Eyes on Associates

By WPVGA Associate Div. President Matt Selenske, Allied Coop’s Pest Pros Division

Hello, everyone. As I am writing this, it is midsummer, the crop is doing very well, and it is shaping up to be an above average year, if you have irrigation. I’m not sure if by the time you read this the weather will have returned more to normal, but if I were a betting man, it is going to remain dry. Every year has its own unique challenges for certain.

Speaking of challenges, the WPVGA Associate Division will once again host the Sporting Clays Shoot on October 19, 2023, at the Wausau Skeet and Trap Club. We are currently planning the details, but it will be structured similarly to 2022, when we went to four-man teams to accommodate more shooters.

We had a full roster of 120 shooters last year on a beautiful October day with a fall backdrop in Marathon County. There’s nothing like being in a group of friends and associates cheering each other on with a side of friendly rivalry.

Here are the trophy results for the 3rd Annual Event on October 20, 2022:

• 1st Place – Male: Amos French, score of 65

• 2nd Place – Male: Josh Spacek, 64

• 1st Place – Female: Erin Meister, 32

• 2nd Place – Female: Tia Leonard, 28

• Top Team: Big Iron EquipmentBill Zelinski, Zach Mykisen, Luke Zelinski, Kevin Groshek (Top 3 score average of 59.33)

I have shot with Amos before, and he is good. He’s a lot better if he’s on your team, lol. And if I remember right, the trophy that Big Iron took home is going to be up for grabs. One lucky team might be able to claim it. More information will be available in the next issue or through the WPVGA e-newsletter “Tater Talk.”
