Colton Kirby Wins AIM Class Championship

Macon County High School senior trap team member Colton Kirby posted a 198/200 to win the 2013 AIM/ATA Class B Individual State Championship title. 

Colton, a four year member of the trap team, posted a career best score in winning the title.  The win didn’t come easy for Colton as he found himself tied with Lincoln County’s Evan Buck at the end of the regulation shoot.  In case of ties, the shooters meet again in a shoot off to determine the champion.  In the shoot off, Colton hit 23 of 25 birds defeating Buck by 1 bird to win the state title.  In addition to the title, Colton also scored his first 100 straight dead targets in a competition.
