Besides competing against each other for placings, shooters are also competing for a purple, blue, red or white ribbon. Scoring requirements to receive a purple ribbon are difficult.

Linke; precision 22 rifle senior division – J. Linke; Air Pistol junior division – M.Terkildsen; and Air Pistol senior division – Ell. Ohlrogge.
Finally, in the senior division, shooters have the opportunity to qualify for a national team in air pistol, air rifle, 22 rifle or archery. The top shooters at the State Shoot are chosen for the national team. In the air pistol discipline, the qualifying scores are a combination of the slow fire competition, the rapid fire and a silhouette competition. Ell. Ohlrogge and J. Linke made the four-member National Air Pistol team for South Dakota.
Sanborn County Coach Art Kneen was chosen as the coach for the South Dakota Air Pistol team.
The National Shoot will be held June 24-28 in Grand Island, Neb.
