Regardless of Conference Mizzou Shooting Team a Winner
November 9, 2011 by Jenny Romanin · Leave a Comment
Mizzou Shotgun Team hosted their annual Tiger Open Shoot for the Midwestern Circuit of collegiate shooting. This event was held October 29th & 30th at the Prairie Grove Shooting Sports in Columbia, MO. This competition brought together approximately 50 shooters from University of Missouri, Missouri S&T Rolla, Missouri State University, Kansas State University and University of Wyoming. This was a 300 target shoot; 50 American Skeet targets, 50 International Skeet targets, 50 American Trap targets, 50 Modified International Trap (MIT) targets and 100 Sporting Clays targets.
While the mornings were chilly, the weekend was filled with beautiful autumn days. Ryan Mason swept this competition by breaking 269 targets out of 300 and earning High Over-All Male. He placed 1st in Sporting Clays (85/100), 1st in American Skeet (49/50), 1st in International Skeet (41/50) and shot a perfect score leading to 1st place MIT (50/50). He also placed 4th in American Trap. His hours of hard work and practice lead to his 21 target lead. Finally, he and fellow teammate, Ian Love, won the flurry. We would also like to congratulate Ian Love and Daniel Perotti who tied for Runner Up High Over-all Male by breaking a respectable 248 targets our of 300.

Looking to the Winners of this Weeks BIG Game
October 6, 2011 by CollegiateCamo · Leave a Comment
CollegiateCamo loves a good football game and there are several coming up this weekend.
Our “kick off” decal promotion for the winners of last week’s games has been a big success!
This decision isn’t like the games the big boys pick…it’s not a “Game Day” event.
But still, it’s a tough decision to choose just one game as our big game of the week . However, this weeks choice is clear. It has to be an inter office choice–Kansas State verses Mizzou.
CollegiateCamo has many connections on both sides; makes for an office divided for sure!
Which team will come out to be the big winner?
The local sports writers have it a “neck in neck” game. Mizzou had last week off so will that give them the needed rest for their injured weary team to play to victory or will K State continue the momentum from their good fortune streak of wins this season and have the bragging rights?
Could Mizzou be distracted about moving to another conference?
Could K State have the advantage playing at home?
Well, whatever the outcome there will be lots of “jabs taken” at the office next week.
Our BIG promotion for the BIG Game this week is that the Winners team FANS will receive 20% off their entire decal order. (Discount Code posted after the game)
Good luck to all…..

“Mizzou Tiger Open” Benefit Shoot a Successful Fund Raiser
August 23, 2011 by CollegiateCamo · Leave a Comment
School is upon us, and it’s a great time to hit the shooting range. At Mizzou, the shooting team will have a few more dollars at its disposal to recruit new members to the University of Missouri Shooting Team.
The “Mizzou Tiger Open” Benefit Shoot was held July 30, 2011 was a huge success. Many local shooting sports fans came out to join in the fun of the Benefit Shoot, as well as one family that traveled from as far as Florida to attend!
The reunion with the 1971-72 Mizzou Shooting Team and the current team was a huge success. Only one member from the former shooting team lineup was unable to attend.
It was a scorching Missouri July with the temperature reaching the upper ’90s, but no one seemed to let the heat get them down.
CollegiateCamo’s own Pro Staffer Jenny Romanin traveled from Colorado to be a part of the event. She was on that day, and placed 2nd in Sporting Clays in the 50 target division.
Two of the 1971-72 team members placed, too – Denny Spurling and Bill Fretwell. Oh yeah, they still have it!
The following talented shooters won awards at the Mizzou Tiger Open Benefit Shoot:
- CHAMPION Sporting Clays – Ralph Gates
- 1st Place Sporting Clays 50 Targets – Jon Doolittle
- 2nd Place SPorting Clays 50 Targets – Jenny Romanin
- 1st Place Sporting Clays 100 Targets – Garret Benskin
- 2nd Place Sporting Clays 100 Targets – Warren Pinson
- 1st Place American Trap – Denny Spurling
- 2nd Place American Trap – Bill Fretwell
Congrats to all our winners and best of luck to the 2011-2012 Mizzou Shooting Team!

The heat has been monstrous in the Midwest. This heat has outdoorsmen and outdoorswomen begging for mercy from the 100+ degree weather and wanting fall to hurry up and get here! (We won’t mention college football season or the opening day of duck or dear season!) Quite frankly, the heat is putting a damper on my fishing and interfering with my clay shooting. We can’t change the weather, but we can offer you some relief in the wallet! Take 10% off your whole order at www.collegiatecamo.com when you use the discount code FRIEND at checkout.
Mizzou Shooting Team Fundraiser

Ryan Mason & Larry Houston have a very special friendship that is bound by their loyalty to the University of Missouri Tigers and their love for shooting sports. Ryan is this years reigning ACUI champ for Men’s Combined Trap Events; Larry was on the 1972 Mizzou team that won the ACUI International Trap championship.
They met this year at the Kansas State “Meet me at the Crossroads” collegiate event in which several collegiate teams traveled to Kansas City from as far away as Virginia Tech to compete for titles.
It was a match made in Heaven! They began discussing old times; reunion ideas; shooting events….and the Tiger Open concept was born. Ryan has done all the planning and logistics and Larry has contacted all his former team mates from 1971 & 72 to invite them to attend. They are both surprised at the interest and the response from former team mates that plan to travel back to Columbia for a fun weekend of camaraderie and shooting.
We asked Larry about the team back in 1971 and this is the report we got:
“In 1971 there wasn’t a shot gun team at Mizzou; I learned that other colleges were competing nationally and started recruiting my quail hunting buddies to form a team. Few of them had any experience with shooting clay targets. We all practiced regularly. At that time the ACUI tournament was held at the Lake of the Ozarks at the Missouri Trap Shooters Association grounds. Our team competed there in 1971 and won 2nd place in International Trap and placed in the top 10 teams for American Trap. The 2nd year (1972) the team won the International Trap division and I took 2nd place in Individual Trap, losing by 1 target to Steve Carmichael. That year we took 2nd place in American Trap. Due to our performance, all of the team members received an invitation to the Olympic Regional Trials in San Antonio. Bill Fretwell and I drove to San Antonio from Missouri and competed. I was the winner of the gold medal in the college division. Because of that I received an invitation to the Olympic Trials for the 1972 Munich Olympics. It was an honor to be among the approximately 75 shooters in the nation that received the invitation.
Since that time I’ve only been in contact with 1 of my former team mates. When Ryan and I began discussing a reunion event to benefit the current team we got really excited. Many of my teammates plan to attend.”
CollegiateCamo.com is very happy to announce that we will be sponsoring the first ever Tiger Open that will directly benefit the University of Missouri’s shooting team. Come out and meet present national awards winners from the MU team and members from the 1972 ACUI International Trap Team Champions will be there!
The event is being held on July 30-31st, 2011 at Prairie Grove Shotgun Sports in Columbia, MO. The event opens at 9 am on July 30 with the sporting clays event and lasts until 2 pm. The fun continues on Sunday with the trap and wobble trap event.
For the GPS-enabled folks, the address to the fund raiser is:
Prairie Grove Shotgun Sports
1420 County Road 276
Columbia, MO 65202
Awards will be presented to the top shooters and don’t forget all the great camo MU Tigers items that will be available for sale at the booth! Come have a great time supporting a great cause! We look forward to seeing you there!

2011 Annual Clay Target Championships in Texas
April 18, 2011 by TannerThorfinnson · Leave a Comment
Written by Pro-Staff Team Member Tanner Thorfinnson
Texas is home of the National Shooting Complex in San Antonio, and also home to the 2011 Annual Clay Target Championships. This tournament involves colleges from around the country, including Colorado State University, University of Wyoming, Kansas State University, Oklahoma State University and many others.
This tournament lasted about one week, with the competitors shooting in the following events: Five-Stand Sporting Clays, Sporting Clays, International Trap, International Skeet, American Skeet and American Trap.
A team member and I got to experience much of the great hunting that the great state of Texas has to offer. After we shot skeet on Sunday, we took off to a little town called Mason, which is about an hour and 40 minutes from San Antonio. There we each harvested a ram. He took a Texas Dahl and I took a Corsican. Not a bad way to end a Sunday!
Overall, the Annual Clay Target Championships is more than just a competition. It’s a chance to bond with other people that share the same interests, and it is a chance to experience what happens outside the walls of your college town.
College Scholarships for Outdoorsmen

If there are any two things close to our hearts they are colleges and outdoor sports. So it brings huge smiles to our faces to read about scholarships being given out nationwide to top notch outdoorsmen, shooters and conservationists who want to pursue successful careers anywhere in the field.
These are just of the few scholarships for outdoorsmen we have heard about. What other scholarships should outdoorsmen, hunters, fishers, shooters and conservationists apply for to pay for college?
Texas Big Game Awards Scholarship
Wildlife & Fisheries Science Scholarships
Mule Deer Conservation Scholarships
