shooters changing targets downrange at NRA National Matches

NRA Blog Article about Flight Emergency Author Reya Kempley

If you’ve read the “About the Author” section in Flight Emergency, you know that aside from aviation, I also enjoy competitive target shooting. This summer at the NRA National Smallbore Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio, I was interviewed by Lars Dalseide for NRAblog. In addition to discussing my shooting, Lars asked me about learning to fly and publishing my aviation book. This article is the result: Reya Kempley shoots at NRA Rifle and publishes on Amazon. I’m flattered to be the focus of his post and grateful for the book mention.

As for the next book, barrel rolls and shooting in the Camp Perry sun both sound like fun to me! Hope to see you next year, Lars, with more to talk about on both fronts.
