My final year in the Sub Junior category this past year had me aiming for All American. I went to a Bartholow Shooting Clinic at my local club, in Southeast Iowa, my first year of shooting and they helped me with the basics of trap shooting. Two years later, I needed help fine-tuning my shots, and for someone to look for my little inconsistencies. I traveled to South Dakota in April for another clinic.  I was thankful for the one-on-one help I received. It was exactly what I needed! The Bartholow team was quick to pick up on little things I was doing that I could improve on. Being a one-eyed-shooter myself, it was great to be helped by another one-eyed-shooter. Besides the help with my shooting, I was thankful for the help Buddy gave me on my mental game. I left the clinic confident. Luckily, before The Grand I was able to attend another Bartholow Clinic, again in Iowa. It was a good refresher before the final competition of the 2019 season for me. They worked with me on my shooting, reminded me of the importance of taking care of myself with sleeping and eating well, and to not to take my eye off the goal of becoming an All American. Their confidence in me and encouragement was one of the many reasons I was able to reach my goal this year, first team sub junior All American 2020.
