CFRPC SPP Junior Team Places at Nationals!

About 2 years ago, a group of juniors became organized at our Club to participate in a new youth shooting sport program, the Scholastic Pistol Program. The program is organized by the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation. The SPP is basically a team based Steel Challenge competition, where teams of 4 shoot 4 courses of fire, and their scores are aggratated together for a total team score.

Less than 2 years ago, CFRPC officially sponsored this group of junior shooters and created the Central Florida Rifle and Pistol Club SPP Team.

This week, the CFRPC SPP Team sent two full squads of junior shooters to the 2015 SPP National Championships in Sparta, Illinois. This was the first appearance by any CFRPC SPP Team squad at the Nationals.

There were more than 40 SPP Junior Rimfire squads entered in the Nationals. We are very proud to announce that CFRPC SPP Team Blue (Dylan Johnson, Kylee Miner, Reed Carter & Zach Bolette) placed 3rd and CFRPC SPP Team Orange (Mitchell Henderson, Jackson Vasey, Zach Briggs & Kevin Rice) placed 5th at the Nationals! Also, Kylee Miner was the 2nd Highest Female shooter in the Junior Rimfire division out of a field of 62 girls. On the boys’ side, out of 120 shooters, Dylan Johnson placed 6th, Reed Carter placed 12th, Zach Briggs placed 16th, Zach Bolotte placed 20th, Jackson Vasey placed 21st, Kevin Rice placed 23rd, Mitchell Henderson placed 24th, and Dylan Boyles (our alternate) placed 39th.

Congratulations to the shooters, and congratulations to their coaches, Dave Cloutier, Nason Miner, Morgan Goring and Bryan Barrett!!
