PITA mourns the loss of two members.  John Booth of Boise, Idaho succumbed to cancer on January 3, 2016.
Ron Rost of Henderson, NV passed away December 28, 2015.

On a particularly nasty-weather-even-for-the northwest day 44 shooters gathered at Old Skagit Gun Club for their December Shoot.  The rain fell and the wind blew but Brian Fooks managed to shoot a 96 in the Singles Event and Mike O’Malley a 95 in the Handicap Event (to see all the results click here).  During the lunch break, while everyone was warming up and drying off, two milestone events were celebrated.  These milestones were actually shot during the Doubles Marathon at Old Skagit in October but the celebration was delayed until the December Shoot.  Dave McCallum reached 150,000 registered targets while Creige Scribner shot his 50,000^th.  Congratulations to both of these shooters on this accomplishment.

Junior and Sub-Junior shooters can win scholarships for placing on the P.I.T.A. Allstar team.  An additional team has been added for 2016.  There will be two Junior teams and one Sub-Junior team.  See all the details click here.

Carol Barnes, formally of Moraga, CA passed away November 27th surrounded by family in Indiana.  She first registered PITA targets in 1969 and received her 100,000 milestone in 1996.  Carol was inducted to the PITA Hall of Fame in 2002. She was preceded in death by husband, Frank, both were well known in PITA.

Wet and windy conditions in most locations this month resulted in some lower than usual scores (click HERE to view).  While perfect scores were posted in singles 49’s ruled in handicap and doubles.  Larry Davis (Lake Co), Jim Turnbull (Yakima) and Lawrence Smith (Fallon) all earned 1/2 yard  & $275 for their score of 49/50.  Congratulations to Brad Eatmon and Wayne Norcutt – HOA winners this month with 145/150.

Congratulations clubs and shooters!  You broke another Multiplex record.

The November event shot at 42 clubs broke two records:

1. Most targets 62,050
2. Most shooters 463

Join the fun at the December event held December 5 or 6.  Remember, you can only shoot the event once so if you shoot at two clubs the 2nd time you shoot is for registered targets only.  The club should contact the PITA office should this occur.  Payouts for the Oct, Nov and Dec events will be made in mid-December.
