James Albert "Jim" Sable - Founder of Clay Target League has passed...

This post is a week late. Jim Sable, the Founder of the Clay Target League passed Sept 22, 2024.

This is from his obituary:

Jim always enjoyed trapshooting and soon after retiring realized participation in the sport, along with memberships at shooting ranges, was declining. The sport needed younger members. Through determination and foresight, and the support of hundreds of volunteer trapshooters, Jim went to high schools and school boards to present a new activity that would allow students, who have their firearm safety certificate, to participate on a school trapshooting team. In 2008 the nonprofit MN State High School Clay Target League was created. Because of its dedicated staff and volunteers, enthusiastic participants, and growth in other states, this activity is now called the USA Clay Target League and is offered to public and private schools, homeschools, and colleges across the country.

 

Rest in peace JIM. You will always be fondly remembered. Roger C.
