RECENT NEWS

Oct 16th/21

This really isnt news but i did find it interesting. I asked a freind to pick ten of the best all time trap shooters in Alberta history. His answer was based on provincial titles only. My list was broader and included Canadian titles and yearly averages, the importance of that can be argued and discussed forever.

Provincials is where we all shoot the same basic conditons and all things are pretty much equal, which is fair enough. It got me thinking who has the most provincial titles. So i looked. We both had Neil Burbidge at the top of our list and with 28 titles, 14 of them HOAs, there is no disputes, he is the bull. Allan Day has the next most with 13 and with a 399 in the HAA he is a solid top 5. Larry Ivany (also has a 399 HAA title) , Allan Radaway, Vera Holdsworth and Susan Nattress all have 12. Allan Radaway with 12 titles is the king of doubles, with 7 he has 3 more than the next closest guy, he is another solid top 5. Two gentleman who have a accumulated a lot of hardware the last few years are Shawn Mcniel and Brad Johnson they each have 9 titles and will probably win more over the next few years. Shane Whynot, Floyd Nattress from the early years It all makes for a fun a discsussion as to who belongs on the list.
