In the final Week of the Camas Prairie Trapshooting Association Leagues, some clubs continued to have gusty winds while others were flooded. In Bonners Ferry, temperatures reached a whopping 27 degrees, but the sun was shining, warming the tarmac to a tolerable temperature. Twenty-seven participants joined us this week. Ron Campbell, Dustin Myers, and Joe Campbell each got a perfect score of 25/25. Another junior also recorded a first-time perfect score: Judah Roffler shot his first-ever 25 straight targets. Bonners Ferry logged a 75/75 for the week. This moved the Club to 12th place in the final standings, higher than its highest finish in over a decade.
