Evelyn Primm of Los Angeles. First woman to ever shoot from the 27 yard line, as well as the 26 yard line and the 25 yard line. She earned her last punch on April 16, 1955.


 

 

Charles Sparrow Young, a Hall of Fame inductee in 1972, of Springfield, OH, was one of the most colorful trapshooters of all times, and was the first shooter to break 100 straight from back yardage to win the Grand American Handicap (23 yards in 1926) and the first to break a 25-target event in the Grand American Handicap. He had broken 100 straight from 23 yards at Peru, Ind. in 1916, and he broke the 25 straight at the first Grand American Handicap at New York City in 1900 when he shot under the nom de plume of Robin Hood, for whom he worked. Robin Hood was a powder and ammunition company.
