Bartlow dominates at Grand American Trapshooting
Sparta Murphysboro High School senior Mason Bartlow delivered a standout run at the Grand American Championships in Sparta over a 10 day span. He claimed first, second and third in multiple Junior Division events and earned Junior Champion honors in the Super 500 Doubles and Handicap, HOA in 1,500 targets, and Champion of Champions for juniors. He attributed gains to maturity and mental prep, noting wind makes targets challenging. He had previously competed in the U.S. Open and several state shoots, missing only 10 of 700 targets at the Central Zone Shoot.
