Well, as my friend Earnie Shepherd would always remind me at this time of the year when he worked out at the Rocket Factory, “The average temperature is increasing.”  And that’s a good thing, because I’m pretty well tired of winter.

There are some other good things going on around the State and these are related to trapshooting.  I’ve exchanged a few e-mails with Frank Alleman at the Kane County (formerly Kanab) Gun Club.  Seems the folks at Kane County GC want to re-join the USTA.  I don’t have all the details yet, but I’d like to welcome our friends at KCGC back.  I’m not sure if we can get any registered shoots at this club before fall, but I hope so.  It will be nice to have another club in the south.

Speaking of Kane County and Kanab, the newest ATA Rookie of the Year, Robert Helms, hails from that part of the state.  Robert joins a long list of Utah shooters who have achieved this national honor.  Congratulations to Robert.

The other good thing that I want to mention is a shoot that I hope can become an annual affair.  We are going to have what I’m calling the “Hall of Fame Benefit Shoot” at the Lee Kay Center.  This shoot will be hosted by the Ogden Gun Club and will be shot on July 31 – August 1, 2010.  We will be working out the program and other details over the next couple months.  The shoot is being organized by the Ogden Gun Club in conjunction with the Utah State Trapshooting Hall of Fame.  By holding this shoot at the Lee Kay Center we hope to be able to have a larger shoot than would be possible at Ogden.  This also allows us to utilize a very nice facility that is close to a large number of shooters.

I know Ron Sellers, Utah Trapshooting Hall of Fame President, has been working on this idea for some time.  He has a number of commitments for trophies and added money lined up.  I’m very excited about this and hope we can have a good turnout.  Some of you old timers will remember that the end of July was the traditional date for a shoot at the old Bonneville Gun Club (at the Lee Kay Center) when Fred Kuhn was running that club.  I feel that this shoot brings that tradition back.

So, mark your calendars and be part of a new tradition.  I hope to see you there. 


Until the next time, take care.



Thank You,


Scott Hoover
