ELSMORE — Wyatt Redeker was perfect on the range at Lone Tree Gun Club. Redeker, from Olpe, broke 25 of 25 clay pigeons, winning the 13-16-year-old division of the fourth annual free youth trapshoot Sept. 18.
Right behind him was Tapanga Turner of LaHarpe, breaking 24 of 25 targets.
Redeker won a divisional prize shotgun last year, so he wasn’t eligible to win one this year. Turner took home the gun.
The top shooter in the 7-12-year-old division was Hunter Kavanagh, Girard. He broke 20 of 25 targets and won a shotgun.
Miles Dice of Buffalo won a shotgun through a drawing of shooters’ names.
Richard Diehl of LaHarpe put the event together four years ago. Diehl and others involved have seen it grow. There were 70 girls and boys participating this year.
The event also provides gun safety and shooting instruction to the young shooters.
The trapshoot is held at Lone Tree Gun Club, owned and operated by Ron and Betty Wrestler.
