2026 Opening Event - Polar Bear Shoot

The Rocky Mountain Vintagers held their 2026 opening event at Cherry Creek Family Shooting Center trap range. This was the twentieth year for the Polar Bear shoot which is now named the Kemp Pace Memorial Polar Bear Trap Shoot in honor of one of our original members and avid trap shooter who loved German SxS. Singles and team events were held. Michael Poindexter won first place in singles shoot with Jason Nester and Cody Bahlau tying for second place resulting in a thrilling sudden death shoot off with both shooters breaking target after target until Jason prevailed. The team event was won by John Worden and Jason Nester. Despite the time of year and Polar Bear name 16 members and guests were treated to a balmy 64° day after which a late lunch was held at Casa Vallarta.
