Coors Schuetzen and Warren White

Print Post  
Guys,  a woman in Washington state emailed me out of the blue this weekend.  Her grandparents lived in Des Moines Iowa and were killed in a car wreck a short time ago.  She is creating a memorial for them.  So what does this have to do with shooting?

Well, her grandfather was Warren White and she says he shot Coors Schuetzen matches and similar and apparently won some awards.   She would like some images of the sorts of awards that might have been given out at such matches if possible and any other information.   

If you have some pictures, or perhaps some old records, maybe we could find a trophy or two for her and perhaps his name in record books somewhere.   

Chris Jens - any chance you could look for his name in the Davenport club records?

Thanks a bunch,
Brent

Brent,

Warren White shot at the ISSA match in Raton for many years, and his wife helped out at the match by scoring targets. The match started out as "The Coors Match" in 1982 because Max Goodwin and other folks at Coors wanted to bring back the famous Coors Schuetzen match, unfortunatly Coors no longer sponsers the match. This is the URL for the ISSA Officers; (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

you can contact Pat Weber, Larry Johnson or Dave Purcell with questions about Warren and his wife.

Warren White sold tin and lead to shooters, I bought some pre-mixed alloy from him at the "98 Schuetzenfest" -a nice man.  leadball

Warren White regularly shot at the Eau Claire Regionals, I recall he spotted for me a few years before he died.  Laurie Gapko or Andy Muenich might have some photos, I will see if I have any. Joe S
