Ron Margello [OSSA Zone Director] and Hal Hare [OSSA Life Member and Hall of Fame] are serving as volunteer coaches for the Ohio State University Shotgun Club. Most recently they hosted a tournament, pitting the OSU Buckeyes against the University of Kentucky Wildcats. The tournament was held at the Clinton County Sportsman's Club in Wilmington, Ohio. The 48 member OSU Team sent their top 9 men and 2 women to compete against the 9 man UK team this past Saturday. The format was 50 Skeet/50 Trap and UK nipped the Buckeyes by a score of 375x500 to 355x500.
We hope this gives you some ideas for the promotion the shooting sports in your area. Might your club help your local University establish a shooting program? What a great opportunity to bring in new shooters and get favorable publicity for the shooting sports and your club. Anyone needing details may contact Ron [www.ronmargello@columbus.rr.com or Hal [www.hal.hare@sbcblobal.net].
