Members and friends of the ISTA, as you know, we are working on a fundraising initiative to raise money to build a "Hall of Fame" addition to our building at the Brittany Shooting Park. ISTA members, former and present as well as family members and friends can purchase a personalized, engraved brick paver that will be used to build a sidewalk in front of the Hall of Fame building entrance. Show your support of our organization, recognize your local club, or purchase a brick to remember a past shooter or accomplishment, that everyone will be able to see for years to come.

Hi everyone. Shooting here in Illinois has not picked up yet. But down in the south, Illinois shooters are doing well at major shoots. At the Spring Grand, in Arizonia, Tom Fester was second in the Senior Veteran category in both the Singles and Handicap Championships. At the Southern Grand, in Florida, Ian Lawrence was second in the Singles Championship and won HOA. Tony Fortino won the HAA Championship. Tom Fester won the Senior Veteran Handicap Championship and Steve Terzo won the Class B Doubles Championship. Great shooting all of you!
Now that shooting is starting to pick up in the south, we are starting to reach milestones again in shooting careers. Both John Nord and Brenda Dennis have reached 50,000 Handicap targets. Congratulations. Dedication is the first step to championships.
By the time you read this, shooting will be going full bore in Illinois. Remember, set goals, be relentless and have fun. Shoot well and support your local clubs.
Bill
