Bainbridge High School rising senior Hunter Pelham is competing this week in the National Junior Olympics International Skeet Shooting Competition. The event, held on Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, Colorado takes place this Thursday and Friday, June 29 and 30.
Hunter shoots International Skeet with the Bridge Creek Clays and South Georgia Youth Shooting Club and is coached by Mike Simpson, the 2013 USA Shooting Coach of the Year.
From USAShooting.com:
“The National Junior Olympic program provides competitions year-round for shooters to partake in. The program runs matches throughout the country, making it accessible for all interested juniors. Junior shooters are able to participate in State Competitions sanctioned by USA Shooting, allowing them the chance to receive an invitation to shoot at the National Junior Olympic Championships hosted by USA Shooting in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The program serves as an important element of our pipeline development system in promoting the shooting sports. Junior Olympic goals are to allow the skilled junior athletes to obtain National competitive experience for future development. The program also serves as an opportunity to appoint the top finishers to the National Junior Team.”
Congratulations to Hunter and good luck from your friends in southwest Georgia!
