Rick , That is one of the few 100 straight pin that I have . I also think it was one of the nicest. I wish we still could get them, but the mfg. when out of business quite some time ago. Thanks for posting.

I've seen those Thunderbirds and they are very nice pins. My favorite one though is my first one, Missouri state shoot and in the rain for the whole hundred. John
Event number 7 at last year's Grand American. I wear that one on my hat proudly. Even at that it was a tie with 3 other's in C Class and a 3 day carry over. I won by luck.
In 1990 Trap and Field gave away special 100 srtaight pins for 100 straights in handicap only , got one .Would like to know how many they gave out ? 1990 Vandalia Handicap Champion Jeff Prigge
Rick and Jack, the Griz pin from Kalispell is also my favorite along with a Herman Firecracker Peterson pin from somewhere. Actually ATA President Herman Peterson was the guy who punched my first ever Handicap Earn and Zip Eaton punched my card the first time I reached the 27. By the way Rick a group of good guys are now running that club and they hold good shoots.
Mike, The firecracker pin is given out to anyone that breaks a 100 in any of the championship events at the Montana State shoot. As secretary of the State, it is now my job to make sure that you get one when you do. ONLY ONE.

BigM, I like the train.
Edit,
Mike, here is that pin that you were talking about. The Peterson "Firecracker" pin
And I know that the guys in Kalispell are good guys. LOL
My first one. It wasn't the Grand or even a state shoot, it was at the local club registered shoot with friends on the same squad. ( Otter Creek Sportsman Club in Cedar Rapids Iowa).
I think it is always great when you run a 100 straight. Maybe a little better when it is won in a shoot off. I would say the first one is always remembered. Ray
What are you guys talking about?????? A 100 what?? I must be on the wrong web site again...............Y'all have a great day.
