Shooters score perfect 75 this week The skies were cloudy and the fog was low with a temperature of dang cold. The weather had nothing to do with the scores fortunately. We had a terrific day which made for terrific scores. Leading the club this week with 25's were Nate Gentry, Ralph Terhaar, Gordon Harman, Jim Ewing and Brandon Poxleitner. The gun club had 47 shooters with a perfect score of 75. The junior shooters also shot well with a score of 73. Leading the way was Brandon Poxleitner with a 25. Mitch Jungert and Dylon Bruegeman with 24's. We would like to express great admiration to our Junior shooters who have been a major asset to our yearly club scores. The Cottonwood Gun Club would like to wish all our Junior shooters well at upcoming District and State tournaments. Go Pirates!
