Odessa Gun Club members gathered last Sunday to celebrate the end of the trapshooting season with the Spokesman-Review sponsored Inland Northwest trapshoot contest.
The Marlin/Odessa Gun Club, competing in Division I of the Spokesman-Review Inland Northwest Trapshoot, placed second overall after the eight-week session's final shoot on Feb. 23. Marlin/Odessa was only four targets off the pace set by first-place Yakima Valley Sportsmen. In the women's division, M/O finished week 8 with a flourish, getting their best score of the season and moving up from sixth place to fourth in the final standings. The top individual scorers for the team were Shelby Smith, Shelby Brashear, Shana Galloway and Carmen Eckhardt. In the youth division, the team finished in second place behind the Spangle Gun Club.
In individual scoring, Nick Tebow (Odessa) and Bill James (Marlin) were in a three-way tie with Shane Merrill (Ft. Colville Gun Club) for third place, each with a shooting average of 193. Among women shooters, Shelby Brashear (Marlin) tied with Michele Schroeder (Wallace-Kellogg) for first place with 181. In the junior division, Kaden Johnson (Marlin) placed sixth, while Marcus King and Daeton Deife (Odessa) tied for seventh. The sub-juniors who placed were Dakota McAfee (Marlin) third and Tucker Walter (Odessa) fifth.
The annual Champion of Champions shoot will be held March 28 at the Spokane Gun Club, starting at 9 a.m. It will begin with a 100-target event (cost is $32 per shooter), followed by a 50-bird, nonregistered handicap event.
