Records Fall, Champions Crowned at Still Target Championship

By Ammoland Editor Joe Evans

EDGEFIELD, S.C. -(Ammoland.com)- After an exciting weekend of shooting during the 2017 National Wild Turkey Federation Still Target Championship in Edgefield, champions were crowned in six divisions, and three competitors came away holding new world records.

“The World Still Target Championship again proved to be about much more than crowning a new champion,” said Dave Mahlke, NWTF Senior VP of Volunteer Relations and Fundraising. “It is about friends, family and fellowship, and each year that shows more and more.”

Joseph Sloan, who has been shooting since he started hunting with his dad at age five, shattered the previous record of 63 in the 12-gauge Open Class, shooting an 80. Sloan was shooting 12-gauge Winchester Long Beard XR #6 out of a custom bolt-action Savage with an Indian Creek choke.

The 20-Gauge Hunter Class record was the second to fall. Cody Waters broke the previous record of 23 by shooting a 35. Waters, the 2016 champion in the 20-Gauge Hunter Class, was shooting 20-gauge Winchester Long Beard XR #6, out of a Remington 870 with a JEBS Headhunter choke.
