SUTTER, CA (MPG) - The Sutter Shotgun Team has done so very well this year, and the JV Team achieved a second trifecta at the YSSF (Youth Shooting Sports Federation) US Open in Las Vegas of being the first place team in all three venues of trap, skeet and sporting clays. Sutter was the first team to achieve this in 2019 and now we have done it again. This year’s JV competitors have been simply on fire for the whole year and for all three seasons of trap, skeet and sporting clays.

As a coach it is truly amazing to watch. The kids have worked so hard. They worked together as a team helping each other and supporting each other.

Our team as a whole took third place HOA (High Overall Award).   Amazing.

Individual wins:

Seventh grader Landon McCracken from our Sutter junior team shot a 196 in trap and took the belt buckle for first place individual in the IE Division. In skeet Landon took  second place individual and second place individual in sporting clays

JV shooter Mathew Siller took fourth place individual in skeet, and third place individual in sporting clays.

JV shooter Garrett Bartels took fifth place in sporting clays.
