18 Panthers to shoot in state meet June 7-9
Putting together their best week of competition this year, the NRHEG Clay Target team took a total of 18 of 21 points to finish out the spring season.
The scores were strong from top to bottom with most of the shooters either matching or beating their season average. While it was not enough to erase the lead that the Brainerd team had, it was more than enough to solidify the team's runner-up position after passing Woodbury last week.
For week 5, the team was led by Kyle Bartz with a 47/50. This earned the team 5 of its 18 points, but the strength of a team comes in the averages for the top 50% of shooters and the total team average.
