The Wolf

Creek Young Shooters continue to set their sights on

winning. They hosted the 34th Junior International Air

Pistol competition recently, welcoming their guests with

tough competition at nearly every level.

In the

overall match competition, Wolf Creek shooters placed

second and third. Billy Harrison of Fayetteville took the

silver medal by shooting a 366. Harrison was followed

closely by Peachtree City's Brandon Wayda, who shot a

361. In the J1 division, Cole Beatenbough of Moreland

placed second. Beatenbough shot a 347.

For the J2

division, the Wolf Creek Foxes finished first, second,

and third. Diana Hamlin Beauford won the gold, shooting a

358. She was followed by Jodie Briggs who shot a 355.

Kristi Smith took home the bronze medal, by shooting a

337. The Foxes also finished first in overall team scores

in the J2 division, recording a 1050.

In the J3

division, Wolf Creek Shooters placed first and second.

Neil Robinson finished first with a 296 and Dane

Beatenbough finished second with a 276. Robinson and

Beatenbough were also part of the Wolf Creek Black team

that placed third overall in J3 with a score of 895. The

Wolf Creek Silver team, made up of Wayda, Harrison, and

Cole Beatenbough placed first overall shooting a total

score of 1074.

Practice

certainly seems to be paying off for the young shooters.

They shoot scores more consistently and their confidence

improves each day. The level of competition they face

certainly plays a part in their performance.Though

shooting is an individual sport, they are definitely a

team. The team returns to school next week but will still

compete in the fall.
