Congratulations 2024 Hall Of Fame Inductees!

The PITA Hall of Fame board is pleased to announce the 2025 Hall of Fame Inductees, Art Moore (British Columbia) and Richard Bullard, Jr (Nevada). The induction ceremony will be held during the 2025 PITA Grand Pacific in Bend, Oregon.

ART MOORE

Arthur Charles Moore (Art) was born in Chatham Kent, England on May 21, At that time Art’s dad was stationed in England with the Corps of Royal Canadian Engineers. Art’s early years were spent in Germany, Alberta, and British Columbia, following his father’s army postings. The Moore’s settled in Grenfell, Saskatchewan to take over the family farm in Art helped his parents run the grain and cattle operation. After graduating from programs at Southern Alberta and British Columbia Institute of Technology, Art began working as a marine engineer. First traveling the Arctic with the Canadian Coastguard, and later around the globe as a Chief Engineer of deep-sea bulk carrier transport ships. Art returned to Victoria, B.C. to help his parents in their retirement.

It was on the farm that Art learned how to handle a rifle and shotgun. Art began his trapshooting career in 1988, and became well known for his expert marksmanship, his mentoring of other up and coming shooters, and his volunteer work throughout the trapshooting community. During his 36-year trapshooting career Art shot a total of 215,125 registered PITA targets, shooting at numerous tournaments across Canada and the USA. Over the years he earned recognition on the Vancouver Island Shooting League (VISL), the British Columbia, and the PITA All Star Teams. Art recorded fifty-three major wins in the British Columbia Provincial Championships, the Western Canadian Championships, the Canadian Championships and the PITA Grand Pacific.

During his shooting career, Art was significantly instrumental in keeping the Vancouver Island Shooting League running smoothly for many years by doing the computer work, working on the trap machines, and ordering the trophy packages, and managed to win numerous events in the VISL. He also served as president of the British Columbia Trapshooting Association (BCTA) for 2 years and served on the PITA Executive Committee. Art’s peers considered him to be a humble man, one who let his shooting prowess do the talking.

RICHARD BULLARD, JR.

Rich is a third generation native Nevadan. He started shooting competitive clay targets when his family opened Sage Hill Clay Sports in Reno, Nevada. Since that time, he has accumulated numerous Nevada State Championships, Out of State Championships, All Star Team selections, Grand Pacific titles, and a Grand Slam.

For the last seventeen years Rich has had the good fortune to be able to attend PITA shoots in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California, Arizona, and of course, Nevada. He enjoys the competition of trapshooting and the camaraderie amongst his fellow competitors. In addition to shooting a shotgun, Rich enjoys all sports, having played college basketball. When not shooting a shotgun, Rich enjoys Alpine snow skiing and pretty much any other outdoor activity.

2025 Multiplex Updates

Posted on by

ATTN: CLUB MANAGERS – Thank you everyone for your feedback on the forms. DO NOT USE OLD FORMS.  The current forms are blue (150 bird multiplex) (Updated 12/27/2024). The purple sub-gauge forms have not changed you can still use those (50 bird sub-gauge). The forms are at the bottom of this page.  When emailing your results be sure to include copies of all membership applications.  A fill-in membership form that can be saved and emailed is posted on our FORMS page – 2025-Membership Form (click to download) so you have it easily available.  If your club has conflicting shoot dates during the scheduled Multiplex week and you need to reschedule contact multiplex@shootpita.com beforehand for an alternate date (48-hour notice is required).

New 2025

With the introduction of the new earned yardage table for 50-target events,  it is even more imperative that all clubs and/or cashiers submit their shoot reports and membership forms for new and renewals to the P.I.T.A. NO LATER THAN 4:00 p.m. on the Monday following the shoot for the multiplex. Example: January multiplex is the 5 -11 reports must be received by Monday, January 12, 4:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time.

This will enable us to keep accurate and up-to-date records for each shooter and ensure that information is accessible for shoots the following weekend.

Multi-plex earned yardage is calculated on the entire number of shooters participating in the multi-plex so, we MUST know that number as soon as possible following the shoot.  This will enable us to calculate earned yardage so that anyone who earned yardage in the multiplex will be able to shoot the correct yardage the following weekend. A score of 50 or 49 is an automactic 1- yard punch those who shoot either of those scores should shoot the new yardage at the very next shoot.

Any club who does not submit their shoot reports in a timley manner will risk revokation of their shoot certificate(s) for future shoots.

If you have any questions, please contact Kay Klundt at kay@shootpita.com or 208-312-0314.
