Felicitas Fuchs Schwanz: Youngest shooter in the state squad inspires Leupolz!

It's crazy what's happening in Leupolz! The young sports shooter Felicitas Fuchs Schwanz has taken a huge step in her career. After two successful years in the Württemberg state squad, she was accepted into the training squad of the state performance center (LLZ) in Pforzheim. This award shows how highly her achievements are recognized and opens the door to new training opportunities with members of the national squad. Felicitas is the youngest shooter in this selection and will train in small-caliber rifles in the future, especially in the demanding “three-position” discipline (kneeling, lying down, standing). A really exciting moment for the 14-year-old!” Swabian reports about it.
