A Season to Remember: Mambas Soar at Nationals
The Etowah Valley Mambas youth shooting team recently returned from Nationals in Marengo, Ohio, and they didn’t just show up, they stood out. Competing against 333 teams and nearly 3,800 shooters from across the country, the Mambas brought home an incredible 4th place finish overall.
It was the kind of performance that shows what this program is made of: grit, focus, and community. Even though the season has ended, the impact will carry forward for years to come for these athletes and for the next generation of shooters. See what it means to be a Mamba.
