Humboldt Sharpshooters Have a Successful Summer
It has been yet another successful year for the Humboldt SharpShooters Club, with many awards going out to the kids.
Whitney Boltjes-Johnson was invited to be part of a 4-person Air Rifle team representing the state of South Dakota in the 4-H National Shooting Matches held in Grand Island, NE. The air rifle team placed 7th in each event, which included Standing, Prone, Kneeling, and Silhouettes. Out of 67 shooters, Whitney placed 23rd overall with a 511 in 3P. She shot 8 silhouettes on a very windy, rainy day to tie for 30th place in that competition.
