Maxwell/Gunter Pistol Rifle Team 1977

Thanks once again to Ron Fellion. Here's a clipping he sent of the Maxwell AFB Gunter AFS Combined Pistol/Rifle Team. This is at the "Top Gun" competition in 1977 at Lackland AFB, TX.

Jeff Connors also sent a PDF file from "Airman" magazine from 1979. Thanks to Jeff for sending that file. It is very large, but I may post it in its entirety later. Below are excerpts from it:
