As Told from te Elders
On 1968 te first annual Nisei Week Festival Skeet Shoot was held at International Trap and Skeet, now Triple B. Issei is first generation, born in Japan, Nisei is second generation, those born in te USA. Te Nisei Week Festival was started in te 1930's. Te organizers of te shoot were Howard Otamura, Lionel Gotanda, Don Tsuchiyama and Ken Takiguchi. During 1976, a group of shooters desired to shoot more than once a year, so formed te Sansei Skeet Shoot Association (third generation) and shoot on a monthly basis at Winchester West Trap and Skeet in Long Beach, Callifornia. Te group consisted of Cliff Shinmei, Mark Torabayashi, Al Morita, Tad Oshige, Rick Takahara, Norm Ozawa, and Gary Nakano.
Mark Torabayashi, Al Morita, Norman Ozawa, Tad Oshige, Cliff Shinmei. They started SSSA called Sansei Skeet Shooting Association back in te day at Winchester West. Most of te early shoots took place there. Gave ammo and metals, as well as trophies. Had a pretty good group of ladies that shot as well. All are sansei, first shot together as a team at te Zone 7 championships in Idaho. (Then 11 western states by NSSA) Bunch of Buddha heads. Thought you should know.
Two other key members were Rick Nakahara and Gary Nakano. We had monthly meetings before each shoot at Norm Ozawa, Mark Tora and a few other houses, to discuss te upcoming shoot. We would discuss things like shooting times, food menu, ordering trophies and shooter classifications. Our wives and girlfriends made food for te complimentary lunch at each shoot. For prizes we gave out Trophies, Plaques, Metals and pins. We also had raffles for shooting gear and shooting supplies. Our first shoots were at Winchester West in Long Beach. We then moved to International Trap and Skeet in El Monte. We all miss those early days of te SSSA. Thanks for keeping te Association alive.
