In 1982, Lisa was introduced to the sport of
trapshooting by her Dad, Art Salt. Lisa quickly
decided that this was going to be the sport she was
going to focus on. A true competitor, she is also a
top Real Estate agent in her home town of Vernon,
British Columbia.
Lisa quickly rose to the top of the trapshooting
ladder in 1983 by winning her first Provincial
Singles Championship. She has won that title 7
additional times as well as the HAA 10 times and
Ladies doubles 12 times. Lisa hit the 27 yard line
in 2002 and has 6 100 straights to her name so far.
Lisa shot her 100,000th target at the North Okanagan
Trap & Skeet Club in 2004.
Sixteen years on the PITA Ladies All-Star Team, Lisa
achieved the top spot in 1993,1994 and 2004. In
2001, she held the high handicap average for the
Province of B.C.
While attending the University of British
Columbia in Vancouver, Lisa concentrated on
International Trapshooting. In 1985, she won a
bronze medal along with her two teammates at the
World Trapshooting Championships in Montecatini,
Italy.
Lisa’s trapshooting career highlights include
traveling around and shooting all over Western
Canada and the Untied States with her Dad. She
specifically recalls a shoot in Las Vegas where she
and her Dad won 13 trophies.
Over the years, her “family” of trapshooters has
grown to include not only her Dad, and her
brother-in-law, Bruce Davies, but also her sister,
Terry Davies, three of her nephews and now her
husband, Gord Fowler.
Lisa is the youngest addition to the Hall of Fame
thus far, and we congratulate her for her
outstanding accomplishments.
Art Salt (2007)
Growing up in the Depression, Art was an
entrepreneur at heart. His childhood pastimes
catching gophers and laying railroad ties eventually
turned into the more lucrative businesses of real
estate development and car, truck and heavy
equipment sales. Lucky thing—Art shot his first
registered shoot in 1953 and he was going to need
the money!
Art has been an active member of a number of trap
clubs, most notably one of the original life members
of the North Okanagan Trap & Skeet Club. He was one
of the founding members and has donated not only
traps and voice calls, but his equipment, his
manpower and more than anything, his time. Art is
responsible for running most of the practice at the
club for the last 45 years. He was President for 8
of those years and a Director since its inception in
1962.
Shooting 6 100 straights and 43 99’s in PITA targets
alone, Art’s successes in trap have been many. In
1992, 1993, and 1994 he was on the PITA Veteran’s
All Star Team. In 1994, he was in the first position
on the first team. Art made the 27 yard line in
1976.
One of Art’s memorable shooting highlights occurred
in 1962. He fell onto some tough times in business
and was unable to shoot that year. One weekend, he
decided to go and say hello to his friends, He was
talked into shooting the handicap, walked up to the
line, shot a 98 and took all the money. Another
notable win was at the B.C. Provincial Championships
in 2003 at age 81. Art put together a 99 in the
handicap, three targets over the next score, and won
the Handicap.
In September, at age 84, Art will be shooting his
200,000th target at Vernon. A true ambassador of the
sport, we welcome Art into the PITA Hall of Fame.
