“For 40 years the International BB Gun Championship Match has been the sight of some of the most exciting head-to-head competition around. Things were no different this year on the Western Kentucky University campus”.

This was the headline in the October 2005 Issue of “Shooting Sports USA” an NRA publication, but the rest of the headline should have been, ”Pierre SD JR Shooters Win Big In Kentucky”. The Pierre Junior Shooters proudly accepted their Gold team medals for the second consecutive year with a winning score of 2349-90X. In all 250 shooters comprising 36 teams from 16 states competed in these NRA-sanctioned matches at WKU. Competitors take 10 shots in the prone, kneeling, sitting and standing positions, in 10 minutes on a 5 meter BB Gun range. So a “BIG CONGRATS” goes out to the Pierre group for a job well done…And a “Big Thanks” to the coaches who put a lot of time, energy and heart into making that program so great.
