Hi everyone. Shooting here in Illinois has not picked up yet. But down in the south, Illinois shooters are doing well at major shoots. At the Spring Grand, in Arizonia, Tom Fester was second in the Senior Veteran category in both the Singles and Handicap Championships. At the Southern Grand, in Florida, Ian Lawrence was second in the Singles Championship and won HOA. Tony Fortino won the HAA Championship. Tom Fester won the Senior Veteran Handicap Championship and Steve Terzo won the Class B Doubles Championship. Great shooting all of you!
Now that shooting is starting to pick up in the south, we are starting to reach milestones again in shooting careers. Both John Nord and Brenda Dennis have reached 50,000 Handicap targets. Congratulations. Dedication is the first step to championships.
By the time you read this, shooting will be going full bore in Illinois. Remember, set goals, be relentless and have fun. Shoot well and support your local clubs.
