I had the honor of going to the HOF Inductee Ceremony at Legendary Freedom Hall in Louisville tonight with my shooting buddy, Bill Blackburn. Nora, Randall Cobb ( UK Football & NFL), Tayshaun Prince (UK Basketball, NBA), & Carole Liedtke (Gymnastics, Gymnastics Coach, & International Judge) were inducted. I was thrilled to see Nora, a great friend (IMHO The First Lady of Trapshooting) recognized for her career accomplishments. As always, she was so gracious during her acceptance speech, it was a real privilege to be there to enjoy the moment with Nora and her husband, Randy (a previous All American Trapshooter).
It was a special evening seeing the four inductees inducted into the HOF.
My congratulations to Nora Martin Ross, KY HOF Inductee 2025!

Wow, what a class of inductees. Randall Cobb is from nearby Alcoa, went on the a great career mostly with Green Bay. Tayshaun played for Tubby at UK, I still remember him knocking 5 three's in a row (I think) against the Tar Heels, then on the NBA. Nora, I had the pleasure to camp next to her for many years at Berea and watched her shoot a ton.

Nora was one of most intense, tough competitors to ever pull a trigger. We have some great lady shooters now, but I think they will be chasing Nora's records for a long time. I believe she (or Randy) acknowledged that Nora, over the years, had won the Ladies Trophy for each event during Grand Week. I'm proud to call her and Randy friends.

In addition to being a great shooter, Nora has the mind of a steel trap,she doesn't forget anything.
