Nat Harris wins at US Open

Nat Harris, a long-time member of TCTC, is now a RU Fitasc Champion at the NSCA’s U. S. Open! Competing in a crowded field with many of the best competitors in the country, Nat shot 21, 17, 20, and 22 for a super Fitasc score of 80. It was enough to earn the title of runner-up champ in the Veteran’s Concurrent. Additionally, Nat tied for the high score shot in Class AA!

Another Tennessean and frequent shooter at TCTC accomplished the near impossible at the US Open. The affable Bill McGuire topped over 1000 shooters to win the preliminary event with an astounding score of 95. Bill is the manager and shooting instructor at Flint Springs Gun Club located near Cleveland, Tennessee. He is known worldwide as one of the finest sporting clays competitors in the world. Congratulations Bill!

Susan Wall, also a TCTC member, placed well at the US Open. In the Ladies Concurrent, Susan earned 5th place in both the Fitasc and 5-stand events. Good shooting, Susan!

Wendell Cherry’s name also appears on the winner’s list. This TCTC member and shooting instructor won M2 in the Preliminary and M3 in the 5-Stand. Let’s not forget that Wendell was crowned the US Open Champion in 2003!

So who is the 2005 U.S. Open Champion? Alabama’s Tré Sides.

The US Open was held at M&M Sporting Clays in New Jersey.

Congratulations to each for their achievements at the U. S. Open!
