The White County Farm Bureau held its 16th Annual Pistol Shoot Event at the Carmi Rifle Club on Saturday. Seventeen shooters participated in this year’s event, which raised funds to support the Foundation’s collegiate scholarships. This year’s event was a “Speed Steel” challenge, where shooters had to work their way through six different stages, with five steel targets each. Individuals shot five relays at each stage for a total of 150 targets shot. Time was kept for each relay, with the slowest relay time at each stage being dropped. The remaining times were added together. The lowest overall time won the competition. The White County Farm Bureau would like to sincerely thank the volunteers of the Carmi Rifle Club, the volunteers of the Farm Bureau, our participating shooters, and the 2026 sponsors of the Pistol Shoot.
