2012 Bulldog Invitational

Despite a bit of wind on Sunday the weather could not have been better for the first Bulldog Invitational.  Shooters from Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee participated in the 2-day 225 target event.  Saturday began with 75 Skeet targets.  Following lunch, 75 5-Stand targets were shot.  University of Tennessee-Martin shooter Zach Mathis took the skeet championship with a total of 68.  Runner-up was Rome Johnson from MSU with a score of 67.    Austin Davis from MSU squeaked out a victory in the demanding 5-stand course shooting a score of 56.  Zach Mathis took runner-up honors on the 5-stand.

Sunday saw over 50 shooters competing in the Trap event.  The wind had the birds bouncing but it did not stop the Arlington Trappers from capturing High-Team, and Runner-up Team.  Additionally, Kameron Johnson took high overall with a score of 71.  Runner-up was Justin Black with a score of 70.  Arlington shooter Taylor Black won the High Ladies with a 70, followed closely by Runner-up Lindsey Pokrzywinski with a 69.

Shooters scores can be found here.

The MSU Shooting Sports Club is grateful to all of the shooters for their participation, the Starkville Gun Club for the support and use of facilities, and for the volunteers who helped keep the shoot running smoothly!  This event was made possible through a grant with the National Shooting Sports Foundation - please support them and those that they support.  We hope we can see everyone again next year along with some new shooters.
