Broken Bow, OK - Twenty volunteers and eleven participants started out Saturday morning in a cold wind, transforming a quarter section west of Broken Bow into a hunter's extravaganza.  As the weather warmed up, so did the shooting.  John Coffman, a 25 out of 25 on sporting clays.  (This guy needs someplace to shoot competitively.)  Archery had two 270/300.  We had a lot of first time black powder shooters that will be looking for their first gun by Deer Season.

The overall first and second place SR. was 1st - John Coffman, 2nd - Jarod Conrady.  Overall JR., 1st - Rafe Ford, with Eli Prater coming in 2nd.  These guys won a hunting knife and sheath.  All participants won a box of .22 and 20 gauge ammo, T-shirts, and framed certificates of completion.  Please support those that supported the important hunter challenge.  They understand our young people are our hunting future, see ya next year.
