For Trapshooters - Leo Harrison Has Stroke
I was over on ts.com, and a thread ran over there stating that one of the top trapshooters in the world, Leo Harrison, III, suffered a stroke at Sparta, IL, and was taken to St. Louis by helicopter for treatment.
No firm word on condition. Prayers to his wife Karla, and family.

Enjoyed watching Leo shoot at many Missouri State Shoots as well as the Grand and other state shoots. A genuine class act. Prayers sent.

This is tragic news. Leo is one of the best things to ever happen to Trap shooting and shooting in general. I hope all turns out well.

Have heard that Leo is recovering. No evident heart damage, and the clots at the brain are considered by the docs to be disolvable. He is champing at the bit to get out of the hospital, but will be in for a little while.

Darn, one of my close friends is his 1st cousin. I'll have to make sure he finds out. I shot IPSC with his dad, Leo II.

Sorry to hear. I certainly hope he was treated quickly!
I have studied many of his video instructionals to instill more consistency in my game. He is a trap master, and I hope he gets back on the field to instruct and shoot again soon.
Thank you for the update on Leo's condition, Bigolddave.
