Dear Friend of Virginia Trapshooting,
As we approach the end of the year, I’m writing to you not only as the new President of the Virginia Trapshooting Hall of Fame (VTHoF)— but as someone who cares deeply about preserving the legacy and future of our sport.
For decades, the VTHoF has celebrated the shooters, coaches, and volunteers who built the trapshooting community we enjoy today. Their accomplishments, stories, and commitment deserve to be recognized and carried forward.
Today, we’re working to do more than preserve the past. We’re investing in the future — especially youth trapshooting in Virginia. Your support helps us:
Provide scholarships to junior and collegiate shooters
Offset entry fees for youth competitors
Support and promote the AIM youth program across Virginia
Present annual awards to outstanding Virginia Youth Trapshooting League (VYTL) shooters, recognizing season-long excellence and commitment
Celebrate the achievements of Virginia shooters statewide
The VTHoF is a 100% volunteer-run nonprofit. Every dollar we raise goes directly back into programs that strengthen the sport we all love.
To help expand our efforts in 2026, would you consider a tax-deductible, year-end contribution?

2023 Hall of Fame Inductee
Dean Spiridon Jr.
Dean is known throughout Virginia for his shooting ability and his work in furthering trapshooting for generations to come. He is a four-time ATA All-American and has been selected to state teams in Pennsylvania and Virginia numerous times. Some of Dean’s major wins include 4 Grand American trophies, 13 wins in the Eastern Zone, 32 wins at state shoots, and various other wins. He has shot over 112,000 targets and continues to add to that total every year.
Not only are Dean’s skill and personal shooting accomplishments fantastic, but he has also taken an active role in giving back to the sport that he loves. In 2014, he started a youth shooting team at his local club and then grew that into a state-wide youth trapshooting league the following year. Throughout his time of helping with the league, it has managed to grow tremendously. Dean also serves on the board of directors of the Virginia Trapshooting Hall of Fame, who’s mission is to further youth trapshooting in Virginia.

Virginia Trapshooting Association 2022 Hall of Fame Inductee announcement
Grant Leister
Grant started shooting registered trap in 1993 and continues to do so. He has shot over seventy thousand targets in his trapshooting career and has won various trophies.
Grant served as the treasurer of the Virginia Trapshooting Association (VTA) for more than 20 years. Along with this service, Grant has always been a staple as a shoot off referee during the Virginia State Trapshoots. For a number of years, Grant and his wife, Vickie, assisted in giving out trophies to the winners at the VTA shoots. Both of them always had a smile on their faces and enjoyed hearing about the wins.
I have known Grant for about 30 years now, always a pleasure to shoot with him or discus various aspects of good bourbon or cigars after shooting. He will be a well-deserved addition to the Hall of Fame.
Annual ATA membership renewals are due September 1st.
