Hello Shooters!
The Spring Grand just finished in Tucson, AZ, and a few shooters stood out among the crowd! It sounds like it was kind of a bummer.. Going down to Arizona to escape the cold, just to get snowed on down there as well ha! Elise Baker went down for the first time and took home 7 trophies! Randy Miller won the Pleasant Valley Handicap event with a 98 and Adam Fabisiak was the high score in the Prescott Handicap with a 97. His son, Kyle, won the Sub Junior Champ in Handicap the following day!
The IL Hall of Fame building is ready to be built! We are just looking for donations to get the process rolling. We are trying to reach $130,000 and have quite a ways to go. Any donation will help! If you haven't seen the floor plan in the ISTA building at Brittany, we are going to have an addition to the ISTA building for the Hall of Fame, as well as our trophy room. That should help with picking up trophies at the end of the day.
If you missed the Northern Zone shoot at Downer's Grove, you can still make the Central Zone in Peoria or the Southern Zone in Rend Lake. Both shoots will be held on Memorial Day weekend (May 25 & 26). Remember, you do have to shoot all 400 targets at a zone shoot to qualify for the state team. Our state shoot will be held June 8-16. The 8 and 9 will be our AIM state shoot, the 10 will be the marathon day to get any targets in that you are short for penalties, and the 11-16 will be the main week of the shoot. If you are wanting to camp, I do have a large wait list, but contact me at
