This guy was an amazing shooter and won about every competition there was to win.His son Joel sells shotguns and his website joeletchenguns.com has a family history section with several articles and interviews about Rudy's life and achievments.

Believe one of his granddaughters is also a championship clay shooter.

IIRC, our esteemed Dr. McCracken had a post about shooting with her a couple of years back.

I've met Rebecca Etchen a couple times at PGC.

She's cute, bright, friendly and turns clay targets into separate molecules with regularity.
