Marlin-Odessa Gun Clubs in action

ODESSA – The 104th year of the Spokesman-Review Inland Northwest Trapshoot began Jan. 9, 2022, with the Marlin and Odessa Gun Clubs again joining forces to participate in the oldest and largest shoot of its kind in the U.S. Trapshooters from Washington, Idaho, Montana and Oregon make up the participating clubs.

After Covid precautions kept some from participating last year, both the newspaper and the club members found it challenging to get back into the swing of this long-time contest. The two clubs are now back to shooting each Sunday for the eight weeks of the contest. The results of the first shoot on Jan. 9 show the Marlin-Odessa club tied for first place with the Yakima Valley Sportsmen, both teams with a score of 98. The Jan. 16 results are given below. Reporting results for the Odessa Club this year is Markus Smith. Marlin’s results are provided by Doug Starkel.
