Delegates Article for the July issue of Trap & Field

Hello from New York State.  I hope that everyone is doing well and staying safe and healthy. 

            The 19^th Annual Empire Grand American is now history.  The tournament was held from Wednesday, May 10^th, 2023, to Sunday, May 14^th, 2023.  Even though it was windy during all five days of the shoot, the skies were sunny, and the days were pleasant.

            During the singles championship, Carl Chadwell from Michigan took the champion trophy with an excellent score of 199 x 200.  Herbert Lewis from Kentucky was the runner-up with a score of 198 x 200.  In the double’s championship, Louis DiPrete from Rhode Island took the championship with a 97 x 100 and Ben Snyder from Pennsylvania was the runner-up with 96 x 100.  Edwin Johnson from New York was the handicap champion with a score of 94 x 100 and Brian Luther was the runner-up with a score of 91 X 100.  Finally, in the High-All-Around, Ben Snyder from Pennsylvania was the champion with a 382 x 400 and in the High-Over-All, Carl Chadwell from Michigan was the champion with a 943 x 1,000.  This was excellent shooting by these fine competitors.

            Trophy winners from New York were:  Alex Fischer, Monica Reed, William Wallis, Darrin Cooke, Michael Pantuosco, Todd Hosbach, Becki Logan, Andrew Goodwin, Mark McCumber, Paul Rapoli, John Cook, Don Alderson, James Flint, Thomas Murphy, Michael Terzo, Alex Tucker, Gary Hoysradt, Bob Edwards, Keith Miranda, Daniel Fadden, Dennis Bobbette, Chad Landon, Urban Womer, Curt Robbins, Dave Cichelli,  Ronald Sank, II, Michael Bumpus, Christina Haldema, Tammy Wildenstein, Aaron Leone, Jeffrey Ravella, Joe Regan, George Panarisi, George Hart, David Corrente, Chris Pollichemi, Tom Lander, Lanny Kinner, Greg Tartick, David McMasters, Eddie Cotton, Rich Sauer, Timothy Corrente, William Compton, Jeffrey Fischer, Andrew Baker, Jeffrey Bubb, Chase Wojtanik, TJ Calvaruso, Robert Papplevea, Sal DiTommaso, Michael Bumpus, Jr., Michael Waschitz, Cono Natale, and Mark Johnson.  All trophy winners can be viewed on the New York State ATA website:  www.nysata.com and in Trap and Field Magazine.  Congratulations. 

            A total of 214,00 targets were thrown.  There was a total of 557 shooters in the Championship Event, making the tournament a Competition Factor of 3 for All American Points.  Thank you to all of those who shot and/or helped.  It is really appreciated by the Officers and Directors of the New York State ATA.  Thanks.

            Congratulations to Jeffrey Gregor for reaching the total of 25,000 registered handicap targets.  Keep it up.

            Next up at the home grounds in Cicero, NY will be the 162^nd New York State Shoot.  The Tournament will be held from Wednesday, July 5, 2023, to Sunday, July 9, 2023.  We all hope that you plan to attend.
