John McNally, a 1988 Olympian, won the men’s standard pistol title Thursday at the 30th U.S. International Shooting Championships in Chino.

McNally of Columbus, Ga., had 1146 points, with Terry Anderson of Dallas and Jerry Wilder of Remington, Ind., tied for second at 144. Wilder did not report for the tiebreaking shootoff, so Anderson took second by default.

Bob Foth of Colorado Springs, Colo., another 1988 Olympian, won the men’s air rifle with a score of 1284.9. Mike Anti of Columbus, Ga., was second with 1269.7, and Bill Dodd of Queenstown, Md., third with 1265.

In the standard rifle prone competition, Wigger won with a score of 1174. Robin McCall of Tryon, N.C., and Lana Ward of Indian Rocks Beach, Fla., tied for second with scores of 1173, with McCall taking second in a tiebreaking shootoff.
