In 1939 it was written that Frank Troeh’s average in handicap shooting had never been equaled in the history of trapshooting. In that same year, Frank won all four championship events at the Oregon State Shoot: singles, handicap, doubles and HAA. It was the first time any shooter won all four championship events at any one state shoot.

The records set by Frank were unheard of at the time and some of them have yet to be duplicated. His averages and numerous wins continued until his last registered targets in 1959.
