Stefan leuker wins first german championship title

He deserves it", says dusel.
The luck was topped by the victory with the team: the responsible persons put stefan leuker, le roy dusel and andreas geuther (all bavaria effeltrich) on the team.
In the competition small bore (KK) 3×40 of the juniors A there was also a single success: andreas geuther became third with 1159 rings and a final result of 96.4 rings.
Together with his teammates michael janker and leroy dusel he crowned his individual success with the team title. The young talents dusel, geuther and janker also proved to have strong nerves in the air rifle discipline and secured the gold medal in the juniors’ competition with 1756 rings. Leroy dusel won a gold medal on the last day of the junior competition in the team with alexander rainer and michael janker in the KK 3×20.
