Bob Craft of Dripping Springs, TX passed away Oct. 9 at the age of 84 following a long battle with cancer.

Mr Craft joined the ATA in 1978 and in 2001, was inducted into the Texas Hall of Fame. He was one of the leading voices to change the method of identifying the top shooters for the Texas State Team, going from using a simplistic average of all targets shot, regardless of state location, to one that encourages shooters to travel to the state's five zones and bases the teams on shooting in Texas.

During his career, the ATA life member accumulated 131,675 singles, 50,400 handicap and 51,100 doubles targets.
