Competition Highlight Breakdown:

The 6th season ended with lots of bangs and hits this past Saturday! The Halloween-themed shoot was fun for everyone and a great way to end the season (costumes were not allowed on the line while shooting was being conducted). TOP shooter of the day was Aaden Dennis with 45/50 clays hit! Just one clay away from him was a 4-way tie with 44 /50 clays hit for: Jackson Ryder, Hunter Bolster, Reed VanValkenburg, & Levi Knapp. Incredible job!!
