The 121st SD State Trapshooting Championships were held in Aberdeen July 12-17 with great attendance from in state and out of state shooters.
Several Rapid City Trap Club shooters returned home from the shoot with honors of milestones being etched into the record books.
Jaime Lescarboura of Hermosa carded his 100,000 doubles targets and also his 100,000 handicap target over the week long tournament. When you consider that most registered competitions include 100 singles, 100 handicap and 100 doubles targets ; the magnitude of this feat is overwhelming. Jaime recorded his 300,000 singles target in 2006 and he is now at a total of over 330,000 singles targets. Jaime began shooting trap in 1973, and has set and reached his personal goals through his dedication to the sport.
Matt Bartholow also reached a personal milestone during the State competition. Matt earned his Grand Slam after blasting 100 of 100 handicap targets from the 27 yard line. A Grand Slam in the trapshooting world is 200 x 200 in a registered singles competition, a 100 x 100 in a registered doubles race and perfect score in the handicap competition from the 27 yard line. The scores do not have to be shot at the same tournament, but they must be shot at a registered ATA event. According to the ATA Hall of Fame records, Matt is only the 5th shooter from SD to attain this achievement.
Several youth shooters from the Rapid City club shot personal bests at the competition too. Ericka Grimm carded her first 50 and 75 straight targets (long run without a miss) during the state shoot. Thor Olson recorded his first 25 and 50 straight. Posting their first 25 straight targets were Emily Johnson, Megan Brink, Zach Larson, Austin Duvall, and Hunter Weaver.
The two Rapid City youth teams returned home as champions as well. The Junior team had a combined score of 955 (Kylie Kintigh 196, Emily Johnson 188, Ericka Grimm 193, Megan Brink 189, and Thor Olson 189). Aberdeen came in second with a score of 942. The Rapid City Sub Jr. team also received first prize with their combined score of 909 (Jordan Hart 193, Hunter Weaver 190, Justin Brown 185, Aren Wells 156 and Austin Duvall 185). The next highest Sub Jr. team was from Aberdeen with a score of 826.
