Greetings Shooters!

If you missed the 24th annual Hall of Fame Shoot and Banquet, honoring Jack Schumpert, and his induction into the FTA Hall of Fame, you missed out on beautiful targets, delicious food, and an overall great time! The weather cooperated for the most part by providing moderate temperatures, although, many of us would have preferred the cloud cover to be a little less dense.

Chef Rob delivered a wonderful meal as promised and plenty of laughs were to be had!

I'd like to thank the Silver Dollar and it's staff for having the facility in top notch shape. The high scores all weekend were a reflection of their hard work! Some notables were:

Event #1 Singles:

Carl Chadwell - 100
Cody Meredith - 99
Debbie Ohye Neilson - 99

Event #2 Handicap:

George Pappas - 98
Glen Lonneman - 96

Event #3 Singles:

Alex Riera - 199
Joe Needham - 199
Jack Schumpert - 198

Event #4 Doubles:

Rick Manning - 99

Event #5 Handicap:

Jeff Walkowiak - 97
Alex Riera - 97
Mike Reynolds - 96
Jake Hooper - 96
