It is with much sadness that we report the passing of Barry Hartmann, 85, on February 10. A long-time member of Tulsa (OK) Gun Club and an NSSA Master Level Instructor, Barry helped teach countless youth and adults how to shoot skeet and, as Zone Instructor, trained 75+ NSSA Level 1 Instructors.
Target Talk and Clay Target Nation staff appreciated his contributions to both publications. He provided shooting tips for Target Talk through “Hartmann’s Hints” and wrote “Training Tips” and other articles for CTN. We remember him as knowledgeable, gracious, devoted to NSSA and the sport of skeet, and always willing to share his knowledge with others.
Barry registered 90,514 skeet targets during his 31 years as an NSSA member. He attended six World Shoots.
Barry will be greatly missed by his fellow members at Tulsa Gun Club, the instructor program, NSSA staff and his family. We extend our gratitude for his many contributions to the sport of skeet and offer our deepest condolences to his friends and family.
