"Our kids have started the 2008 season good. Our first shoot on March 30th at Remington we had rain and windy conditions. April 12 we had extremely high winds. We had not seen winds that strong since we shot in Sparta Illinois last August. Most of the kids handled the extreme conditions pretty well. I am proud of the progress that our team has made. We took 7 out of 9 trophies that were awarded in Heber Springs this past Saturday." Coach Pat Turnage
