Dec ATA Report
Shawnee had good weather, and 20 shooters shot their Dec. 6th Derby shoot. Brian Stoa broke the winning Singles score of 47. Randy Hill, Robert Rimer, and Gary Bristol all had 46's. Randy, and Emile Heitland won 1st place in the Handicap with 45's, Brian won 2nd with 44, and Rylei Peery won 3rd with 41. Larry Higgs won the Doubles with 46. We all need to remember Dec. 6th Pearl Harbor Day 1941where the USS Oklahoma Battleship was sunk with 429 lives lost, and a total of 2400 was lost all together. The USS Oklahoma anchor now rests on a memorial site in Oklahoma City.
We have now added Blakley Barnett to the 2020 Oklahoma State Trap Team, Lady 1 with an average of 93.09. In the ATA printout Blakley was listed under Junior and should have been under Lady 1. Congratulations Blakley! Please feel free to call me if you have any questions on the State Team. Almost every year there are some wrong listings. Most are caught, and corrected, but some can only be caught if you contact me.
Ada's Dec. 1st Tues. shoot was a 4-way tie for 1st place. Randy Farmer, Vickie Farmer, Randy Hill, and Austin Palmer all had 42's. Their Dec. 8th shoot was a tie between Randy Farmer, and Randy Hill with 43's.
Wade Drennan of Ada passed away on Nov. 3rd at the age of 79, due to complications of the Corna Virus. Wade attended Gun Smith School at Murray State College in Tishamingo, OK. A lot of his time was devoted to instructing the youth shooters. Our condolences go out to his family.
