Week 8 had a dash more excitement than the previous two weeks in the New Shooter League. The second and third place teams both won their matches, with the latter defeating the current first place team in the New Shooter League. Several teams dropped out of the top 10, and new ones joined. Multiple teams in the top spots are separated by just a few points or less. The Air Pistol League held steady with the top four teams all winning their matches.
