114th Grand American World Trapshooting Championships - Sparta Illinois - Monday & Tuesday
@ 4:06 Tuesday - lots of 200's on Monday in the Winchester Singles Championship with VA shooter Bob Goodman being one of them. Jeff Galloway had a pair of 99's and I think Charlie Brown also had a 198.
Tuesday it looks like a patch of 99's with VA shooter Clay Floyd sitting on top of the list. Lewis Wyatt is going to get a punch with his 96 and not sure whether he will get to shootoff or not. Looks like Brad Barnett got on the board with a 93...
Hard keeping up with all of the info and all the great scores that are being broken.....

Saturday evening @ 10:35..... The ATA has done a great job posting the scores for the Grand and I am just now getting a chance to look at them.
Looks like 100's in singles - caps and doubles are the rule of the day. Matt Bartholow is 400 straight in singles and doubles and broke a 100 from the 27 to top it all off.
Noticed that Bill Howe got a 1/2 yard punch in one of the caps and noticed Clay Floyd was shooting good in Illinois. Also noticed that VA shooter Blair Surber broke a 98 in the caps and good to see him back shooting.
I am sure some NC shooters are in limbo on the carryovers from singles and doubles and it takes a while for all of those scores to shake out as ties are settled on a day to day basis.
Jeff Galloway made it to the Grand and broke a 95 in caps and doubles today and that is a great start after traveling and jumping off a plane. There are other NC shooters at the Grand and I am looking for their names on the leaderboard very soon. Sure hated to miss it again this year and maybe 2014 will be the year to go.
I will try to pay attention Sunday and for the rest of the Grand so check back when you can.....

@1:22PM Wednesday - The Grand is underway with the 1st event being the Hodgdon Powder Singles. About 30 100's and scores of 99's and 98's on the board.
Some names to mention including friend to NC Jim Blevins with a 100, 21 year old Rachel Hopkins, $100,000 winner and Federal Rep Devon Harris with 100's.
99's included Harlan Campbell, SC Delegate Jim Faber, FB friend Kaylynn Hamilton, Nora Ross and others. The live feed is showing squad 55 on the ready and that might be for the second 100 with caps and dubs to follow.
We will keep an eye on the board if we can and you can view it by going to http://www.shootata.com and look for "live feed" from the Grand......
