The national league utilizes decimal scoring across a 60-shot standing air rifle course, with each team’s top four individual shooter totals combining for the final score.
Karhys Herbert led the way for Mountain Home with an impressive team-high score of 558.6. Rounding out the scoring lineup for the Bomber marksmanship team were Aspen Douglas, Aaron Hale and Aldyn Buterbaugh (526.2). Eldorado, coached by James Koerber in the JROTC Champions Division, held the advantage behind match-leader Jamie Spoonamore’s 594.0 performance.
Coached by Chief Jason M. Williams, the local cadets continue to build on technical discipline and team camaraderie as they balance national virtual league competition with top-tier regional invitationals.
