Tom McKay
Delano, MN
Elected: 1971
Supporting Member
During
the past 25 years, Tom McKay's shooting plus his active
involvement in the Minnesota Trapshooting Association has
certainly qualified him for a Hall of Fame Supporting Member.
In these years of
shooting he has shot at over 251,300 registered targets. He has
been a high average and long yardage shooter for most of these
targets, resulting in his being selected for the State Men's Team
many years. He shot his 100,000th Singles in January of 1987.
It would be hard to
list all of Tom's contributions and activities in the 17 years he
served as a director, vice-president, or president of the MTA.
Tom was Minnesota's ATA delegate for 13 years. While ATA
delegate, he was instrumental in setting up the format of the ATA
Zone shoots and served several years on a committee to establish a
uniform program for the four Central Zone Shoot locations.
He was a member of the
ATA Board that initiated the ATA Youth Trapshooting program.
His many contributions as ATA Delegate are exemplified by the fact
that in all those years he missed only three ATA delegate
meetings.
While he served
as director or an officer of the MTA, Tom was active in selecting
the annual State Teams. He was always involved in many of
the contractual arrangements necessary to the MTA. He was
instrumental in the MTA's incorporation.
Tom always took a very
active part in any discussions at the MTA Board meetings. |
