​November 2024

October has come to a close, as has registered trapshooting in Utah.

Our only shoot was a one-day event at the Ogden Gun Club. The shoot had a good turnout, with about 40 people. Gun club management at Ogden always works hard to provide good machines, targets, and help. 

Weather-wise, September and October are two of the best months to shoot in Utah. Why we don’t get a better turnout at shoots this time of year escapes me.

To my surprise, as I pulled into the parking lot, Scott Obenchain, AKA “Mister Pink,” from Colorado, pulled in behind me. He told me he was on a road construction project in Wyoming, and when he heard there was a shoot relatively close, he came to support the club. I was lucky enough to shoot with him in all three events. The man is impressive! He ran the hundred doubles and singles, as well as anyone I have ever seen! Being on the same squad with that caliber of shooter was fun.  

In the handicap, new ATA member Haedyn Buchanan put on quite a show by breaking 98 in her first-ever ATA event. Fellow squad member Tayler Lewis broke a 97. Excellent shooting, ladies.

When you read this article, the Nevada State Shoot will also be in the books. The next shoot on the horizon is the Autumn Grand in Tucson. Hopefully, I will see you there.
