Paula and I were able to spend a couple of months in Arizona this winter. Casa Grande holds a 5 day shoot they call the “Spring Grand warm up” the week before the Spring Grand in Tucson. We enjoyed shooting there. We found many new friends, good people and a well managed club. The green targets were a unique experience and remarkably visible against the background.
When we arrived on Friday, David Bacon and Doc Koper were already going strong. Bacon was champion in his class in Friday’s singles and again in Sunday’s doubles. Koper was champion of his yardage group on Saturday with 93. At the Spring Grand 23 Oklahomans attended, bringing home 35 trophies! Here are a few highlights: Clay Laughlin and Brayden Bliss both shot well and brought home most all of the Junior Gold Trophies. Second year ATA shooter Brody Pryor earned 2 Sub Junior Champion trophies. Stuart Hart was Sub Vet Champion in Event #18 Handicap. After breaking 199 in the Singles Championship, Pat Stacey prevailed after 7 boxes of shoot off, winning AAA RU. John Nicholson was victor in his shoot off for Class C HOA champion. Tad Nicholson crushed 99 in the main event Sunday, finishing with 3rd place.
You can see all scores and trophy winners at shootscoreboard.com. The Oklahoma State shoot is now just around the corner, May 30th thru June 4th. Hope to see you all there! Jeff Trayer, ATA Delegate
