YOUNG
HILLSBORO TRAPSHOOTER IS CHAMP AT FALL HANDICAP |
 |
||||||
John Battles, 16, from Hillsboro, MO turned in an amazing performance at the MTA's Fall Handicap on October 6, 2007. On his way to winning the championship for his 100-target event, The Lewis Handicap, Battles broke an amazing 273 out of 275 targets! Yes, 273 targets in a 100-target event. Tied with a much older veteran shooter from California with a perfect 100 at the end of the event, a shootoff began. Both John and his opponent proceeded to run another 100 straight! John then went 24-25 in the next two rounds, as did his opponent. Finally, in the next round he bettered the older shooter by one bird for the victory. John shoots in the SCTP program with the Arnold Junior Shooters and was also a member of the team which won the national title at the Grand American in August (above). Congratulations, John!
