2025 High Noon Shootout

What an amazing day for the High Noon Shootout!

With perfect fall weather and plenty of competitive spirit, this year’s High Noon Shootout was a huge success! Shooters gathered at Horace Shooting Park to test their skills and compete for the title of BIA of the RRV Trap Shoot Champions — and of course, bragging rights.

The 2025 High Noon Shootout Male Top Gun was Mitch Okeson from Sandman Structural Engineers, with a score of 47 out of 50.

The second male top gun was Bill Glauslow with M&J Construction, with a score of 45 out of 50.
