Four teenage athletes from the Apple Valley Gun Club took home a second-place trophy from this year's Scholastic Action Shooting national championship in the Rimfire Optic division.
In this competition, participants use a semi-automatic .22 pistol with a red dot optic to shoot steel targets at set distances. They are scored on both accuracy and speed.
The High Desert shooters was the only team to represent California at the Ohio competition. Coach Ryan Gunn says he wasn't expecting the team to do so well, given there were 2,800 registered competitors, and some rimfire optic teams had more than 10 shooters to the Apple Valley team's four.
He told the Daily Press that he and ***** istant coach Jake Morrison are proud of how each High Desert shooter did.
"They competed against shooters with world record ***** les," Gunn said. "Our team did an impressive job keeping up. We had a great time out there."
