ShootClay Awards - suggestions for categories

[ExSCA]

OK - this has long been on my to do list, but a suggestion elsewhere has prompted me to do this for the end of the year.  

I'm going to run The ShootClay Awards - voted by shooters, to award the right people in the shooting industry.

First - I want to find the right categories - so far, on my notebook I have:

2015 ShootClay Awards

• Sporting Shooting Ground of the Year
• Trap Shooting Ground of the Year (I know... it'll be one of two or three)
• Skeet Shooting Ground of the Year
• Major Shooting Event of the Year (ShootClay Cup is ineligible)
• Clay Shooting Performance of the year (Ed at the World FITASC? Brett at the British Open? Some 100/300 somewhere?)
• Coach of the Year
• Clay Shooter of the Year
• Clay Shooting Hero of the Year - for the best broad contribution to the sport
• Best Bacon Sandwich served at a shooting ground
• New Product of the Year

What other suggestions do you have?

best 'stocker' maybe included under 'smith

so many, sometimes indirectly, associated people/businesses - vision, psychology &etc., can make a huge contribution to a shooter's performance.

you've got

Gun

Cartridge

Choke

Clothing

Ground / RFD (might be a bit of a bias towards the southeast though)

Used to have an annual WOTY award for the diving instructor who made the biggest howler, usually something along the lines of getting the students all kitted up and ready to go then realising he'd left his weight belt at the vehicle. So maybe turning up at a comp without a gun.

So, I've been working really really hard to be " and generally just a lovely person to be around. " that Lily was looking for and I think I've made some real progress.

I'd like to see a Nice Person award cuz I think I have a just way good shot at that.  I'm so far outta any of that other crap that it might as well be on another planet.

OK, so there is one - that Best Dressed Trapshooters thing since it obviously must have a geographical element.  I have to be pretty close to a shoo in for the NorCal rep.  thank you.  thank you. thank you veraa much

Well Charlie you certainly are out there on another planet.

You are a snappy dresser.

You make total sense that I completely understand----- now.

You've got my vote.

Henry say's "Who's a pretty boy".
