Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 1925 Drexel Women's Rifle Team

My high school had ROTC. Basement range where they built the cafeteria. So the cafeteria door was "armored" - clad in metal plating etc.

Used to joke it's because of quality of food.

Bet they won’t burn the toast again.

Those are some cool photos!

My two oldest granddaughters both graduated from an all girls school that had a trap team. Of the two, I never would have guessed that the older one would have wanted to shoot. My son in law is an avid hunter so I guess that’s where it came from. She and her sister have both bagged some really nice Delta bucks over the last couple of years and have enjoyed dove and duck hunting too.

Tennessee Tech had air rifle and small bore rifle teams when I was there and as far as I know, still do.

Sorry to say, but it appears the Golden Eagles at Tennessee Tech lost their rifle team in 2010 due to funding issues.

Wasn't Drexel the pimp in the movie True Romance?

Took a marksmanship & orienteering class at NWMSU in 1986. Shot 10 meters with Remington and Winchester rimfires, useful and fun class!

Drexl Spivey had only one “e”. Gary Oldman in dreadlocks (upper left) looks a bit different than when he played Winston Churchill (upper right).

Wasn't his acting in True Romance magnificent? My favorite movie.

When I was in highschool in the early 1960's I was on the rifle team, taught my younger sister to shoot and she joined the rifle team at her highschool. Along comes the city championship pitting the two schools against one another, my sister shot well enough to take first place and I took second. Still have the silver medal and varsity letters from shooting team. I shot a Springfield 1922 when they were available, if not a Mossberg 144.
