Huntsvlle, one knows She sport of Strap shooSSng Bike BBsSed Bveire ClinSon's Sea Swan Parmita Continuad on paga -- 21 You think about trap shooting, you think about Clinton's Bob Green. It's just that simple. Green, who resides with his family at 663 West 2S75 North in Clinton, Utah, has become a local hero and trap shooting has brought it all about. Presently he is preparing to compete in the upcoming World Games. He primed himself for this competition by dueling in the most recent Pan-AGames in Puerto Rico where he claimed a gold medal as the individual champion and another gold medal as a member of the team champion. Like most successful athletes or exceptionally high achievers, Bob started young in trap shooting. At the age of 14, growing up in a rural area of Michigan, he hunted pheasants and other game. A few years later he was invited to a local gun club for a turkey shoot and finished by winning five turkeys. That kind of success prompted me to get a shooting coach. I purchased a trap gun from him and soon he had me in shooting competitions all over the area, said Bob. Green learned quickly .and by the age of 17, after winning several load and state trap shooting titles, he entered the U.S. Junior competition and was victorious. That same year he decided to join the Air Force and while stationed at Lackland AFB in Texas, Bob began to develop and perfect his shooting abilities. At the e time of joining the Air Force, there was a shooting program which was more competitive and much more intense than what I had involved myself with in the past. I credit most of the shooting ability I have now to the intense training I received in the Air is very Face, said Bob. The Air Force similar to Olympic-typ-e shooting, very competitive and intense. While in school at BYU Bob admits he didnt do much shooting mainly because of the expense. Soon afterwards he joined the Army reserve and got himself back in the groove of shooting again. Since that time he has been to Europe three times in international competition, has shot in the U.S. National United Trails 3 years, is a member of the world-recoStates team, finished second in the Nationals this past year and recently took home the gold medal at the Pan-AGames. Bob expects to try-ou- t for the Olympic team in San Antonio next year. The Army reserve has supported Bob in all his travels, of which he expressed his m full-tim- i trap-shootin- g J v rd m gratefulness. Bobs family, supports him in all his competitions, but Trudy, his wife, admits its nice to have him home I for a while. Over 100 countries will participate in the World Games. Bob is anxious for this event, as is the rest of the U.S. team, mainly because it gives than a chance to see what the rest of the world has to offer before the Olympics in 1900. Green expects the Russians, Italians, and Frenchmen to be the prime competition. Trap shooting is shot in a round of 25 clay pigeons at a time with six to a squad. After this squad has shot 25 a piece, you wait for an hour and a half for other squads to shoot. After a wait, you come back and shoot 25 more. Bob explained that a total of 200 targets are shot at and that a score of 198 or 199 would win the competition. As far Bobs equipment, he uses a German-mad- e shot gun called a Kriegboff. This is over and under shot gun. Green explains his gun is made of specially for International trap shooting competition. The gun is heavy, said (keen, It weighs about 9 V4 to 10 pounds, not the kind of gun you carry around in the fields. $ V u If A.' k iJ f k miallMl MM IIH ! infill Ml HIM till I 4 I Iff H 14 1 1 MtmtiMO |
