2024 3D Points Champion Announced
We have an announcement to make. After reviewing all the 3D member shoot score cards this year, we have determined who the overall 2024 points winner is. Drum roll............Elijah Rouse from Winter Park is our winner!! He had a combined score of 756, that is an average of 189 per round. He attended all 4 shoots we had this year (June, July, August 1, and August 2). Our October shoot was canceled this year, and we apologize for that. Please give him congrats if you see him in town. He will be receiving a custom belt buckle in the mail soon.
Thanks again to everyone who joined our shoots each month this year. In 2025 we are planning again shoots in June, July, August and October. See you all in the spring.
