Executive Committee Member Interest
Posted on Monday, October 28th, 2024
The PITA Executive Committee is sorry to announce that Betty Phipps has chosen to resign from her position on our board. Betty has been an invaluable board member, providing logical, experienced, measured opinions, endless hours of work on bylaws, rules, dinners, events, and trophies, and most importantly, being our “Godmother of the PITA.” She has served on this board for several years and will be greatly missed. When you see her around at a shoot, please take the time to thank her for her service.
Per the PITA bylaws, the Executive Committee must now appoint her replacement. If you or someone you know is interested in joining our board, please complete t
his form and send it to
kay@shootpita.com. We will accept Interest Forms until
November 15, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. PDT.
All Interest Forms will then be reviewed by the current executive committee. Depending on the interest in the position, we may conduct interviews, or we may just choose a candidate from those who apply.
Thank you
PITA Executive Committee

Congratulations 2024 Hall of Fame Inductee!!
Posted on Monday, February 26th, 2024
Congratulations 2024 Hall Of Fame Inductee!
Tom Garrigus grew up on the Tualatin River in Oregon, near the Hillsboro Trap and Skeet Club. Tom’s dad, Don, started Tom shooting trap when he was three years old. Dad would help Tom support the gun and pull the trigger. On one of those days, Tom came home with a black eye, and dad Don was in hot water on the home front.Tom was a member of the PITA for seventeen years, registering his first targets in 1963. In 1962, as a junior shooter, he shot his first registered ATA targets, winning a Junior trophy at the Oregon State shoot that year. He repeated this win in 1964.In 1965, Tom joined the Air Force, serving to 1969. He was assigned to the Marksmanship Training Unit and represented the USA at the 1968 Olympics; winning a silver medal in trapshooting. From 1992 to 2002, he served as an assistant shotgun coach of the USA Shooting Team. Later, in 1996, Tom and his wife, Jackie, were referees at the 1996 Olympic Games. Prior to the 1996 Olympics, Tom worked with Gold Medalist Kim Rhode, Silver Medalist Josh Lakotos, and Bronze Medalist, the Pacific Northwest’s own, Lance Bade.A bit of trivia…Tom and fellow Olympic shooter Ray Stafford attended the first ATA Hall of Fame Banquet as members of the Olympic Shooting Team. In 1994, Tom was inducted into the Oregon ATA Hall of Fame. In 2018, Tom was inducted into the nationwide ATA Hall of Fame.Tom won numerous PITA and ATA trophies in Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and the Grand American. During his shooting career, Tom had eight (8) Grand Pacific wins and fifty-six (56) State/Provincial wins as well as making two (2) appearances on the PITA All-Star Team (1976 and 1977).Tom was very good at sales and teaching others the art of shooting. In sales, he represented Ithaca, Perazzi, and Krieghoff shotguns. The good Lord took him in 2006; he is probably still coaching marksmanship.
