World Shoot Commemorative Scorecard

By

At this year’s World Skeet Championships, shooters will see something new in their registration packets — a Commemorative Scorecard.

The front of the scorecard features this year’s event logo and dates, while the back has sections for the shooter to record scores from each event, squad mates, and other fun facts and tidbits that will make the 2017 World Skeet Championships memorable for years to come. If you’re going to the World Shoot, be sure to look for yours inside your packet and have fun recording your memories!

Arizona State Champ, Brian Anderson, Passes

By

On June 19 the skeet shooting community lost a great competitor and true ambassador to the shooting sports, Brian S. Anderson. Throughout his life, Brian participated in a number of shooting sports, settling into the game of skeet in 2009. In eight short years, Brian established himself as an accomplished competitor, skeet supporter, as well as a coach in Phoenix, Arizona, and Rockford, Illinois.

If Brian wasn’t in Rockford attending to his automotive business, he could be found in the early morning on the skeet fields with his wife Judy at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility in Phoenix. If asked when he would be at the club next, his answer was, “I only shoot on days that end in Y.” Brian never practiced alone, drawing adult and youth shooters alike, working on his game as well as coaching others, in particular helping with new young competitors. Brian was the “go-to guy” for parents looking for instruction, advice on what gun to buy their son or daughter, sourcing reloading components, and any of the myriad questions shooters new to the sport always have. He always obliged whatever the request and took great pleasure in helping others in a sport that he loved.

All that practice and concentration on the overall game paid off with Brian winning the HOA Arizona State Titles in 2016 and 2017, as well as posting numerous AA/AAA scores at other competitions in Arizona and the World Skeet Championships. In addition to competition, Brian was a Director on the Board of Claybusters of Arizona, the current vice-president of the Arizona Skeet Shooting Association, an active SCTP shotgun coach, and a Level 1 NSSA Certified Instructor.

Always calm and unassuming, Brian made his mark on the sport and so many lives through his actions and the example he lived. Our sport needs people like Brian and although his life and time to participate in this great sport was cut short, he left an example for many to follow, and a legacy of young, accomplished skeet shooters lining up to climb on the winners’ podium.

Randy Penwell Leaves a Legacy

By

Randy Clark Penwell from Dallas, Texas, passed on May 11, 2017 after a two-year battle with cancer.  He leaves behind his wife, Mary, and many loved ones.

Randy was the consummate entrepreneur, with multiple business endeavors, as well as a sportsman with many hobbies. He accepted challenges and adventures with much enthusiasm and determination. Skeet shooting was his favorite and as a perfectionist competitor, he won many honors. He was inducted into the Texas Skeet Shooters Hall of Fame in 1996. He won two World Championships, was on the Texas State team and National All-American teams many times. His proudest accomplishment was the three years that his dad, Josh, Lonny and he all earned All-American status at the same time. Three generations of AA shooters – a record that has not been broken.

Loving the outdoors, many other times were spent deer hunting, dove hunting in Argentina, riding Harleys, fishing, scuba diving, snow skiing, traveling or cooking on his smoker. He was happiest when family was sharing these times with him. His greatest joy was when his grandchildren were around; their laughter and love made his heart sing.

In lieu of customary remembrances the family requests, with gratitude, those who wish to remember Randy in a special way make gifts to St. Jude’s Children Hospital or The Special Olympics.
