Gerald Broten, known affectionately as Jerry, began his illustrious shotgun shooting career in 1978 at the Vancouver Gun Club. Over the years, he has served as Director, Vice President, and President multiple times, all while growing his electrical contracting business, Lilly Electric, and raising a family.

Jerry has been a dedicated ATA delegate and Vice-President of the BCTA, holding life memberships in both the ATA and PITA organizations. He has traveled extensively across Canada and the USA, often with his family, to participate in shooting events. Known for his hands-on approach, Jerry was frequently found fixing trap machines or performing gunsmithing on the tailgate of his truck, sometimes needing to be pulled away from helping others just to take his own turn at shooting.

He competed at more than 44 different clubs across North America, from Alaska to Hawaii and took on significant tasks at clubs beyond his own, helping to improve facilities and equipment to accommodate more shooters. Jerry was always ready to diagnose and repair trap machines or assist in any capacity needed to ensure the success of shooting events.

Jerry's contributions extended beyond his technical skills. He started G&R Sales, specializing in Kreighoff shotguns, gunsmithing and ammunition sales, often providing repairs at little to no cost. His generosity also led him to provide essential resources like targets and trap machines to support smaller clubs facing financial difficulties.

Together with his wife, Rene, Jerry raised four children while managing his businesses and volunteering thousands of hours at various clubs. His shooting accomplishments are impressive, with 444,100 PITA targets and 184,900 ATA targets, with a combined total of 629,000 targets.

Jerrys commitment to the sport went beyond the shooting range. He is known for his karaoke performances, spreading joy and camaraderie among fellow shooters long after the competitions ended. His passion and enthusiasm for the sport and its community have left a lasting impact, making him a deserving inductee into the CTA Hall of Fame. His contributions to trapshooting are and have been appreciated by all.

Lisa was introduced to the sport of trapshooting by her Dad, Art Salt, in 1982. At 15 years old, Lisa quickly decided that this was going to be the sport she was going to focus on. Her competitive nature and diligent focus have allowed her to become not only a top trapshooter, but also a top real estate agent in her hometown of Vernon, British Columbia. Lisa quickly rose up the trapshooting ladder to win her first Ladies Provincial Singles Championship in 1983.

While living in Vancouver and attending the University of British Columbia, Lisa spent 3 years of her trapshooting career concentrating on International Trapshooting. In 1985 she proudly won a bronze medal, along with her 2 female teammates, at the World Trapshooting Championships in Montecatini, Italy. Shortly thereafter she gave up the supposed fame and glory of international trap for the more social and friendly sport of American trapshooting.

Lisa has since won the Provincial Handicap (1997), the BC Ladies Provincial Singles title a total of 17 times, as well as the High All Around 24 times the Ladies Handicap 4 times and the Ladies Doubles 24 times. She has also won titles at the PITA Grand Pacific Championships, 3 doubles titles, 1 singles and the Ladies HOA and HAA 1 time.

She has 9 - 100 straights in singles to her name thus far. Lisa hit the 27 yard line in 2002 and has received many honorary punches from that spot. Lisa has made the BC Provincial All Stars 23 times, 21 as High Lady and twice on the Provincial First Team.

Lisa has recorded 26 years on the PITA All Star Team, achieving the top spot in first position on the Ladies 1st Team in 1993, 1994, 2004, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2016. Lisa is the first Canadian Lady shooter to make the CTA All Stars at its inception in 2021 and she has repeated that achievement every year since, 3 times so far!
In 2001 Lisa held the BC Provincial High Handicap average.

Lisa’s trapshooting career highlights include travelling around and shooting all over Western Canada and the United States with her Dad and later with her husband Gord Fowler. Lisa shot her 100,000th PITA target at the North Okanagan Trap and Skeet Club in 2004.

In 2007 Lisa was inducted into the PITA Hall of Fame and at that time, was the youngest inductee to achieve the honour. In 2012 Lisa was the first Lady shooter to receive the PITA AA27AA recognition. In 2019 she shot her 200,000th PITA target, again at NOTSC. She shot her 50,000th ATA target at Redlands CA in December 2023.

AVERAGES:
Between 1993 and 2023, Lisa’s PITA aggregate average has only dropped below 90% 4 times and not once dropped below 89%. She has amassed 27 seasons aggregate averages of 90% or better. 17 of these 91% or better, 3 of them 92% or better.

In Doubles Lisa has 12 years of 91% or better, 2 years of 92% or better, 3 years of 93% or better and 2 years with a 94+ average. These top years weren’t light target years either; she hit a 94.48 on 4150 Doubles targets and a 94.36 on 1650 targets.

Lisa’s best Handicap season was 2001 when her average was 90.18 on 1700 targets. This was the year she held the Provincial high average for Handicap in BC.

Lisa has shot over 210,000 PITA targets but she also shoots a significant number of ATA targets. At the time of research, Lisa had registered 48750 ATA targets with lifetime averages of:
94.94 SINGLES
88.20 HANDICAP
91.38 DOUBLES

Her Aggregate Lifetime ATA average is 91.51. Her two highest aggregate averages were in 2017, 93.57 on 3050 targets and 2015, 93.02 on 3600. Both from the 27 yardline. Over her PITA and ATA career Lisa has recorded an incredible 33 seasons with aggregate averages of 90% or better, over 2/3rds of them while standing at the most humbling place on the trap line, the 27 yard line.

Lisa’s father, Art Salt was a founding member of the North Okanagan Trap and Skeet Club and Lisa has been an active volunteer and supporter of the club throughout her shooting career. She is currently the club secretary and has been since 2010.

Trapshooting for Lisa has also really been a family affair; with at one point no less than 8 close family members all shooting, her Dad of course, the founding patriarch; Art Salt, her husband Gord, her sister Terry and brother in law Bruce Davies and their sons, Lisa’s nephews; Jared, Dustin and Cody.

All these achievements and Lisa has remained humble, a friendly face wherever you might run into her, she is welcoming and encouraging to new shooters and seasoned claybusters alike!

One of the nicest people you could hope to run into at a trap club.

Dianne Wood was an avid, competitive trapshooter and among the most winning shooters from Ontario. Over her career, Dianne won the Lady I and Lady II Ontario Provincial ATA Championships 18 times. Dianne was also a 7-time Canadian Lady I Champion and a 4-time Lady II Champion. In 2018, Dianne won the Atlantic Provinces Open Lady Singles Championship.

Dianne shot her first 100 straight in Singles at the Edmonton Gun Club during the 2004 Canadian Trapshooting Championships and was very proud to have her name added to the club plaque acknowledging shooters that completed the milestone at the club. Dianne was inducted into the Ontario Trapshooting Hall of Fame 2013 and completed her goal of shooting trap in every province in Canada. She did that in 2018 while attending the Atlantic Provinces ATA Provincial Shoot in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia with a quick detour to Prince Edward Island.

Dianne lived in London, Ontario and shot at the Crumlin Sportmen’s Association. She registered her first ATA target in 1980 and attained a lifetime ATA registered target count of 71 800 Singles with a 93.41 average, 63 650 Handicap targets with an 85.08 average and 40 200 Doubles with a 77.87 average. Dianne’s longest handicap yardage assignment was the 25.5 yard line. She got there with a ½ yard punch in 2019 with a 96 at the Missouri Trapshooting Association in Lynn Creek, Missouri.

Dianne and husband Jim (past CTA President and Canadian Champion) attended shoots all over Canada and in the United States. Dianne’s favourite places to shoot were the Canadian Trapshooting Championships no matter the location, Lynn Creek, Missouri and the Atlantic Provinces ATA Provincial Shoot.

Sadly, Dianne passed away on December 23, 2023, just a short time after a cancer diagnosis. True to Dianne’s character, she remained positive and determined to fight until the very end. Dianne’s celebration of life ceremony drew family, friends, and shooters from all over. The Dianne Wood Memorial Shoot held at the Crumlin Sportsmen’s Association threw over 22 000 targets and had 16 squads of Dianne’s friends from far and wide register for the shoot.

Harry Humby began trapshooting in 2006. His love for the sport was immediate. As with all his previous hobbies, Kung Fu, amateur radio, Kendo (two black belts), swimming (National Lifeguard), and photography, Harry studied to learn everything he possibly could about trapshooting and he practised enthusiastically.

Harry participated in his first ATA shoot in 2007. During the years that followed, up until the time of his death from pancreatic cancer in 2022, he won more than 160 awards.
Shooting in Manitoba, at his home club, Winnipeg Trap and Skeet Club, and elsewhere around the province, Harry acquired many treasured trophies and, more importantly, many good friends.

In Manitoba Provincial Trapshooting tournaments, Harry’s highlighted wins include the Singles Veteran Championships in 2012 and 2013 and five Singles Senior Veteran Championships between 2015 and 2022. At the Canadian Trapshooting Championship in 2010 he won a Handicap Veteran award and in 2012 received the Handicap Veteran, Singles Class A, and the High All Around Veteran awards.

Harry also participated in American trapshooting tournaments. His most prized awards in Missouri State Shoots were for Singles AA Class in 2012 and Singles Senior Veteran in 2017. At the Southern Grand in Florida, he won a Singles Senior Veteran award in 2014. In Casa Grande, Arizona, Harry’s name was carved on a wooden wall plaque in 2020 because he shot 100 of their unique, green targets, straight.

At the Tucson Spring Grands, Harry’s best achievements were winning five Singles Class A awards and two Singles Senior Veteran awards in the same tournament (2020). In the Singles Championship, Harry was one of only four shooters (out of a total of 587) who shot 200 straight. In recognition of his being awarded the Singles Senior Veteran Champion, his picture appeared, along with those of the other winners, on the front cover of the April 2020 Trap & Field magazine.

Harry competed in 11 Grand American World Trapshooting Championships, winning a total of 22 awards. His most prestigious wins there were the Grand American Handicap Veteran Championship (2011), the high Canadian award (2011), a Champion of Champions Runner-up (2015), and two Singles Senior Veteran awards in 2017.

Between 2010 and 2020, Harry shot 100 straight 37 times and 200 straight four times. He attained the 27 Yard Line in Handicap in 2013. By 2019, he had shot 50,000 ATA registered singles targets, and, by 2022, he had shot 50,000 ATA registered doubles targets. Trap & Field magazine wrote and published an article about Harry in their November 2017 edition.

Harry’s love of trap shooting and the skills that he developed as a high-school teacher and vice principal (28 years), a weekend wedding photographer (20 years), a volunteer swimming instructor (15 years), and a member of the Canadian board for a Christian orphanage/boarding school in Uganda (17 years), helped him make a meaningful contribution to the sport of trapshooting.

From 2014 to 2022, Harry was a working member and the trap chair of the Winnipeg Trap and Skeet Club board. During the last three of those years, he was its president. He also served on the board of the Manitoba Trapshooting Association for four years and then, for two years, as its president.

Harry was a certified ATA/NRA Level I coach. In 2019, he taught a coaching course in Brandon and in Winnipeg. The shooters who completed this course received Level 1 Trapshooting Coach certification which was recognized by both MTA and Sports Manitoba. For Harry, a highlight of every week during the spring season (from 2014 to 2022) was helping to coach sub juniors and juniors at Winnipeg Trap and Skeet Club.

Harry and his wife Francine, his three children and their spouses, and his seven grandchildren, were delighted when his name was added to the Manitoba Trapshooting Hall of Honour in 2022. The Harry Humby Silver Shoot that Winnipeg Trap and Skeet Club held, in Harry’s memory, was wonderful. The Humby family are also truly honoured by Harry’s 2023 induction into the Canadian Trapshooting Association Hall of Fame.
