Members of the ISSA:

 

The Iowa State Skeet Association is pleased to provide you with the 2009 skeet shoot schedule and annual newsletter.  Please keep and refer to the schedule on the reverse of this letter throughout the coming year for information on dates and locations of important events.

 

ISSA State Teams & State/Zone Recognition

NSSA has released the 2008 shooting year average data, which is used to determine awards and honors, including the ISSA state teams.  ISSA honors are based on those shooters who qualified by shooting the required state minimums of 500 targets in each of the five HAA events (four guns + doubles).  Congratulations to the following shooters who made the state teams as well as other shooters who achieved state and national recognition.

 

A special congratulation goes out to the team members and coaches involved in the Scholastic Clay Target Program across Iowa.  Three of the youth shooters made the state teams this year.  They are Chad Gleason, Brendan Appel, and Cody Hauschel.
