    I saw that. Pretty cool story. She has a red Shelby Cobra kit car that she built for the ground up. Makes one proud.

    You beat me to it! She said in an interview that she has a goal now to hit 100 of 100 next time.

    She's got some game! It's also good to see the shooting sports represented and get some national/international mention. Every little bit helps. Good for her.
