Merv Perra shoots 150,000^th at Old Skagit

The weekend of June 20 and 21, witnessed two milestone events.  The first was Merv Perra shooting his 150,000^th registered target during the Sunday Handicap.  Merv was congratulated by all in attendance for achieving this and received a pin from PITA as well as a belt buckle from Vancouver Gun Club and a jacket from Old Skagit Gun Club.

MERV SHOOTING HIS 150,000TH TARGET – DID IT BREAK?

MERV RECEIVING HIS MILESTONE AWARDS – PIN FROM PITA, BUCKLE FROM VANCOUVER GUN CLUB AND JACKET FROM OLD SKAGIT

Seventy different shooters attended this two day shoot, participating in singles, handicap, and doubles events on both days.  Conditions were excellent as were the targets and it was reflected in some very good scores.  Ron Hull shot a 100 straight in Saturday’s singles which also saw three 99’s and four 98’s.  Sunday’s singles also had high scores with Don Meece topping the list with his 99 followed by eight 98’s.  Don started out a little slowly on Saturday but warmed up on Sunday, shooting the high score in two of three events and going on to take HOA for the weekend.

A second milestone was that this was the first registered shoot at Old Skagit since the formation of the Moose Old Skagit Gun Club Special Purpose Corporation. The club is now member owned and no longer a part of the Mt. Vernon Moose Lodge.  Look for more information on this in the near future.  (All registered events will be held as currently scheduled.)

Hope to see you at our Doubles Marathon on July 18^th.

Jack Nelson earned his first punch at Caldwell Gun Club on May 2nd.  At age 13 years, 6 months and 2 days he scored a perfect round – 100 straight from 19 yards.  He is the youngest shooter to post a perfect score in Idaho.

He used an 11-87 automatic and 2 3/4 dram Federal ammunition.

He is currently in the 7th grade at Lighthouse Christian School where he is a 4.0 GPA student.  He lives in Twin Falls, Idaho with his brother Sam, his Dad Mark, and his Mom Mary Kay.  Both Sam and Mark are also PITA members.

Jack started shooting trap in 2012 through a local 4 H program and became hooked on the sport.  He continued in 4 H and in 2014 started shooting in the SCTP program with the Twin Falls Youth Shooting program – the “Hot Shots.”  In July of 2014 Jack joined the PITA and has been competing in trap as much as he can.  He has a deep passion for trapshooting and competition.

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!
