Hi everyone. I want to start out with John Stegler. He reached the 25,000 target milestone in both Singles and Handicap. Nice shooting, John.
Frank Payne and Lauren Dunn were elected to the ISTA Hall of Fame. I have known and shot with both of these shooters and I can tell you they are well deserving of this honor. Congratulations to you both. I can't wait till June when they are inducted.
I have some exciting news about a new shoot. For several years Brittany Shooting Park had a telephonic shoot in April with a club in Texas. It was called the Illinois-Texas Challenge. Through some hard work and cooperation, the shoot has been expanded to six clubs. Brittany, two in Texas, and one each in Missouri, Kansas and Iowa. The really exciting thing about this is if we have 450 or more shooters participate, this becomes a point shoot. The shoot will be held on April 19, 20 and 21. Watch for the ad in Trap and Field for the exact clubs where you can go to shoot.
I was sad to hear that another Illinois shooter has passed. Daryl Fornoff was from Havana, IL and shot all over the Central Zone of our state as well as many other places too. Daryl was a really good guy and will be missed by all his friends and family.
I am writing this in January and the weather across the country has been terrible. Hang in there. Spring is just around the corner. Shoot well and support your local club.
