Join us for the 2025 Illinois State Shoot! View Program
Members and friends of the ISTA, as you know, we are working on a fundraising initiative to raise money to build a "Hall of Fame" addition to our building at the Brittany Shooting Park. ISTA members, former and present as well as family members and friends can purchase a personalized, engraved brick paver that will be used to build a sidewalk in front of the Hall of Fame building entrance. Show your support of our organization, recognize your local club, or purchase a brick to remember a past shooter or accomplishment, that everyone will be able to see for years to come.

Hi everyone. You can tell it is spring time in Illinois. Not only have the swallows returned to Capistrano, but shooters have also reached several milestones. John Nord has shot 50,000 Singles and Jerry Hasler has shot 75,000 Singles. Pat Jarnagin has shot 25,000 Handicap targets and Mike Dennis has shot 100,000 Doubles. Congratulations to all of you.
Illinois shooters have been winning at early state shoots. At the Florida State Shoot, Mike Hathaway won the preliminary Handicap event. At the Arizona State Shoot, Paul Jacobs won the Veteran category in the Handicap Championship. Ron Fearheiley won the Veteran category in both the Singles Championship and the HAA.
I received a phone call a few days ago that really saddened me. Ron Cox, Sr. from Browning, IL has passed. For as long as I have been trapshooting in Illinois, Ron has always been there. In a way, he has been the foundation of my trapshooting house. He was never a great shot, but he showed up and did
