Here's a photo of a muzzle and trap shoot event at the Bluffton centennial in 1961. This took place in what is now the practice field area of Harmon Field. If we are not mistaken the two young men standing on the far left are brothers, Rodney Stratton and Kip Stratton.

Is it possible that Jim Opperman is second from the far right? And who is the young man on his knees shooting. Looks like Ron Badertscher.

Icon viewer comments welcome.
