The White County Farm Bureau held its 16th Annual Pistol Shoot Event at the Carmi Rifle Club on Saturday, July 11. 17 shooters participated in this year’s event, which raised funds to support collegiate scholarships for the Foundation.

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.

In this year’s competition, Dawson Weber of Carmi, IL led the Adult Division with a total time of 77.78 seconds. Second place went to Jeff Bohleber of Carmi, IL with a time of 81.33 seconds. Les Cline of Cisne, IL finished third with a total time of 84.92 seconds. In the Youth Division, Kayla Wuornos of Broughton, IL finished first with a time of 94.40 seconds. Weston Cline of Cisne, IL finished second with a time of 139.59 seconds.

Dawson Weber and Kayla Wuornos were each awarded a brick of .22 ammunition and a White County Farm Bureau hat for finishing first in each division.

All of the shooters were given one ticket to the grand prize drawing of a Browning Buckmark target pistol. The top three shooters in each division were given extra chances. Kayla Wuronos was the winner of the pistol drawing. The pistol was sponsored by Red’s Recoil Enterprises, LLC in Norris City, IL.

ATF is proposing major updates to Form 4473 (Fi****ms Transaction Record) and its regulations. The changes would:
• Streamline identity and residency verification
• Extend the validity period of NICS background checks
• Clarify background check exceptions
• Allow electronic notices, electronic forms, auto-population, and digital attachments

These updates modernize the process, reduce administrative burdens on FFLs and law-abiding customers, and align regulations with current law while keeping strong safeguards in place. Read the proposal and comment at https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/05/08/2026-09182/revising-firearms-transaction-record-form-4473.
