Decatur County Shooting Sports

Our very own Corey Marcum spent a good part of a week in Rogers, Arkansas at the Daisy National Competition. Daisy Nationals is unlike anything we have ever seen, with team qualifying, a very hard test on the first day worth 1/5th of your total score, and splitting the shoot into two days. Our girl managed to come in 20th out of 251 kids across the country! The team managed to come in 16th out of 51 teams. Congratulations to Corey and the Norton team on a very successful year. I for one couldn't be a prouder coach.

The rifle and pistol season has come to an end with the State competition on Saturday, and as usual, we have come home with some new hardware.
In the Air Pistol competition, we had two shooters, Chevy Larson in the Jr Division and Trevor Witt in the Sr Division. Chevy placed 4th on the paper target competition, 6th in the silhouette, and 5th overall. Congrats to both shooters.
In the BB gun competition, we had four shooters, Emmett Tally in Jr. Division, and in Sr. Division, Chevy Larson, Silas Tally and Corey Marcum. Competition was some of the toughest we have seen this year, but Corey managed to place 2nd in the Sitting position, 4th in the Kneeling position, and 2nd overall, tying with 1st place. The tie breaker was number of bullseyes. Congrats to all four shooters.

A big congrats to Corey and Chevy on their awards, and to all of our shooters for making it to state. They have not posted the final results, so I don't know where everyone else placed, but I am a pretty proud coach of our small group of shooters. We look forward to next year with a little more age and experience, and maybe some more new shooters.
Thank you to everyone involved for making this a great season!
