Young Leader Pistol Shoot, Carmi, Illinois

What a great day! Temps were in the seventies and humidity was low as we had our safety and rules briefing at the Carmi Rifle Club for the Farm Bureau's annual Young Leader Pistol Shoot.

Early risers had the target stands and plates on the ground, and arranging the stages went smoothly.

We split up into groups and were soon ready to shoot. Here's Valinda shooting her first stage.

Barbecue, baked beans, and coleslaw; it doesn't get any better than this.

If you don't go home with honors, you can still go home with a full stomach!

Many Thanks to the good folks at the Carmi Rifle Club, and the White County Farm Bureau for hosting this great event!

Here is the final stage for one group of shooters.
