-Kippen. resident:top Canadian at shoot
Brad Mann, a resident of the Kippen area,
has just returned from the United States
after competing in the. week-long Grand
American Tap Shoot -in Vandalia, Ohio, and
he has brought with him some impressive
results. •
The 25 -year-old marksman shot 98 out of a
possible 100 targets to tie for high Canadian
shooter and finish in a tie for eighth spot
overall in the competition. That's nothing to
sneeze at, considering the competition is
made of 4,700 of the best trap shooters from
the U:S., Canada and Europe.
Mr. Mann has entered the Grand
American handicap category for the past
five years, but this is the first time he was.
able to finish in the money. He was awarded
a trophy and cash prizes` for his
performance.
He noted the competition is of a high
calibre because participants have to pay
their own way. Those who aren't capable of
winning aren't likely to'spend• $1,000 for a,
week of shooting.
"It (the coinpetition) is a lot tougher down
there because it's all the good shooters that
go," he said. •
Mr. Mann was surprised he shot as well as
he did, but he noted he was more accurate
than usual 'during -the competition; largely•
because of the range.
"They have more consistent targets than
we have in Ontario," he explained.
"They fly truer and break up. nicer. You
have a more 'consistent 'idea of which way
they're going to fly = if one flys there, the

Now that he has succeeded at the Grand
American Trap Shoot, thing won't get better
for Mr. Mann in next year's competition. He .
Will be given' a higher handicap, that is
measured by the number of yards the gun-
ner stands away from the trap, and, Mr.
Mann is not willing to make any predictions
for the 1988 shoot.
Mr.Mann.was introduced to trap shooting
in 1976 by his grandfather, John Anderson,•
and has been Mr. Mann's prime source of in-
struction for the past 11 years. •
"I've improved a lot, score -wise," he said.
"The whole thing is concentration."
Mr. Mann has won six other class shoots
this season. He uses a Perazzi MX3 12 gauge
shot gun.

certainly can't ",complain about this sum-
mer's weather. Every weekend since April
has been'fine for golf and perhaps the only
complaint in thls area would be for lack of
rainfall. Long dusty drives were the result
of fairway shots allowing many golfers the
benefit of extra yards.
Although September and even October
can often turn out to be glorious golfing
months the course generally quietens down.
Basically it's because we are calendar
golfers in Caaada. The true die-hards are
