July 2024,
It is officially the heart of trap shooting season here in Utah. The Western Grand has come and gone, and by the time you read this, the State Shoot will also be gone. The Western Zone and Fiesta Days are still on the horizon. The State Shoot, Western Zone, and Fiesta Days are all held at Spanish Fork this year.
The Western Grand had shooters from 24 states (east coast to west coast), one Canadian Province, and Australia. Basically a great showing from around the world. All three Championship events were won with lone perfect scores, unfortunately none from Utah.
As usual, Sean and Stacy Hawley did their fabulous job and made sure everyone enjoyed themselves. The weather was generally good, but as usual, afternoon thunderstorms developed, and the resulting wind played havoc with the targets.
A highlight on my squad was that John Vosnos shot at and broke his 75,000th doubles targets. Fellow squad mate Charlie Long presented John with his attainment pin. As a side note, Charlie has 462,100 doubles targets. A “mere child” receiving his pin from the “seasoned pro.”
The Utah State shoot just ended. I will give a few highlights and do a much more in-depth story next month.
The State Singles Champ is Shalako Gunter with the lone 199.
State Doubles Champ is Shalako Gunter with the lone 99.
State Handicap Champ is Kooper Freston with the lone 97.
State HAA and HOA Champ is Sean Hawley with 387 and 1263, respectively.
A preview of pictures for next month, Jackie Love with her dog Bo.
