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.
