Sage Hill Clay Sports, in Reno, Nevada

Under mostly typical Nevada sunny skies, Sage Hill Clay Sports hosted The 2004 Nevada state Championships on August 12, 13, 14, & 15. This years state shoot was the largest ever held with 186 competitors in the main event and nearly 200 participants over the span of the four day event.

Day one saw the small gauge events being played out at Sage Hill Clay Sports, while the Capital City Gun Club in near-by Carson City, Nevada hosted the Nevada State FITASC Championship event with the cooperation of Sage Hill Clay Sports. Capital City Gun Club manager and professional target setter Dave Feidler laid out some truly awesome target displays, these presentations were certainly much to the liking of Reno, Nevada shooter Andy Humphriss who took home the FITASC top prize.

As the shoot moved into day two all events moved over to Sage Hill Clay Sports where field manager Rodney Bullard took over and masterfully coordinated great target displays and the maintenance of nearly fifty traps.

Fridays preliminary event saw Gardnerville, Nevada's Steve White edge out the likes of All American Albert Bogetti Jr. by a single target posting the winning score of 97.

On Saturday the shoot shifted into the main event, after the first leg of the 200 target State Championship a handful of shooters were within grasp of a potential State Championship, most notably was the 2003 State Champion Beau Nyrehn from Elko, Nevada. Beau posted the days high in state score with a 99 also in with a 99 was California's Albert Bogetti Jr. and after the dust settled on Sunday Beau Nyrehn managed to repeat as Nevada's State Champion and Albert Bogetti Jr. won the Open Championship.

The only remaining major Nevada state Championship that needed to be decided was the Five Stand. This would prove to be a real shoot out by two Reno, Nevada shooters, Jim Crouse and Woody Chesnut. After the initial ten bird shoot off failed to produce a winner the shoot out went to miss and out with Jim Crouse taking the win.

Much of the success of this years Nevada State Shoot must go to Darlene Bullard, owner/manager of Sage Hill Clay Sports and her most capable staff. In addition Darlene's donation of a Beretta 391 shotgun to be given away at a drawing open to all shooters, and nearly $10,000. in added money and prizes from the Nevada Sporting Clays Association helped to create interest in the shoot.
