Someone mentioned that O'Connor was a very good shot. So far as I know, Keith was just about the only gun writer who ever shot in the national matches at Camp Perry. He was a good shot. George Nonte shot there too, but he was not a very good shot.
Townsend Whelen also was pretty good both as a competitive marksman at Perry and as a writer. There exists a frequently published photo of Phil Sharpe talking with Harry Pope at Perry, but I don't know whether Phil shot in the matches there.
Jim Carmichel has shot very well at the Camp Perry matches. Neal Knox shot there also, although I don't think he did as well as Carmichel. David Tubb, who has done better at Perry than most anybody, has written a couple of books, and writes regularly for
RifleShooter magazine. There are several persons who write for
Precision Shooting who also regularly shoot at Perry.
