Thanks to everyone who participated in the 2012 Club Championship. Our 2012 Club Champion is Taylor Boeshans. Taylor fired an excellent score of 380/400 for the club championship win. First place in the Intermediate-Junior category was John Tibke firing an excellent score of 379/400. Our second place Intermediate-Junior was Kohl Klein with a 371/400. Our first place Sub-Junior was Lana Fairbanks with a 373/400, second place Sub-Junior was Jacob Langerud with a personal best 349/400, and the 3rd place Sub-Junior was Madison Gall also with a personal best 347/400. The team match winners were Taylor and Adam Volk firing a 317/400 and the second place team was Madison and Jayden Pifer firing a 309/400. Congratulations to all the competitors that participated in our 2012 Club Championship event.

Also – congratulations goes out to Taylor Boeshans and John Tibke. Taylor and John fired scores to complete their Junior Distinguished Rifleman awards during the Junior 4-Position State and Sectional matches held at our range the weekend of March 10 and 11.

This completes the 19th year of our Junior Marksmanship program and it was another great season. We had a lot of new shooters again this season, and it was great have many of our junior competitors attend events held in Bismarck, Minot, Devils Lake and Grand Forks. Remember – every time you get on the line you gain more experience for events down the road.



Be sure to thank our coaches and others that helped with the program including Tina, Dave and Mary Kay Tokach and Dan Marquart. I would also like to thank Walt Fairbanks and all the other parents that helped out scoring targets, setting up and taking down the range. It takes a lot of volunteer time and effort to put on this program.

I hope to see everyone back for the Advanced Junior Marksmanship program this fall. The advanced program is for juniors that intend to compete in 2012-13 shooting events including the State Junior Olympic Qualifier match usually held in Minot in January, 2013. The sign-up session will probably be very close to 6:30pm on Thursday, September 20, 2012.

That’s it for this season and I hope to see everyone back next season. Until then, take care and good shooting!
