The ISRPA Moncrief Service Rifle award has been inaugurated in 2006 with the 2006 State Championship Match.  The Moncrief Service Rifle Award honors the highest scoring shooter with a Service Rifle in the annual ISRPA State Championship Match.  Gary Moncrief was an Army Veteran.  He was an avid NRA Highpower competition.  He was a Master across the course and an Expert at long range.   He was a true supporter of the sport. He would loan his best equipment-- rifle, scope, ammo, etc.-- to anyone who was trying to get started in the sport or needed a hand. Gary was a farmer by trade but a hunter and target shooter by passion. His biggest excitement of the year was the trip to Perry to compete in the service rifle and long range competitions.  And then deer hunting season! The majority of his deer hunting was in Jennings County where he grew up. He had two trophy bucks that were scored in Boone and Crockett to show for his efforts. His life was cut short at the age of 46 by terminal cancer. Gary continued on giving after his death by donating target rifles and equipment to the Hoosier Hills Rifle and Pistol Club, which he spelled out in his will. By doing this he continues to live on in the hearts and minds of the shooting fraternity as his rifles and equipment still show up on the firing line, often winning matches just as Gary intended.  Logan Montgomery, competing with several pieces of Gary's equipment, is the first recipient of the Moncrief Service Rifle Award.
