Good morning to all and I hope you are enjoying the warm weather. Lots of shooting over the weekend with the Southern Zone wrapping up Sunday. Lots of shooting coming up this week with LCP shooting their BIG50 Wednesday and Ft.Bragg and LCP shooting Saturday the 25th. Watauga shoots the 25th and the 26th and I would expect that shoot programs will be posted today.
I wasn't at the Southern Zone but I heard it was a little warm in Bostic. That didn't keep folks from breaking great scores in all three telephonic locations. Shoot scores are posted and can be accessed through trapshooters.com and look for shoot scores at the top. I have no site breakouts except for Odessa and a little tough picking through all of the scores.
The 2015 Southern Zone singles champion is Kevin Parrott and he went another 100 to secure the title. Their were five 200's with three in Berea and one each in Bostic and Odessa. The 2015 doubles champion is Dillon Tosh after 100 in competition and 20 in the shootoff. The only other 100 was also broken in Berea and Garrett Sweeney wound up the Zone Jr doubles champ.
The big story is the 2015 Zone Handicap Champion and it is none other than Morgan Shaw from the Watauga Gun Club in Boone NC. He broke one of the three 98's Zone wide and wound up winning the shootoff against Addison Callan and Kenneth Matney in Berea. Morgs 23 in the shootoff was all it took to win the great title. Hats off to Morg and you got to admit he has hung in there like a loose tooth shooting and helping his Hunter Safety kids in the NC mountains.
HAA Champ is Garrett Sweeney with 198/100/95=393 - HAA Jr Champ is Addison Callan with 199/95/98=392 - HAA Runner-Up is Jordan Foley with 200/99/92=391 and that is some mighty fine shooting I might say.
HOA Champ is Kevin Polson with 973x1000 - Garrett Sweeney Jr Champ 971x1000 - HOA Runner-Up is Clay Floyd with 969x1000 and HOA 3rd is Danny Ryan with a 967x1000........Great shooting fellows. I might have left a few folks and I do apologize. One interesting note is that Jimmy Wilson nipped Dangerous Dan Johnson in the HOA by ONE BIRD.....And Tom Pitts took Tom Shelley to the woodshed and that is all I will say.....
The official Southern Zone report should be available today and I will get a link to it or post it right here on the site. Have a great week everybody and after a 60 hour workweek last week I have another 60 hour workweek to enjoy this week. Hello to Hap, Scott and Lou and until next week......................Smokem
