Jeff's May 2024 Report for Trap & Field
Currently spring shooting is taking off in Oklahoma. This time of year, you can attend a club ATA shoot most any weekend. Also, weekly Big 50s at Tulsa, Oil Capital, Duncan, Red Dirt and the OTSA. The 125th Oklahoma state shoot is just around the corner. Preparations are in motion for another year of increased attendance! Make sure you’ve got it on the calendar, May 28 thru June 2nd. Hope to see you there. The Oklahoma rookie of the year award recipients have been crowned. Congratulations go to Gavin Harbin for Male Rookie of the year and Corely Steward for female. Both of these young shooters posted high scores and had an amazing year in 2023. Also, congrats to Corely for T&F Women’s Rookie of the year. There was an impressive article about her award in the March issue. There were 18 Oklahoma shooters attending the Spring Grand this year at Tucson. Though the shooting was tough to say the least, Oklahoma brought home trophies. Braydon Bliss and Shelby Skaggs were category champions in the preliminary singles. John Nicholson was champion of his yardage group in the preliminary handicap. In the Singles Class Championship Angie Cavett was D class runner up. Shelby Skaggs again was lady I champ in the Doubles Championship. Oklahoma shooters performed very well at the Arizona state shoot. In the first handicap of the week, there were 3 Oklahomans among the top 5 scores, including Dustin Moore breaking 94 and Michael Gates with his 92. Michael shot well again the next day breaking 94 to claim out of state, junior handicap champ. Paula Trayer was out of state. lady II champion in event #11 handicap. In Sunday’s main handicap Rod Savely was out of state. vet runner-up. Ron Bliss had a good shoot, posting many high scores and claiming multiple trophies including out of state, vet singles champion and HOA out of state. vet champion. I hope everyone is breaking good scores and hope to see you over the summer! Jeff Trayer, ATA Delegate
