Congratulations to all the champions who come from all over Montana. This was a terrific tournament and the Great Falls Trap Club is to be commended for all their efforts. Having worked in numerous state tourneys, I know just how much work it takes to make these events successful. Now it’s onto next year in Missoula.
Be safe and good shooting.
