Fellow WV Shooters Sandy and her Husband Lonnie Spencer sent this Photograph of what we shot in during the Grand American last year, yikes!!
Every year I pledge to practice during the winter off season as the pictures suggest Karen Denbigh, John Elliott and Bill Bishop didn't let a little rain dampen their practice today as they shot at Point Pleasant Gun Club.
Marshall County Hunting & Fishing Club has received a $5,000.00 grant from the ATA to purchase a new pat trap. Rob Ingram submitted the application. The ATA gave out $25,000.00 in gun club grants this year. The complete list of this years' recipients follows:
Wisconsin Trapshooting Association, WI $5,000
Mark Isner's story on the WV results at the Grand American tells how we shot, I thought I would tell the rest of the story in pictures.
August 19, 2012
I just returned from the 2012 Grand American World Trapshooting Championships and want to mention a few accomplishments of West Virginia shooters. Also, the weather was the coolest I can remember. We only had one day of bad rain storms over the entire shoot and when it came, it was a dandy.
Another 100,000 reasons to make the Grand this year. Click on the link below to read the ATA's latest press release.
No, Mark Isner didn't win the $100,000.00 Grand American Challenge but the 2012 Hall of Fame inductee did smash his 100,000th singles target at the Southern Grand on March 12, 2012.
Pat Swartz, standing in the shadow of a palm tree, smashed his 100,000th target
today and from the picture is looks like sunny Florida. Pat, who started registering targets in 1979, is close in handicap at almost 90,000 and doubles over 95,000. Pat has placed on the State Team several times and won among others several trophies at the State Shoot.
