I wonder if NRA's competitive shooting division may be able to help with the team names?
If I recall correctly, at that time NRA was the national governing body for the smallbore olyimpic sports.  Today it's USA Shooting (I think that's the name...).   

Hope this helps!

Not sure if any of the Westerguard's shot in the Olympics but I did see a post stating they were selling some of the family rifles on Benchrest Central

Augie was an olimpic shooter. I sent Augie's son a photo of Chris standing next to Augie after a match.
