A local athlete shot his way to the junior singles and handicap championships this past weekend.
Estevan Trap Club member Logan King won the Saskatchewan Amateur Trapshooting Association (SATA) junior championship with a score of 193 out of 200 this past Saturday in the 95th annual Saskatchewan Trapshooting Championships at the Saskatoon Gun Club. King followed that up by earning a score of 94x100 the next day in the handicap event, which involves shooters competing from greater distances from the trap house based on their ability.
The singles championship of 200 targets was won by Biggar's Dwight Smith after he competed in a shoot-off for the crown with Hudson Bay's Ed Kuzyk who earned veteran honours. Both shooters notched a score of 197x200 to force the shoot-off round.
The runner-up for the singles competition was Regina's Kahl Boll who finished with a score of 194x200, while Fillmore's Rod Boll captured the sub-veteran championship with a score of 196x100.
The doubles event, where two clay targets are thrown simultaneously, was held on Sunday with Rod Boll walking away with the championship thanks to a score of 97x100. This event was also decided by a shoot-off with Rod Boll besting Kahl Boll's one-round score 19x20 to 17x20.
Logan King captured the handicap title to close out the Saskatchewan Trapshooting Championships by besting the second-place finisher, Dave Williams, who finished one point behind the junior shooter with a score of 93x100.
