Fresh off a stellar 2010, Scherer  started 2011 with a first and fourth place finish at the two-day  Bavarian Airgun Tournament in Germany.  In the first day of competition,  Scherer entered the final in the lower-half of the field, tied with six  other shooters at 396 points.  Staying on target, she fired deep-tens  for an outstanding 104.4 points in the final and 500.4 total points.  In  a sport of tenths, Scherer recovered from a two-point deficit to  overtake Croatia\u2019s Tanja Perec in Junior Women\u2019s 10m Air Rifle.  Winning  by just one-tenth of a point, she also marked the highest number of  center-tens at 34 shots.  In the final day of competition, she shot 397  qualification points and 101.1 points in the final for 498.1 total  points.  It was another solid performance from a promising young  shooter.  National Rifle Coach Major Dave Johnson said, \u201cSarah had a  strong performance in Germany. She made up two points on the leader and  dominated the final. I expect her to continue to learn this spring and  emerge as one of the contenders for London.&#8221;  As a 2010 addition to the  National Rifle Team, Scherer has qualified to compete in three World  Cups this year in Women\u2019s 10m Air Rifle.  In the meantime, however,  Scherer will continue to train and compete as part of the Texas  Christian University\u2019s National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)  reigning Champion Rifle Team.  The Frogs and Scherer will compete in  both individual and team events at the NCAA Championship in March.  USA  Shooting would like to congratulate Sarah Scherer for her nod as the  ELEY Athlete of the Month.<\/p>\n<p>ELEY is a Proud Sponsor of the USA Shooting Rifle and Pistol Teams:  ELEY Limited, manufacturer of the world\u2019s most consistently accurate  rimfire ammunition, has been the Official Sponsor and Official Supplier  of .22 rimfire ammunition of the USA Shooting rifle and pistol teams  since 2000.
