Default Milestones

I shot ATA style trap for the first time in March of 2018. It was at the Vienna Volunteer Fire Dept. charity trap shoot. Joined the ATA and built my own trap field in June of 2018. Shot my first 25 straight on July 14, 2018. Since then I’ve kept a record of every straight I’ve shot in Singles, Handicap and Doubles, as well as the guns I shot them with. Today I reached another milestone at the Griffin Gun Club. On November 7, 2023, I shot my 500th 25 straight in trap. And I've done it 465 times with a Parker.

You make all of us proud John. You are my hero and I’m not fooling when I say that. You are the pride of the PGCA!

Congratulations, John. I've no doubt that your 500th straight with a Parker will be coming around soon.

Well done!
