[…] WWII. Unfortunately, the sweltering Arizona heat made it way too difficult for Brubaker and Little to wear the steel while competing. Wanting to stay cool and as true to the uniforms as possible, the two also fired in the match without a shooting jacket – causing them to be unable to firmly stabilize their rifles against their shoulders.
