The Clairton Sportsmen’s Club held the Clairton 200 on June 15 at their expansive facility in Clairton, PA. All three of their manicured skeet fields were used. The weather was beautiful; sunny and upper 70s with light winds. This shoot featured 100 12-gauge birds in the morning and 100 28-gauge birds in the afternoon. HOA winners were Matt Bartosch, after winning a shoot-off of 191’s with runner-up Scott Hazlett, and Tom Shields, third.
Bartosch won the 12-gauge event with a nice 99; 12 shooters participated. Class winners were Hazlett (B), Greg Grove (C), Rich Rothrock (D) and George Gleich (E).
A nice lunch was provided including hot sausage sandwiches, potato salad and a variety of tasty cookies. Thanks to Don Steinert for his efforts.
Of 14 participants in the 28-gauge event, Mark Jones shot a 95 and emerged as Champion. Class winners included Bartosch, Hazlett, John Avolio and Grove, respectively, in AA, B, C and D Classes.
Thanks to Brian Steinert and John Avolio for registration, scorekeeping and other administrative duties. Refereeing was handled by Don and Brian Steinert and Lance and Carl Biddle. Marie Palmer made attractive shooting towels which were awarded to the top three HOA finishers.
Clairton is a dynamic club hosting many shooting activities. It is great to see the return of registered skeet there!
