I am pleased to announce that I have been retained to serve as a monthly columnist in Trap and Field Magazine, the monthly publication of the Amateur Trapshooting Association, headquartered in Sparta, Illinois! I look forward to developing regular content for this publication that is of interest to all clay target shooters and competitors. Published since 1890, as "The Sporting Review", the name was changed to "Trap and Field" in 1956 and has been a leading sports publication ever since! I will continue to do my monthly column (“From the Museum) in Clay Target Nation Magazine.

It was in 1962 that Nashville’s Charlotte Williams (1915-1981) released “Trap Shooter’s Woman”, now a very rare 45 record (remember those?). Charlotte was a bit frustrated that her husband and two sons seemed to keep leaving and going to the gun club. So she wrote and released this single, more as a humorous endeavor than anything. The track has an addictive beat, and along with her southern accent and charm, makes for a fun tune. Clay Target Legends has put together this episode as a bit of fun, and included a lot of vintage images and videos from that time period. Do you recognize any of the folks in this video? You just might. Caution: the song WILL get stuck in your head!

Please help us get these videos out there! Subscribe and SHARE wherever you can!

In 1962 Charlotte Williams recorded a fun tune about her husband and sons who were always leaving for a trap shoot. Here it is, from 63 years ago!
