When an athlete shoots a “Perfect Score of 25” they receive a 25 patch from the Minnesota Clay Target league. Also, for that 1st time accomplishment, YME Trap coaches chose to give those athletes a gun case as an extra bonus. The following Trap team participants were presented were certificates and the gun cases: Ryan Brouwer and Logan Hoff. Both accomplished their perfect score last season. “We would like to thank the Runnings store in Marshall, MN for the donation of a gun case for our young shooter(s),” says coach Sandy Berthelsen. This past week the team shot with the simulator. “I know the kids want to shoot outside but nobody is. So this is the next best thing. We hope to be on the range to shoot soon if the snow would ever stop piling up,” Berthelsen says.
