The CO State Shoot boiled down to cousin against cousin, husband against wife!  The question arose, “When two are tied (high score) in a championship event and they want to share the glory – can they?”  Yes – PITA has no requirement that ties be shot off.  Page 15 of the Rulebook “Ties” allows any mutually agreed method.   All the Championship events and High Over All ended with relatives tied.  So in the spirit of sportsmanship they all chose to share the titles.  See the Co-Champions and all the results CLICK HERE.

Pawnee’s youngest shooter, Ben Keller, age 10 took home his 1st State Shoot trophies – 4 total.

Congratulations to all!

The Mason Valley Gun Club in Yerington, Nevada, was the proud sponsor of the 2015 Nevada PITA State Shoot.  Despite an occasional sprinkle of rain, six trap fields were put to use by the bumper crowd of outstanding shooters.  Scores like Rich Bullard’s 200 in the Championship Singles, Jimmy Heller’s 100 in the Championship Doubles were just two of the many notables (view results here).  This is the first time in memory for Mason Valley to host the State Shoot and by all accounts they did an outstanding job.  Well, maybe it was more than an occasional sprinkle but the lake in the parking lot was fairly shallow most of the time.  The new Camero option giveaway had no winners – the car returns to the dealership today.  Congratulations to Mason Valley and NSPITA boards and volunteers!
