The Fremont team's Senior Division shooters competed at Ashland Gun Club, producing a second-place handicap shoot finish. The runner-up Gold lineup included Kellen Shelton — the high overall champ — Wyatt Widman, John Von Behren, Cyris Sass and Trenton Hansen.
Widman was second as a individual in the handicap shoot, going 47-for-50, while Hansen earned first from 18-19 yards with a 44-for-50 effort.
