Hi everyone. I want to start out by correcting another mistake I made with the 2025 Illinois All-State team. The mistake was with the Veterans team. The same five gentlemen remain on the team, but their order needs to be corrected. The correct order is 1) Brian Hezel 93.48, 2) Dan Staker 93.17, 3) Mike Hathaway 92.9, 4) Matt Nicol 92.14, 5) Harvey Schultz 91.91. I apologize to all concerned.
I noticed that Illinois has 3 Mega Target Members from the last target season. Mike Dennis, Leland Hassler and Mike Westjohn all shot more than 20,000 targets last year. Congrats guys. We all admire you for your stamina and dedication. I have said this before, if any of you would like to adopt me and take me shooting, I would really appreciate it.
I want to invite all of you to come and shoot at the Illinois State Shoot this year. This will be our 150th State shoot and we are planning on making it our best yet. Come and be a part of history.
Shoot well and support your local club.
Bill Duncan, ATA Delegate
