L to R: Mack, Robert, and Annaliese

Partridge Creek Young Guns Robert Dudley, Mack Morris, and Annaliese Phinney participated in South Carolina Youth Shooting Foundation’s sporting clays season opener at Moree’s Sportsman Preserve in Society Hill, SC. This was a solid course and an absolutely beautiful venue. Robert and Mack are seasoned clay shooters and provided a great deal of support to Annaliese as this was her first sporting clays event. Robert shot an 89, Mack an 84 and our newest addition Annaliese a 39. The kids did a great job of communicating and supporting each other. The team is proudly sporting their new jerseys letting everyone know they are Partridge Creek.

Young Guns Achieve Impressive Milestones

Partridge Creek Young Guns achieved two milestones at the NSSA Snowbird Classic hosted by Partridge Creek Gun Club in Ridgeville, SC, November 1-3, 2019. Dylan Heinsohn (L) ran his first perfect 100 straight in 20 gauge. Robert Dudley (R) ran his first 50 in a row in 20 gauge. Dylan's hat faired much better than Robert's. Which is odd, since Dylan's was a White Flyer hat?!?

Partridge Creek Young Guns Shoot 4H/SCTP Trap Qualifier

Partridge Creek Young Guns took to the road and competed in 4H/SCTP Trap Qualifier at Mid-Carolina Gun Club, Oct 26, 2019. The wind made for challenging targets, but the Young Guns prevailed. Most of the youth are new to the program and will continue to improve as the year progresses. With this group, Partridge Creek will need more room for trophies.

The Partridge Creek Gun Club's Young Guns started their 4-H/SCTP season with a Bang!! The Super Sporting match was held at Back Woods Quail Club in Hemingway, SC. It was a single course, so Rookies to Senior Varsity all shot the same targets. Kid you not, this was a very challenging course.

Robert, Mack, and Evelyn took 2nd place with a 196 out of 300 in the Intermediate Advanced division. Robert also placed 2nd for HOA with a 74. Evelyn, our newest lady to Young Guns, took 1st place HOA in Intermediate Advanced Ladies with a 69 out of 100.

Partridge Creek's Young Guns newest members Noah and Landon, brought their A-game. They competed in the Intermediate Entry division as a two-man squad and took a solid 3rd place with a 116. Both of these young men have only practiced twice before their first-ever match.
