That's a Wrap! Recap of the 2026 Golden West Grand
- May 14, 2026
Did you miss out on the Golden West Grand? Here's the highlights of LPRG's flagship trap shoot event.
We've wrapped up an action packed week at the Golden West Grand! Over 200 shooters across 8 states joined the 2026 Golden West Grand trap shoot, with a great time had by all.
The week started with early bird shooters joining 12–time All American trap shooter and Trap Talk co-host, Zach Nannini for a trap shoot clinic. This was an excellent way for folks to get warmed up for the week to come, and to polish up their skills for the event!
Here's the highlights of our 5 day event:
- Day 1: Our busiest day, with 3 events scheduled. Preliminary Doubles, Class Singles and the Russ McLennan Handicap. Check out the recap of the day with our premier sponsor Ron Prescott and LPRG general manager Bryan Weeks.
- Day 2: The fun continued with Class Doubles and GWG Preliminary Handicap events. We were able to catch up with the Golden West Grand Shoot Director, Annette Spiteri, with the recap of day 2.
- Day 3: Friday brought the first of the championship events with the GWG Doubles Championship, followed by the Don Bonillas Handicap. We had several heavy hitters with us for the daily recap of the event, check it out!
- Day 4: Saturday brought the Jim Wyllie Singles Championship. With 200 targets, this all day event was a must attend event! Bryan Weeks took a moment to give an update about this very busy day!
- Day 5: We closed our flagship event with the Norm Volponi Handicap followed by the GWG Handicap Championship. Congratulations to this years handicap champion, Heath Habib with a score of 96!
