Repairs will be completed by DNR staff, and the trail will be reopened as

Sorahan how to shoot.
Wiese taught Sorahan how to shoot with the discipline he
learned as a decorated member of the U.S. Marine Corps.
“She has natural talent,” he said. “She doesn’t have any bad
habits. She just doesn’t miss.”
Sorahan didn’t miss much last year when she finished second in the 20-
21 yard individual handicap division at the Cornhusker Trapshoot.
On that night back in the fourth grade, Sorahan won in a drawing a
membership into the Ducks Unlimited Green Wings program for youth
shooters. That’s when Wiese took her under his wing.
Sorahan didn’t care that there were few girls her age shooting. “It’s
something a lot of girls didn’t do at the time, so it was something, like the
boys, I could do,” she said.

“It’s not about winning; it’s about shooting against people
and making them think they have to be better than you.”
Sorahan has a lifetime of trapshooting to look forward to now.
“That’s another reason that I like to shoot trap,” she said.
“You can’t play basketball your whole life, but you can shoot

And at least two more Cornhusker Trapshoots.

The organization, founded in 2006, began presenting recreational

Wes Higgins, a U.S. Army veteran and co-founder of VO, said the idea
came from the usual talk he and his soldiers shared about better times
upon their return home.
“We all made promises to get together when we made it
back,” said Higgins. ”Some guys got hurt and a few didn’t
make it, so we just wanted to honor them by continuing the
freedoms we fought for.”
Higgins and Cody Hirt, another co-founder of VO, witnessed the effects

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks
Management Areas
MALTA, Mont. --(Ammoland.com)- Antler hunters planning to head
MAY 02, 2011 03:38P.M.
to west-central Montana Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) on
opening day this spring should note a new opening time of noon.
Antler Hunters Should Note Noon Opening on Wildlife
Management Areas
There are three wildlife management areas in west-central Montana that
are antler-hunting destinations with regularly scheduled openings on
May 15: Blackfoot-Clearwater near Seeley Lake, Threemile in the
Bitterroot Valley and Spotted Dog near Garrison.
Some of these WMAs have traditionally opened at midnight on May 15,
but the FWP Commission recently enacted regulations that require all
Montana WMAs with winter closures to reopen at noon to help with
consistency and public safety.
Dave Dziak, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Region 2 WMA manager,
noted that even after these areas open, some roads are likely to remain
closed until muddy road conditions improve.
Some Montana WMAs are open year-round, but many are closed during
the winter months to protect wildlife from disturbance on their winter
range. In addition to these three antler-hunting destinations, several

other wildlife management areas in west-central Montana and many
Areas
others across the state do not open until noon on May 15.
Please check with your local FWP office or FWP’s website at fwp.mt.gov
and look under “Habitat” and then “Wildlife Management Areas” for
specific opening dates.

Rains Threaten DPMS-Bushnell
Last year’s Blue Ridge Mountain was also shortened due to inclement
Blue Ridge Mountain 3-Gun
weather, to the point no winners were declared.
MAY 02, 2011 03:30P.M.
However, the entire field had shot at least eight of ten stages this year, so
scores were normalized and it was U.S. AMU’s Daniel Horner that
Rains Threaten DPMS-Bushnell Blue Ridge Mountain 3-Gun
emerged for the overall and Tactical Optics victory. For Horner, the win
comes on the heels of a 2nd place finish at Superstition. The Blue Ridge
win, a nearly 90-point victory over eight stages, emphatically stated that
Horner (770.5103) is the most dominating shooter in the sport on
natural terrain courses of fire, and possibly any type of stage design.
Remington’s Robby Johnson (683.9144) took second in Tactical Optics,
followed by Noveske’s Rob Romero (673.5116), Rustin Bernskoetter
(662.9975) and Caspian’s Bruce Piatt (647.1356).
In Open, Clint Upchurch continued his remarkable run, winning his
fourth consecutive division title by holding off a strong performance by
SureFire’s Mike Voigt (742.8257). While Voigt won four of the eight
stages, a slip on stage two’s long-range rifle steel arguably decided the
match, as Upchurch’s lead on stage two mirrored his overall point lead
over Voigt.
DPMS’ James Darst (701.1839) narrowly edged out Don Bednorz
U.S. AMU’s Daniel Horner that emerged for the overall and Tactical
(694.4393), while Team Rockcastle’s Tony Holmes (675.4203) took fifth.
Optics victory.
In Tactical Irons, Kelly Neal (761.7459) picked up his 2nd consecutive
division win by a comfortable margin. James Casanova (702.677) placed
second, followed by Brian McKibben (693.6945), Hornady’s Jeff
Cramblit (690.4002) and Spike Tactical’s Cameron Thompson
(596.9331).
Heavy Metal saw an interesting battle as SureFire’s Barry Dueck
(782.3063) jumped divisions from Heavy Metal Optics (not recognized
at Blue Ridge) and cruised to his first division win since last Fall’s Ozark
match. Upstart Bryan Ray (693.0936) placed second, followed by Joe
Satterfield (663.663), Maurice Griffin (649.8307) and J.J. Johnson
(614.9773).
Horner’s win will vault the Army shooter up the 3GN leader board from
17th place all the way to 2nd behind Upchurch, who remains the only
competitor with a perfect score of 300. However, with Horner’s second
win, it seems only a matter of time before he joins Upchurch atop the
3 Gun Nation
3GN standings.
