As I get older I have realized sometimes things come together for a reason. Hopefully he enjoyed it as much as you.

The Grand is an amazing experience, it is special that you could enjoy it with your son. You both will remember it forever. I remember driving through the first time in awe of the 3.5 mile trap line. Looks like your son has his eye on a Championship trophy.

Great job and great story!! Congrats!!!!

Saegertown is a great club Sean, and we wish we could shoot with you guys more often!! The little guy has his eyes on Kolars! He demoed one and ink dotted 23 targets. He really has his heart set on one...Some day! In the meantime, the kid really likes his BT100. I found a Ljutic that felt excellent, but after getting some info about my current shotgun, I better keep it! Ask Dad about that story!

It was a dream come true to get to the 2021 Grand! When my son won the Washington State Sub Jr Championship, we knew we had to make every effort to get him there to compete in the Champion of Champions. The horrible wildfires in the PNW made for a lot of extra shifts at work, generating some extra $$ on the paycheck. SSP Eyewear provided the best shooting glasses and every color lens imaginable to my son to make sure he was set for the best sight picture at the targets. Thanks Phillips Gunsmithing for replacing a top lever spring in my sons shotgun for a very fair price, in such a short time. There are also some very special people in the world that help out of the goodness of their hearts. I never asked for anything, but some private sponsors made getting to Sparta a sure thing for my son, and I full heartedly thank them. The good Lord just seemed to make everything fall in place to be able to go with a short time window to plan it out. My son, who was amazed at the whole environment (so was I) of the Grand, saved his best score ever for the Champion Of Champions. He destroyed 95/100, and made us all very proud. He followed that up with a 187/200 in the CTC. The ATA and the WSC ran like a clock. To say the Grand was fun is a vast understatement. We enjoyed every second. From the White Flyer fireworks show, to having a rough go in the Handi, (penalty yardage) we loved every second of Grand week! View attachment 1762085 View attachment 1762086 View attachment 1762087

Great shooting at an early age. Who knows what his future will be
Congrats
