107TH ANNUAL Utah State Shoot JUNE 23RD – 27TH 2021 HOSTED BY THE USTA @ VERNAL ROD & GUN CLUB USTA PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE I would like to thank everyone who is attending and shooting the 2021 Utah State Shoot. The USTA Officers, Gun Club Directors and several local shooters have worked hard in raising money and putting together a wonderful trophy package. This year’s shoot is hosted by Vernal Rod and Gun Club. Anyone who has shot here knows that Vernal throws some great targets and runs an exceptionally smooth shoot! I would like to extend a huge thank you to all the Utah Gun Club Directors who work tirelessly to host and put on shoots throughout the entire summer. Without the work of these individuals, the USTA would not have such a full shoot schedule throughout the summers. The support that you and all Utah Shooters show these clubs does not go unnoticed. Without you, none of this would be possible! Browning has once again donated a beautiful BT-99 that we will be selling raffle tickets for. Please be sure to buy some tickets for your chance to win! We will have our annual State Member Meeting after the Championship Singles event on Saturday. We will be presenting State Team Awards, voting for USTA Officers, then discussing policies and procedures. I look forward to seeing everyone at Vernal Rod & Gun Club and meeting some new shooters along the way. Thank you again for your continued and unwavering support of the State Shoot and the USTA.
