Jeff's July Report for Trap & Field
Currently we are in full swing of final preparations for our state shoot. As you read this article however, the Oklahoma state shoot is in the books. Hopefully many of you attended and shot well. I’m sure you noticed and enjoyed the many improvements made over the past year: 14 semi loads of gravel have been brought in and spread over the drive, RV sites and around the club house. Lights over one trap field were installed, (more to come). The south side of our club house has been beautified with flowers and mulching. Many new trees have been planted down the line. All gun racks and gear shelves have been replaced with new benches with gear shelves and new gun racks. All of these improvements are the fruit of very had working volunteers. Also, plans are in the works for more lights and 2 new/added trap fields! Several Oklahoma shooters went to the Louisiana state shoot, looks like we brought home some of the OS trophies. Billy Pierce was long yardage champion in the preliminary handicap. Steve Barnett was AA Champion after prevailing in shoot off in the preliminary singles and Randy Hill was Class C singles champion singles championship event. One Saturday this month we had the pleasure to attend a shoot at the Clinton Gun Club. I was impressed with the clean and organized appearance of the entire club grounds. They have 4 traps all facing North and a very nice open background. Target presentation was just awesome! Some champions of the day were: Richard Coit B class singles, Kaden Kennedy C class singles and Paula Trayer D class singles. In the 200 handicap event, Kuper Schneberger was short yardage champion, Kaden Waldrop was mid yardage and overall champion breaking 188. OTSA held their Doubles Marathon. Nathan Lemke was overall champion breaking 478. Congratulations to Paula Trayer on attaining 25,000 singles targets. And to Brayden Bliss attaining 25,000 handicap targets. See at the next trapshoot!
