Spokane Olympian gets to the roots of good shooting
SHOOTING -- Amanda Furrer, 23, flew into town this week to be with family and celebrate her silver medal from last weekend -- a performance that won her a berth on the U.S.Women's World Championship Shooting Team.
- Two years ago Furrer won a similar match at Fort Benning, Georgia, to make the U.S. Olympic Shooting Team.
Furrer's dad, Michael, who still coaches the Spokane Junior Rifle Team where Amanda got her start, snapped this photo of Amanda giving her niece and nephews a few pointers with the ol' Daisy BB gun in the family's back yard.
I'll bet that Michael has taken the little kids over to the garage in the background to show them the two dimples in the door where Amanda missed the target and backstop by two feet with her first two shots with a pellet gun when she was their age.
I'm also betting that Michael Furrer NEVER repairs those dents.
