Prom Queen Type Marksman Sets Perfect 400 Score at Midview
Janet Eppley, a 16 year old Midview High junior, set a perfect 400 of 400 with 23 Xs at the Bohi Tournament in Cincinnati, unseating last year’s champ Jim Matusik. She credits her father Ray Eppley for starting rifle interest, joined the Midview Rifle Club in 1959, and balances practice five nights weekly with work on her father’s farm to cover expenses.
