Lukas Metz

Lukas Metz our 2011 All State Team Junior member has a vast list of achievements at the young age of 18. Starting at only 11 Lukas speaks about our sport as if he is a seasoned veteran. And after shooting sporting clays for 7 years he has more years in the sport than most of our membership. Lukas a full time student at Lewis and Clark Community College also works part-time at Winchester Trap and Skeet Facility located in East Alton IL.

Lukas' Comments
Bill Peterson helped Nick get started with the basics but does yet have a specific coaching process. He believes that his good hand eye coordination from playing baseball has significantly help his game. Nick would like to keep having fun and suggests we come up with ways to make it easier for newcomers to get started. He believes, and I think we can all agree, the more participants we have the better it will be for all of us. Cheaper, more options and a stronger future.

Lukas Metz' time in this sport and his story is an example we should all follow. He was introduced to our great sport through his father and continues to build a strong bond with him as a result of having this common interest. I would hope that we can all learn from this experience and make an effort to invite a friend to the next tournament or to your next trip to the course. The only way for us to gain new members and build a future for our sport is to do our part. I challenge each person who reads this to invite 1 new person to the course this year.

See you on the course… Dan Grebel
