PA Hall of Fame: 1988
ATA Hall of Fame: 1974

Beaver defeating Hall of Famer Ned Lilly in
the 1933 Grand American shootoff.

As the 122^nd Pennsylvania State shoot nears, one
must look back to the most unlucky shooter ever to shoot in Pennsylvania. Unlucky because Walter Beaver always faced Steve Crothers in pursuit of state and GAH  championships. --- He more than held his own. In 1933 he won the GAH championship from the than maximum yardage of 25 yards. He than beat Ned Lilly in one of the most historic shootoffs in history. --- Beaver also won two clay target titles, in 1934 and again in 1946. --- He was a 7 time first team All American, back in the days when Jimmy Robinson selected only 6 or 7 members per year. --- Beaver won 21 state titles including 3 singles, 3 doubles, 2 handicap, 7 HAA and 6 HOA, all of these competing against Pennsylvania's greatest champion, Steve Crothers. He finished runner-up 18 times. --- He also won many major title at the Marshall Marathon, the NYAC and Westy Hogans. Back in the day those three shoots were as prestigious the GAH, as they attracted shooters from all over the country, many times by special overnight Pullman "Sleeper" trains. ---  Beaver smoked Camel cigarettes by the crate. No more of his hundreds of sterling silver trophies exist anymore as his wife discarded them all after he died. --- Check out all our state HOF shooters in our world class HOF and museum. 

George Newmaster
Myerstown, PA
1908-1983
PA Hall of Fame: 1989

Newmaster, Orlich & Hiestand. He always shot with
the "big guns." Hell, he was a big gun.

As the 122^nd Pennsylvania State shoot nears, one
must look back to the most incredible shooter ever to shoot in Pennsylvania. --- George Newmaster was a classic high money pigeon champion. --- He was the man you had to beat at any shoot. He won the Singles Class Championship at the GAH in 1960 with one of his dozens of 200 hundred straights. He was a 8 time All American. His wife Lena looked after him at all the shoots. Made the entries, collected his winnings and followed him while he was shooting. --- He won three HOA and three HAA titles at the Pennsylvania State Shoot, as well as one singles, three doubles and one handicap title.

Robert Diefenderfer
Reading, PA
PA Hall of Fame: 1990

As the 122^nd Pennsylvania State shoot nears, one
must look back to the reluctant Reading trapshooting champion and one of the most respected trapshooters to ever shoot in Pennsylvania. --- He owned and managed a huge construction company in Berks County. Once Diefenderfer forfeited the HOA at the Grand American. Another time he turned down the opportunity to be inducted into the ATA Hall of Fame. --- Not only could he shoot clay targets but was one of the top pigeon shooters in his era. --- He burst onto the scene in 1951 as a teenager when he won the state singles title at the Fayette Gun Club, his first of five state singles titles, second most in history. He went on to win the doubles crown 3 time, the handicap title once and the HAA three times. --- In 1963 he won the HOA crown at the Grand American. He finished runner-up in 1956.

Elmer Shaner
Slippery Rock, PA
1862-1939
PA Hall of Fame: 1990
ATA Hall of Fame: 1969

As the 122^nd Pennsylvania State shoot nears, one
must look back to the "Dean of American Trapshooting" and the first ATA president from Pennsylvania. --- He managed all the PSSA state tournaments in the early part of the 20th century. He was a huge force in founding the PSSA on that hot, summer evening of August 21st, 1890 at the Crosby House in Correy, PA. He was elected the first secretary of the PSSA. --- He never pointed a gun at a registered clay target. --- Shaner was one of the first inductees in the ATA Hall of Fame as well as the PSSA Hall of Fame. --- Like Andy Long after him, he was a former school teacher. Shaner spent over 50 years in trapshooting and attended every Grand American until 1937. He gave the opening address to all the shooters at the Grand fort decades. --- All his travel and housing took a huge toll on his finances and he died destitute at the Masonic Home in Elizabethtown, PA in 1939. --- Check out all our state HOF shooters in our world class HOF and museum.  

Charles Newcomb
Philadelphia, PA
1874-1948
PA Hall of Fame: 1990
ATA Hall of Fame: 1999

As the 122^nd Pennsylvania State shoot nears, one
must look back to the amazing Philadelphia trapshooter and the first ATA delegate from Pennsylvania. --- Charlie Newcomb played on the rowdy Camden Electrics professional basketball team at the end of the 19th century. The league was the first professional basketball league in America and a forerunner to the NBA. --- He stood 6' 4" tall and was a gentle giant. He won over 1000 trapshooting tournaments. --- He was by far the most popular trapshooter during his shooting days. --- Between 1915 and 1933 he won two state singles title, two doubles titles and a HAA. But the biggest prize came at the 1915 Grand American held in Chicago, where he captured the coveted Clay Target Championship. --- Mr. Newcomb was very active in the Pennsylvania State Sportsman’s Association throughout his shooting career. --- He was one of the founders of the Quaker City Gun Club of Philadelphia in 1920. A very friendly and gentle man, Newcomb gave to the sport much more than he ever took from it. Newcomb was in a class by himself during the early years of the 20th century. --- Check out all our state HOF shooters in our world class HOF and museum.

Andy Long
Shamokin, PA
1907-1996
PA Hall of Fame: 1988
ATA Hall of Fame: 1982

As the 122^nd Pennsylvania State shoot nears, one
must look back to the most memorable trapshooter and officer in state history. A native of Shamokin, Long was a teacher and banker. He loved dogs, hunting and trapshooting, probably in that order. 
First inductee into Pennsylvania Trapshooting Hall of Fame in 1988 --- He was the PSSA Treasurer for 31 years --- Elected to the ATA Hall of Fame in 1982 --- ATA President in 1972 --- Selected to 7 All American Teams and named captain once and co-captain once --- Winner of 7 major Pennsylvania State titles, including three state doubles crowns.

Steve Crothers
1887-1976
Philadelphia, PA
PA Hall of Fame: 1988
ATA Hall of Fame: 1971

As the 122^nd Pennsylvania State shoot nears, one
must look back to the most amazing trapshooter in
state history. --- In the 5 major titles at the state shoot, Steve Crothers won the singles title 14 times, the doubles title 4 times, the handicap crown 3 times, the HAA title 10 times and the HOA crown 11 times. --- And all the time he had to battle Pennsylvania's Walter Beaver for each title. --- He broke the first 200x200 (1930 in Harrisburg) at the Pennsylvania state shoot AND the first 200x200 (1925 in Vandalia) at the Grand American  --- At the 1932 state shoot at the North End Gun Club in Allentown, he won all 5 of the major events. --- Check out all our state HOF shooters in our world class HOF and museum.
