Ed Mlynar has been an active and
dedicated member of the Lester Prairie Gun since 1968 when at that time the club
added it's second trap field. In 1975, he spearheaded the major
enlargement of the club house along with the addition of two trap fields, with a
practice trap following a short time later. Combined with the functional and
comfortable club house and fine trap fields that Ed has had so much to do with,
this facility continues to make Lester Prairie a popular club for registered
shoots. Ed was always involved with the advance planning, then early the day of
the shoot readying the trap fields, plus making sure that competent help was
also available for both the clubhouse scoring and entry. When the shooting
was done for the day, he compiled the shooters' scores and prepared and sent in
the ATA report as well as a Trap and Field story. For 22 years and
145 registered shoots, Ed made sure his club provided a good shoot. He was
there working at each and everyone of those 145 shoots.
Ed Organized and maintained a full program of league and practice shooting which
throughout the years has used over six million targets. This activity has
surely helped trapshooting enjoy a high sport profile. Ed and his wife,
Florence, have been involved in a good many community and civic improvement
projects in addition to all he has done for trapshooting in the area.
It is certainly noteworthy that Ed Mlynar with his 28 years of leadership,
guidance and dedication has contributed a great deal toward making trapshooting
a pleasant and viable sport in Minnesota.
