Frank Troeh shot from San Diego to British Columbia
under all conditions. In 1931, he shot 4,450 singles

with an average of 91.61.
In 1931, Frank made 13 long runs ranging from 103 to
217 and completed 100,000 targets with an average of
over 97%.
In 1931, Frank shot 3,950 singles with an average of
98.30 and 2,300 handicap targets with an average of
91.43. He also had the PITA doubles high average
based on 870 targets with a 91.14.
In 1934 he set a PITA handicap record with 348

In 1939 it was written that Frank Troeh’s average in
handicap shooting had never been equaled in the
history of trapshooting. In that same year, Frank
won all four championship events at the Oregon State
Shoot: singles, handicap, doubles and HAA. It was
the first time any shooter won all four championship
events at any one state shoot.
The records set by Frank were unheard of at the time
and some of them have yet to be duplicated. His
averages and numerous wins continued until his last
registered targets in 1959.
