David Adams

David Adams becomes the 29th person inducted into the Georgia Trapshooting Hall of Fame. Although, David is not your typical inductee, because most people are known for their accomplishments as a shooter and the trophies they have won. David is better known for the love he has for the sport, and teaching the next generation to become champions. 

When you first meet him you may get the impression that he's not the nicest person, because he always tells you like it is, whether you want to hear it or not, and that's the way he comes across. But I can tell you, he is the most caring, unselfish, and loyal person you will ever meet. His love for teaching kids how to shoot and dedicating his time is what he is all about. You may not always agree with him or his ways. but I can promise you he knows exactly what he is doing, after all look at what Shelli, his daughter, has accomplished under his teachings, not only the discipline of the sport, but the knowledge and safety.
