Grafton County Fish & Game Association

The 2026 Dave Tilden new year skeet challenge was held on February 15. Shooters gained entry into the final round by virtue of having shot 25 straight in either skeet or wobble skeet during the month of January and early February. The final round consisted of 12 shots: a simultaneous pair and a reverse simultaneous pair from stations 3, 4 and 5. Fred Davis, a prior winner, came out on top with a total of 10. Michael Clark had 9 for Second place. Rick DiDomenico and Dave Tilden tied for Third with 8 each. Congratulations to all!
