North Dakota Ag Connection - 10/26/2020

Ramsey County teams took first place in all three divisions of the 2020 4-H State Air Rifle Championships, which were held in Devils Lake.

The championships were modified to allow shooters to participate at their home range under instructor supervision and send their scores to the host site because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Beginners participated in a 60-shot bench rest competition for a possible score of 600 in the event. The junior and senior teams competed in a three-position (prone, kneeling and standing) event, performing 20 shots at 10 meters in each position for a potential score of 600. Senior-age division participants competed to qualify for the 2021 4-H National Invitational Match in Grand Island, Neb.
