Utah ATA Delegate
April 2024,
Last month, I promised a report on the Spring Grand in Tucson. Utah didn’t have as good a showing as usual, only 19 shooters. Overall attendance was good, but it was a little down from last year. The only people I know from Utah who brought home some bling were Sharred Oaks, Grayson Stuart, Lee Ann Martin, Kooper and Randy Freston.
I have little to speak about other than the weather. Here’s some of my useless trivia: Mark Twain said, “Everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it.” I fall into that category.
Most days, the mornings were chilly, and the afternoons were warm, 70-80 degrees, and very sunny. It was breezy more often than not. However, on Wednesday, it rained all through the afternoon handicap. At one point, the line was cleared because of lightning.
Besides competing, one of the great things about going to shoots is reconnecting with old friends. The remainder of my report will be a collage of photographs of people I visited with.
Charlie Long and his little companion Lily, whom Charlie calls “Sweetheart.”
Steve Williamson is learning to shoot left-handed since his right eye has gotten so bad.
Charlie Bickle and I are trying to keep the pouring rain off our heads between rounds.
Eileen Williamson and Donna Mathers. Steve and Charlie’s better halves.
Emi Smith from Montana, the Lady I Spring Grand Singles Champ.
Bill Daniels with White Flyer Targets. Bill was instrumental in solving an issue with a much-needed delivery of targets.
Sharred Oaks who is a trapshooter extraordinaire from Vernal, Utah.
Barry Roach from Illinois and I have been long-time friends.
I am with with fellow squad mates Charlie Bickle, Robert Hight, Charlie Long, and Jay Nigbor.
As you can see, I had a great time in Tucson.
