Young marksmen turned out for a skeet-shooting competition sponsored by Clemson Extension’s 4-H program at the Mid-Carolina Gun Club in Orangeburg recently. The 69 contestants each shot 100 skeet targets.

“We had some impressive scores,” said Rick Willey, 4-H shooting sports coordinator. “I want to thank everyone for making this possible – parents, volunteers, coaches, instructors and the Mid-Carolina Gun Club – for another well organized event.”
