The Georgia 4-H State .22 Rimfire Match was held at the Rock Eagle 4-H Center Rifle Range near Eatonton, Georgia, on Saturday, May 1. In compliance with COVID-19 restrictions, .22 rifle competitors/teams were brought in at different times and each team shot all of their targets and then left Rock Eagle so the next teams could come in to shoot. Our 4-H members shot on the third relay in the afternoon.

     

 

Awards were presented to the top three teams and top seven individuals in the open sight and telescopic sight matches. Calean Merritt and Huey Underhill competed in the telescopic sight contest and Calean placed eighth and Huey placed fifteenth out of 50 competitors. They were coached by Don Stokes and W.B. Merritt.
