Greetings Indiana Shooters!
I hope everyone that was able to make it to the Grand American this year had an enjoyable and successful shoot. It always seems to go by too fast for me, but I must say the weather we enjoyed the last few days of Grand week was outstanding. Kudos to everyone at the ATA for putting on such a fantastic shoot. As always, it’s a pleasure to see so many Indiana shooters at the top of the leaderboard each event and to hear so many Indiana names called for shootoffs each evening. Congratulations to all the Indiana shooters that took home trophies from this year’s Grand American!
I also want to congratulate those that won trophies at the ATA Central Zone shoot and express my appreciation to Evansville Gun Club for once again being a great host site for the Central Zone. This is always a fun crowd at Evansville and I encourage everyone to plan to be there next year. The ATA Central Zone shoot next year will be July 28-30, 2023, which means you can go straight there from the Indiana State Shoot which is July 18-23, then straight to the Grand American a few days later, held August 3-13, 2023.
I want to thank all Indiana shooters for making me their ATA Delegate these several years. It is humbling and an esteemed honor to announce, in case you haven’t heard, I have been elected by my fellow Central Zone ATA Delegates to represent the Central Zone as Vice-President of the ATA Executive Committee. I certainly look forward to this new role and welcome the opportunity to serve this organization that has provided so much to me the past 27 years of shooting ATA trap. I will continue to be your ATA Delegate for Indiana and will maintain an active role at the Indiana State Shoot.
Don’t hesitate to let me know if you need anything or would like to have anything included in this article for Indiana. You can contact me here.
