Weather at the Sportsmen's Club Mid-America Trapshoot kept many shooters indoors as rain, wind, and cold fouled the 16-yard preliminaries. Despite tough conditions, shooters like Ellie Carl and Edwin Elam posted strong scores while Buck Ingram noted wet scoring sheets caused delays. The handicap title will be decided in a Sunday shootoff.
