The Leech Cup is an award name after Arthur Blennerhassett Leech, and given to long range shooters. It is the oldest trophy awarded in competitive target shooting in the United States.[1] Firing is with rifles equipped with metallic, non-magnifying sights.[1] HistoryThe cup was presented to the Amateur Rifle Club of New York by Arthur Blennerhassett Leech. He was the Captain of the Irish Rifle Team and in 1874 he had the cup made to celebrate his team coming to America. It was presented to the National Rifle Association in 1901 by the Amateur Rifle Club of New York. The Cup was lost in 1913 and was not recovered until 1927. The trophy is awarded each year in the NRA National High Power Championships.[2] The 1903 Cup was awarded to Corporal Charles Blish Winder of the Ohio National Guard.[3] See also
