Surprised you don't know this guy Drew. It's Johnny Jahn who is in the ATA Hall of Fame. He was a professional shooter for Hercules Powder.

Johnny Jahn was from Spirit like Iowa. So was Fred Gilbert and Bob Allen. All three are in the trap Hall of Fame. Shame on me— I’m from Spirit Lake too and I didn’t recognize him either.

Marie Kautsky Grant is in the ATA Hall of Fame. I think she was from Iowa.
