
We would like to thank Mr. Burdette for his generosity. Nothing else is known about the trophy
as the name of the winner is not on it and other contemporary records have been missing for
years. The origin of this Tewes Trophy is also lost to history. If anyone else has any further
information it would be appreciated if it were shared with the membership.
Mr. Burdette’s Letter:
“In late September 2015 I was in Barnes Guns, Lancaster, Ohio and saw that Charlie
Carnes had this trophy on the wall by his office.
I asked how much he wanted for it and he asked what I wanted it for. I said I wanted to
send the 69 year old trophy home to ORPA.
Charlie took it off the wall and handed it to me
Unfortunately Charlie passed away on the first of October and Barnes Guns is no more.
I hope this can be displayed at ORPA Headquarters. It is quite a score for its time, but
doesn’t list the shooters name. Enjoy!
Neal W. Burdette
Member # 1694
90 years and too stiff for position shooting.”
Again thank you Mr. Burdette for passing this trophy on to ORPA.
Congratulations to
Don Fine, Loveland, OH (MRPC) in rifle
Kimberly Hobart, New Philadelphia, OH in Pistol
earned their Distinguished Badge
from the CMP.

President’s Column
11 December 2015
By G. Martin Capito, Sr.
It's hard to believe but it looks like I get to do another tour of duty
as your President. The Trustees elected me to serve until next Annual
Meeting and I agreed to step up and do it. With the capable leaders,
Trustees and Directors we have in place the Association seems to
continue to be in good hands.
There were several changes brought about at the Annual Meeting. Our immediate past
President Bob Sacco agreed to step into a Vice President's position to join our returning VP's
Gwen Bailey and Larry D. Smith. The Secretary's position is now again held by Keith Bailey,
who returns to a position he had held for several years prior. Jim Scofield stepped down as our
Legislative Director but remains our very capable Treasurer and Alan Joseph is solidly in place
as our Membership Secretary.
I would like to acknowledge and thank our outgoing President Bob Sacco and Secretary
Mary Sacco, as well as Gunsmoke Editor Rachel Scofield. They were a very capable part of our
team and the Association was served well in their service. Rachel took the quality of Gunsmoke
to levels we've never seen before and we owe her a large debt of gratitude for the outstanding
results of her efforts. New Editor Mary Sacco has big shoes to fill, but she and Rachel have
been working together for the last several months to make it a smooth transition. Mary has also
agreed to take over as Clubs Director and as Nominating Chair. Yvonne Smith will be helping as
Assistant Nominating Chairman. Bob Sacco has agreed to take over as Legislative Director.
The Trustees and Officers would like to welcome new Trustee Jennifer Syme into the fold.
It's always good to see new names and faces step up to serve at the State level in any
organization. To that extent we always encourage new people to make the jump and serve at
the State level. An individual's success at the local and regional level has certain advantages
that can help the Association.
The 2016 Trustee meeting dates have been set as January 10, April 10, September 11
and November 12. The locations will be announced later as we are currently in talks with a
couple clubs to obtain venues and discussions have not been completed in time for this issue of
Gunsmoke. Check our website www.orpa.net for the information as it becomes available. The
membership is welcomed and encouraged to attend any meetings they can.
The Trustees are ready and willing to take on our programs into 2016 and just waiting for
the weather to break to get back on the ranges. In the meantime take advantage of the breaks
and hit the reloading room to stock up for next year's needs.
Finally, I'd like to thank member Neal W. Burdette for his surprise donation to ORPA at
this past November's Annual Meeting. Mr. Burdette located and delivered a vintage ORPA
Prone Rifle trophy from 1946. See the story inside for a photo and letter.
Until next time we'll see you on the range and may all your shots ring true. Stay safe.

Michael Dane Shanks, age

Club. Mike joined the Black
Hawks in 2001 and will be
missed by our club as well
as on the firing line. He was
also a long time member of

Junior ORPA Pistol Team at the JORQ
By Jennifer Syme
Have you ever awakened early, and really wanted
a cup of coffee and a donut...only to realize you
can't have one? Welcome to the life of a teenage
shooter. At least, I thought to myself as I looked
around at the other somewhat sleepy faces on an
early December Saturday morning, I'm not alone.
Even with the lack of coffee and donuts, members
of the ORPA Junior Pistol team under the direction
of Coach Fred Totts shot very well at the recent
Junior Olympic Regional Qualifier. The Qualifier,
held on December 5th at the University of Akron,
was hosted by ORPA. Shooters at the JORQ shoot
individually for score in two events, Sport and Air
Pistol. In Sport Pistol, Brett Tucker scored a
538/600, earning a bronze medal. He was followed
by Robert Delagrange, who shot a 507, finishing
4th. Cody Poole shot a 504, in 5th place. Mason
finished with a 408, in 7th place. For the girls,
Jessica Syme won the Sport Pistol event with a
score of 518/600. Zoe Gibson was a close second
with a score of 517. Grace Praisler, new to the
ORPA team, finished 3rd with a 354. The ORPA
Juniors also shot well in Air Pistol, with the men
shooting a 60 shot match and the ladies a 40 shot.
Brett Tucker finished in 2nd place with a 537/600.
Cody Poole shot a 511, finishing in 4th place.
Robert Delagrange finished 5th with a 489. Mason
Poole scored a 355, in 7th place. Zoe Gibson won
the ladies Air Pistol with a score of 343/400.
Jessica Syme finished 2nd place, with a score of
336, and Grace Praisler took the bronze with a 284.
Jessica's first place finish in Sport and Zoe's first
place in Air earned both girls an automatic
qualification to the Junior Olympics in their
respective events. All of the team members are
watching for their invitation to attend the Junior
Olympics at the Olympic Training Center in
Colorado Springs, CO this spring. The team will be
shooting at the Camp Perry Open Air Pistol Match
in January. Stay tuned to your ORPA Gunsmoke
for future updates!
