“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Rachel Champney, a markswoman who was recently awarded the 2017 Rimfire World Championship title in the ladies limited division. A 15-year-old sophomore at Vernon-Verona-Sherrill High School, Rachel began shooting only 2 years ago but has developed a deep love and respect for the sport. She learned how to shoot through local marksmanship programs before being encouraged to compete nationally by members of the Trenton Fish and Game Club. Now, Rachel can fire through six targets with deadeye accuracy in under 3 seconds. With Rachel's success has also come a passion to share her advocacy for gun safety. Rachel spends her free time teaching new shooters, including her family and friends, proper firearm safety measures. As Rachel grows as a markswoman, she continues to grow as a community leader. Congratulations on this amazing accomplishment, Rachel, and I hope to have the honor of shooting with you in the near future. ____________________”
