2012-13 NAVY RIFLE


Navy head coach Bill Kelley enters his 14th year at the helm of the Navy rifle program, posting an outstanding 135-17 (.888) re-cord. In his short time at Navy, Kelley has transformed the Mids into a national power, competing for the NCAA title in 12 of the 13 years that Kelley has been in charge.

Perhaps the most telling statistic of Navy’s resurgence in rifle is its 7-6 record under Kelley against Army.

Fifteen different athletes have earned All-America honors during Kelley’s tenure, including Chris Burleson, who was a four-time All-American, including in both disciplines following the 2010 season. Of the five shooters in school history to earn All-Ameri-can status all four years, three of them have come under Kelley’s guidance (Kunzelman and Sarah Bergman and Chris Schneider in 2004-07).

In addition to the All-Americans, Kelley has coached several shooters to Junior Olympic and AAU victories. Four years ago, he helped a relatively unrecruited shooter, Lisa Kunzelman, earn a spot on U.S. Junior World Team and a top-30 finish at the World Championships in her first international competition.

Academically, Navy has been one of the top teams in the na-tion under Kelley’s watch. The team has posted a 100% APR for seven consecutive seasons, which is the longest current streak in the nation. Navy recently received the NCAA’s Public Recog-nition Award for its outstanding performance in the classroom.

Navy finished 8-2 during the 2011-12 season and claimed the MAC Championship for the 13th straight season, every year of Kelley’s tenure.

Two years ago, Navy placed seventh in both the smallbore and air rifle disciplines at the NCAA Championships, while winning the MAC Championship with a 9-1 overall record. The Mids reached the NCAA Championships for the 20th straight season and won the Mid-Atlantic Rifle Conference team title.

Three years ago, Navy placed eighth at the NCAA Champion-ships with a relatively young starting lineup, while finishing with an 8-1 overall record.

In 2009, the Mids placed seventh at the NCAA Championships, but were second in the air rifle discipline for the second straight year. The Mids posted a 17-1 mark, recording the most wins in a season in school history. In addition, three more Mids earned All-American honors, including air rifle first-teamer Lisa Kunzelman. Five years ago, Navy overcame a slow start to qualify for its 17th straight NCAA Championship. The Mids finished seventh in the smallbore competition, then flexed their muscles on day two, taking home runner-up accolades in the air rifle disciplines. Two more Mids, Josh Albright and Lisa Kunzelman, were named first-team All-Americans.

Six years ago, senior Josh Albright became Navy’s first national champion since 1996, when he won the smallbore competition at the NCAA Championship, rallying in the 10-shot finals. He had entered the finals in second, but surged ahead with his ninth shot in the finals, then held on with his final shot for the victory. In 2006, the Mids placed fourth overall at the NCAA Champion-ships, Navy’s third consecutive top-five finish. In addition to the high placing at NCAAs, Kelley guided Navy to a 9-2 record and another MAC title.

In 2005, the Mids placed fifth at the NCAA Championship, post-ed an 11-0 dual-meet record and defeated Alaska-Fairbanks and Army in highly-anticipated dual meets.

In 2004, Navy rifle posted another impressive season, finishing third at the NCAA Championship as five Mids took home All-America honors. Kelley’s Mids posted a second-place finish in air rifle.

In his previous five years, Kelley led the Mids to a sixth-place fin-ish at the NCAA Championships in 2002 and a sixth-place finish in the NCAA Air Rifle Championship in 2003.

In his first year on The Yard, Kelley coached Navy to an unde-feated season and a fifth-place finish at the NCAA Champion-ships.

Prior to joining the Naval Academy family, Kelley served as the rifle coach at Cresap Rifle Club in Frederick, Md. While there, he trained countless highly successful shooters at local, regional and national matches. He also coached the fifth-ranked finalist at the National Junior Olympic Shooting Championship.

In 1992-95, Kelley coached the Maryland resident qualifier in the Junior Olympic Shooting Championship, and in 1995 he co-coached the National Intermediate Junior Champion Rifle Team. In 1996, Kelley worked on the production staff for shooting events at the Olympic Games and World Cup in Atlanta. He received the Diploma of Honour Award from the Union Interna-tionale de Tir (international Olympic governing body) for service to the shooting sports that same year.

Kelley is certified by the National Rifle Association (NRA) as a smallbore rifle coach. He was selected as one of approximately 30 coaches in the United States to train other coaches as a member of the National Coach Development Staff.

He authored Shooting is Fun...At Least it Used to Be, which ad-dresses the problem of burnout among collegiate shooters and suggests remedies. The NRA Shooting Sports USA and NRA Shooting Education Update accepted the article for publication.

Kelley resides in Frederick, Md., with his wife, Liz. Kelley’s youngest son, Josh, is a 2000 graduate of the Naval Academy and was a two-time All-American in rifle. Coach Kelley is the founder and owner of the Gun Center, a full-time retail store in Frederick, Md.

2012-13 NAVY RIFLE


• Air rifle: A weapon that uses a .177 caliber lead pellet propelled by compressed air or gas instead of a gunpowder charge. The rifles can weigh up to 12.12 pounds.• Bull: Short for bull’s-eye. There are 12 bulls per target, 10 for competition and two for sight-ing shots. The 10-ring is actually a dot in the center of the bull’s-eye. In smallbore, the 10-dot is slightly smaller than in the air rifle.• Center 10: When the shot hole is tangent to or completely takes out the 10-dot in the target.• Cleaned: A perfect target, in which the shooter hits a 10 on each of the 10 targets on the sheet for a perfect score of 100. Can also be used to refer to a perfect match.• Front sight: The sight attached to the end of the barrel of the rifle, holding the front aperture.• Full course: In smallbore, a full course con-sists of 120-record shots, 40 in each position, fired in the following order: prone, standing, kneeling. In air rifle, a full course is 40 shots.• Half course: In smallbore, a half course con-sists of 60 shots, 20 in each position (offhand, kneeling and prone). There is no half course in air rifle.• Electronic Targets: A target system that uses microphones and sound waves from the bullet or pellet going through the paper to send to a monitor on each point.

• Iron sights: Sights that employ no magnifi-cation.• Kneeling: Shooting from a kneeling position with the offhand (non-trigger side) supported by the off knee.• Off hand: The unsupported standing position (shooting ‘off the hand’ rather than with the non-trigger arm supported on a knee or the floor).• Perfect match score: In air rifle and small-bore, 600 is perfect.• Plug: A metal device the same size as the shot hole, used to score targets. Variations include the ‘inner plug’ and ‘outer plug.’ With the inner plug, the scored is determined by the contact point of the outside edge of the plug with the inside of the next lowest scoring ring. With an outer plug, the score is determined by the contact point of the outer edge of the plug with the inside of the scoring ring.• Prone: Shooting from a lying position.• Range officer: The person in charge of timing the match and ‘running the line,’ which includes assisting shooters who are having difficulties and enforcing rules governing the match.• Record shots: Also known as ‘for record shots,’ those shots that are counted toward the match score, with ‘sighters’ not included.• Relay: Shooters firing the match at once at a designated time.

• Shooting glove: A padded glove or mitt, with or without fingers, used to ensure the comfort of the non-dominant hand (i.e., a right-handed shooter wears a glove on the left hand) as the shooter supports the rifle.• Shooting jacket: The jacket is made of leather or canvas and provides support and pads the shooter to minimize the effect of pulse and recoil. There are strict guidelines regarding the thickness.• Shooting boots: Boots designed for rifle shooting. They have the toe end of the sole and heel cut flat for stability.• Shooting trousers: Snug canvas and/or leather pants usually worn over another pair of comfortable pants. They often have padded re-inforcements sewn on both knees and the seat to prevent the slipping of elbows and knees when firing from the kneeling position.• Sighting shots: Practice shots taken before going ‘for record shots.’ Sighting shots are un-limited and may be fired before the beginning of each position. Once the first record shot in a position has been fired, no further sighting shots are permitted.• Sling: Adjustable straps with buckle adjust-ments and arm cuffs that provide stability. A sling is attached to the rifle and helps to sup-port it.

• Smallbore: A .22 caliber weapon with a metallic sight used in competition. It can be customized with special accessories and/or al-terations (barrel length and style, stock, design, etc.) to fit the shooter’s needs and comforts.• Spotting scope: A type of telescope used to locate shot holes.} Tie breaking: In NCAA competition, ties are broken as follows: 1) by the highest score in the last 10 shots; 2) by the higest number of 10s, 9s, and 8s; or 3) by the highest number of inner 10s. When shooting other smallbore and air rifle competitions, ties are addressed by the rulebook of either the National Rifle Association or USA Shooting.
