Choose from six locations at Ladies Day on the Range
Becoming an Outdoors-Woman will host this event April 26 at six different ranges in Nebraska.
Carson Tomasek of the Stanton 4-H Shooters broke all 75 targets at 16 yards before winning a shoot-off Friday, May 2, to become individual champion at the 55th Cornhusker Trap Shoot at Doniphan, Nebraska.
Tomasek and runner-up George Lee of Norris were the only ones of more than 1,500 shooters with perfect scores, but 10 others scored 74s, 13 scored 73s and 27 had 72s. That should make for a competitive Saturday when they shoot 75 handicap targets. The high school shooter with the highest combined score from the two days will earn the Cornhusker Cup trophy as the overall champion.
Sara Allard of the Sidney Sharpshooters won the ladies’ title Friday with a 72. Norris One was the high school team champion, Wilber 5 Clovers 4-H 1 took the 4-H team crown and Ashland 4-H Syren was the ladies’ team winner.
