Shooters take aim at Saturday to start winter season - The more things change, the more they appear to stay the same for the top marksmanship programs in DODEA-Europe. That included last year’s switch to remote-only competition because of the coronavirus pandemic. With basketball and wrestling currently on hold because of COVID-19 protocols, marksmanship starts up Saturday only because it can be conducted at separate sites around Europe. And it would be a surprise if Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern aren’t the ones fighting it out for the title again. The Panthers have won eight straight DODEA-Europe titles. The Raiders have finished second the last two years. Click here to read the complete article.
