THE 121ST GRAND AMERICAN and AIM NATIONAL YOUTH CHAMPIONSHIPS PROGRAM THE 121ST GRAND AMERICAN and AIM NATIONAL YOUTH CHAMPIONSHIPS PROGRAM There is no one more disappointed than the ATA management and staff that the Grand will not be in Sparta this year. We look forward to returning to our home in Sparta in 2021. It has been our practice for many years to have the Grand program in your hands by June 1. Due to the unusual circumstances this year we created two separate drafts of the program, one for Sparta, and one for Missouri. When Missouri became the location, we continued the effort to complete that program, send it to the printer, and posted it on www.shootata.com. Due to the unavoidable delay in releasing the program to the printer, you may receive the program after pre-squadding opens on July 8 at 7:00 pm. With 60 trap fields, the Missouri facility has the second largest trap line and shooter capacity in the nation, however it is approximately half that of the World Shooting Complex at 121 fields. If you plan to attend the Grand, it is highly recommended that you pre-squad. This will aid shoot management in planning the shoot, accessing the need to make any attendance related decisions, and hopefully avoid disappointments to our members. As stated in the program, any positions unpaid on the first event of any day, 30 minutes in advance of that event, may result in all positions for that shooter for that day being forfeited. Also, drinking water may not be available on the trap line due to health restrictions. Please be prepared to furnish your own drinking water. The Grand American management team will be managing the Grand American at Missouri. You will see many of the individuals who you have come to know at Sparta for many years. We are grateful to the Missouri Trapshooters Association officials and staff for welcoming us to their facility to host the Grand American. They have gone to extreme lengths to accommodate our every need and request possible. This event will likely stress the maximum limits of their facility; however, they are making all efforts to accommodate as many ATA members as possible. Please thank them when you have the opportunity. This tournament will also be a tremendous challenge to the ATA staff. There are many amenities in Sparta that are not available in Missouri, so some inventive improvisation has become necessary. We will be grateful to you for your patience and understanding as we address these challenges and add another page to the trapshooting record book. Sincerely, Lynn A. Gipson Executive Director THE AMATEUR TRAPSHOOTING ASSOCIATION PROUDLY PRESENTS THE ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIRST Grand American President Mike Herman World Trapshooting Championships 2020 August 5-15, 2020 Missouri Trapshooters Association Linn Creek, MO AIM Grand Championships August 2-4, 2020 PRESIDENT’S WELCOME 2020 Grand American Welcome Shooters, On behalf of the Executive Committee, I want to welcome everyone to the greatest shooting event on Earth. As I write this, we are gripped in the uncertainty and threat of the COVID 19 pandemic. I hope by the time you read this, the pandemic is over and we’re able to return to our normal lives. Through it all, I’m more proud than ever to be a part of this incredible family. I want to personally thank the ATA Staff, Central Handicap Committee and the members of the Executive Committee for their hard work, support and dedication through this unprecedented and challenging time. I also want to thank our delegates, state officials and gun clubs for their stalwart dedication to the game we all love. Most of all, I want thank our members for their patience and loyalty. All of us have endured unbelievable challenges over the past few months. As we emerge from the COVID 19 pandemic, we all will have a renewed appreciation for our families and friends. I encourage you to leave the uncertainty of the past months behind and celebrate by getting together in Linn Creek, MO. Let’s take the opportunity to reacquaint ourselves with old friends and meet a few new ones. There will be plenty of targets, intense competition, lots of activities and a chance to make memories that will stay with us for years to come. As you prepare for the 2020 Grand American, please stay safe.
