A concurrent RESOLUTION

 

TO CONGRATULATE THE FEATHERHORN YOUNG GUNS SHOOTING TEAM OF FEATHERHORN FARMS ON AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO HONOR THEM FOR WINNING THE 2023 GOVERNOR'S CUP.

 

Whereas, the South Carolina General Assembly is pleased to learn that the members of the Featherhorn Young Guns shooting team of Featherhorn Farms took top honors at the 2023 Governor's Cup, held on March 11, 2023, at the National Wild Turkey Federation Palmetto Shooting Complex in Edgefield. The win earned the Featherhorn Young Guns their first-ever Governor's Cup trophy and so made team history; and

 

Whereas, the Governor's Cup is awarded by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources as part of its Scholastic Clay Target Sports Program. As the coveted prize of the event, the cup is awarded to the team with the best cumulative score in the Skeet Open, Trap Open, and Sporting Clays Open. The top three scores from a team in each of the three disciplines determines the Governor's Cup winner each year; and

 

Whereas, the program seeks to teach hunting skills through the safe use of hunting equipment, including firearms and their relationship to hunting situations. Team members can participate in any or all three of the clay target disciplines. Further, this team-based youth-development program seeks to instill life skills such as discipline, safety, teamwork, ethics, self-confidence, and other life values; and

 

Whereas, following the Skeet Open and Trap Open at the 2023 competition, the Featherhorn Young Guns were in third place in the Governor's Cup standings and trailed the leader by nine targets. In the Sporting Clays Open, however, the Featherhorn Young Guns came into their own, overcame the nine target deficit, and eclipsed the leader by eighteen targets; and

 

Whereas, in a sport that demands expertise and accuracy, Head Coach Jimmy Lee and his outstanding assistant coaches maximized their own ability and training in sporting clays to produce a championship-caliber team; and

 

Whereas, the General Assembly values the pride and recognition the Featherhorn Young Guns shooting team has brought to its community, and the members look to hear of the team's continued accomplishments in the days ahead. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

 

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, congratulate the Featherhorn Young Guns shooting team of Featherhorn Farms on an outstanding season and honor them for winning the 2023 Governor's Cup.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Head Coach Jimmy Lee for the Featherhorn Young Guns shooting team.
