Dan Reeves, a world renown shotgun exhibition shooter,
co-host of ESPN's "STARSHOT" series, Chief Shooting
Instructor and Captain of "TEAM USA", and owner of Hip Shot!
Productions, was contacted to give Mark and Brian
instruction and watch over their safety. Reeves, who calls
clay target shooting the "ultimate video or pinball game",
declared "I'll have them hitting targets in no time!".
Reeves had just returned from France where he had
captained "TEAM USA" to win the gold medal in "Ball Trap
Pro", a fierce competition that pits the top 64 individual
shooters and the sixteen best 4-man teams in the world
against one another. Reeves had also performed three
exhibition shooting shows a day while in Paris at the
"Hippodrome". Playing to crowds of over 70,000 and receiving
standing ovations, Reeves amazed and mystified while
performing to the beat of American rock music.
Upon returning to the States, Reeves was excited to hear
of the invitation to coach Mark and Brian, explaining "We're
really pleased to have Mark and Brian come to the range to
demonstrate the fun of the sport, as well as the other
positive aspects of clay target shooting and the eye-to-hand
coordination skills that it develops in our youth."
As predicted, with Reeves' help, the guys hit targets
right away, beat two local Sheriffs in a friendly
competition, and received a plaque declaring them to be the
first members of the "DJ's Skeet Shooting Hall of Fame".
