Homewood Police Officer Nathan Lane participates in a shooting competitionHomewood police officers Nathan Lane and John Springfield represented Homewood in a shooting competition in Paulding County Georgia in August. The duo competed against 35 officers, troopers, deputies and agents at the event.
The competition benefitted Shoot for the Horizon, a nonprofit organization that raises funds for children with special needs and builds special parks and facilities for them.
“Competition was very steep; there were 12 shooters that were of very high skill level,” Lane said.
Each of the three shooting events was based on speed and accuracy. Lane won two of the three events in the Speed Plates and the Head-to-Head dueling tree courses.
The two officers said they are thankful for the opportunity that allowed them to help raise about $3,500 for Shoot for the Horizon, Lane said.
