We would like to extend my congratulations to the ATA & MTA for putting on a fine shoot. Although, the shoot numbers were down 18%, overall competiton was first class. The shoot ran timely with little of no hold ups. The transition from shooting to the shoot offs was nearly flawless. The trap kids kept the traps filled and the scoring correct.
Myself and three fellow Wisconsinites Mike Thomas, Steve Wolf and Tom Hoppe shot the Championship targets held on Sunday and Monday. Mike Thomas - 2008 Central Grand Singles Champion ran the 200 singles and won the shoot off with a perfect 25 straight. It was Mike's first two hundred singles and his first national title. Congrads Mike you did it! Tom Hoppe shot off for runner up in the A class singles with a 197 and the C class doubles championship. Although, Tom didn't win his shoot offs he showed his fine shooting abilties using his new Ceasar Guerini shotgun. We expect Tom to do very well at our state shoot in July!
We want to thank the locals in ( Jackson) who were extremely cordial to us and made our stay worth while. Kudos to the fine ladies who ran the food service at hte MTA. It was a good selection in food and priced accordingly! We have every expectation in returning next year. Thanks again for a job well done!
