All-American Ray Stafford, for the second consecutive event, carded the lone collect a trophy.) Senior vet Allen Tomnitz missed just
the second bird of his last pair, Two-year shooter and Class A winner Don Huffaker was delighted to collect his first Satellite Grand trophy after entering his career-best doubles score of 99. "I just can't believe it," exclaimed Don. "My best score before today was 94." Henry Shaper needed one perfect shootoff round over Bill Myers after the two deadlocked with 95 apiece for the Class B award. The two are often squadmates, and both are members of the Dallas Gun Club. Sub-junior All-Americans Matthew Drexler and Steven Urich, with 94 apiece, needed 14 extra rounds before Matt earned their age-group trophy. The two seemed intent on shooting through the night until Steven dutched the first pair of the final round. New ATA member Joe Blow wasn't in contention for a trophy, but he was proud of his 92 anyway. At his first registered shoot, Joe was competing with a new K-80 he had just bought on Tuesday. "I love this gun already," Joe testified. Due to business commitments--he's owner of a trucking company back home in Minnesota--he was unable to stay for the rest of the tournament, but he plans to pack his new gun and be a contender at Great Lakes Grand.

Media Value While reach and frequency will not be measured directly, logic indicates that among active Trapshooters the impact will be significant. National trends indicate that 50% to 60% of all households have computers wired to the internet. And, there is no reason to suggest that Trapshooter Households vary from that trend. Thus, of the 55,000 ATA registered shooters 30,250 (55,000 X 55%) will have unique interest in the official results of the Great Lakes Grand, whether they attend or not.

Friday Event
#4 LAKE
MICHIGAN SINGLES Entries:
546 (146 more than last year!)
There
was quite a lull at the trophy case when the results of today�s Lake Michigan
Singles were posted. Just one prize could be awarded, and that was to Class D
winner Charles Vanderveen. His 98 was two short of putting him into the
carryover with 28 competitors deadlocked for the top two trophies. (See �High
Scores� below for those tied.) Senior
vet Allen Tomnitz celebrated two 100s�the first for his 100th
birthday today and the second for his 100 straight in the program. Allen, in
remarkable physical condition for his 100 years, continued his birthday
celebration long into the night, dancing on the practice trap with 100 ladies
who had formed a line to take a turn tripping the light fantastic with the
captain of the senior vet All-American team. The dance music was provided by
three members of the Michigan TA board of directors, with George Snellenberger
on tuba, Del Nye on flute, and Ben Johnston on drums. [Bob,
I�m really getting into these notes!] The
amazing increase in entries was attributed to 146 inmates from the local
women�s prison who went on strike last week until the warden granted them
permission to participate in today�s singles race. Each joined the ATA, fired
under close supervision by prison officials, and then boarded the bus for the
trip back to downtown Mason. Their scores didn�t make the high-score list
because none had any experience with a shotgun nor had any of them been
convicted of a crime using a firearm. Five who will be released before August do
plan to participate at the Grand American. They�ll be in the ones in the
striped shooting vests, so if you see them in Vandalia, please welcome them as
new ATA members. Look
for today�s remaining 16-yard trophy winners tomorrow after the results of the
Lake Huron Singles Class are posted. Event

Lou Ann Munson with 174 won Lady Two
trophies are still at stake, with Kay Ohye and Gregory Santo deadlocked after
each entered perfect scores this morning in the Lake Huron Singles Class
Championship. Kay, who was Thursday�s Singles winner, hasn�t missed a
16-yard target since the tournament began. He has been Great Lakes Grand Singles
champ three of the last four years so it�s fair to predict he will not intend
to miss a target Sunday as he tries for #4. Greg is fresh from winning his
Podunk state singles crown where he not only didn�t miss in the program but
continued 999 straight in shootoff before defeating ninety-nine others. These
are definitely two to watch during Sunday�s Great Lakes Grand Singles
Championship, and I�ll be watching them for you. For those of you who are at
the tournament and want to observe, Kay will be in Squad 14 and Greg in 41 (and
yes, I checked with them both to get permission to let you know their squad
numbers for tomorrow). Check back here tomorrow for the results. Sub-junior
winner Justin Liniger has just been notified that he has been awarded a
full-ride, four-year scholarship to Harvard University based upon his
outstanding trapshooting career as a sub-junior and junior ATA member. Justin
became interested in trap when he was in fourth grade and attended a local 4-H
Shooting Sports program back home in Abc, Ohio. He has been coached by Bob
Someone for the past six years and says, �I owe it all to Bob. Without his
help and encouragement, I would never have been able to travel to all the shoots
and have the opportunities I have had in this sport. I just wish every kid had a
�Bob�.� And
speaking of Bobs, Bob Septer, Class B winner, was celebrating his first perfect
score and his first ATA trophy. He�s a two-year shooter and was hoping this
would be the place where he �could lay a claim to fame.� Bob explained, �I
was born here 99 years ago and moved to Podunk, Ohio, when I was three years
old. I decided if I was going to leave a mark here in Mason, I�d better get
busy and do it now.�
