A large crowd of shooters gathered for this year’s competition! Two traps were used to alternate each round and shooters could buy back in twice if they missed by paying a $5.00 contribution. The first two rounds went along easily but the third round targets were set hard, low and fast! The fourth round was set as a wobble target. The youth shooters from Michigan were tough competitors…smoking targets!

By the fifth round, Emily Miller had been smashing targets and was still in the hunt, but missed. She bought back in to stay in the competition.

Doug, Breydon and Wyatt

In the 6th round, 4 shooters remained to fight it out. Third place required a shoot-off between Wyatt Debrie and Lloyd Ridenbaugh. The final results were:
