2013 - David Hudgins - David Hudgins' whole life has been built around making things rumble, purr, and work to perfection. Being fluid, flowing and rhythmic has translated to more than Dave’s work with high end custom motorcycles. As a matter of fact, Dave’s shooting career mirrors his work vocation more than most people realize. That is by the time you hear him coming, he has just passed you on the leader board and won yet another sporting clays shoot.
The 10th inductee into the Ohio Sporting Clays Hall of Fame has a long list of shooting accomplishments and wins. Recognized this year in making the 2013 NSCA 12 ga. All American Team, Dave also won last year’s 2012 Ohio FITASC Championship. He was the 2011 Ohio Cup runner up and 2003 Ohio Cup Champion. Dave made the 2010 and 2011 NSCA All Zone Team and is a six time Ohio All State Member.
Dave’s love and compassion for the sport is demonstrated by his help with the OSCA board and several charitable organizations. He continues to demonstrate and will long be remembered most for his calm yet competitive demeanor while always exhibiting integrity and champion qualities to our sport.

2012 - Todd Kemmerer - Todd Kemmerer was inducted into the Ohio Sporting Clays Hall of Fame during award ceremonies at the Cardinal Center on Saturday, August 4. Former OSCA President Gene Goodwin combined playful teasing with a serious look at one of Ohio’s foremost shooters and organizers. Kemmerer, who is a member of the NSCA Advisory Committee and Executive Council, was previously president of the Ohio Association. A competitive shooter since 1993, he is always a threat to win any event he enters. He is an accomplished small gauge champion and was twice defending champion of Ohio’s Kiddie Cup (named in memory of Mark Kiddie – a legendary Ohio shooter of many talents).
Kemmerer is the organizer of the state’s Kids and Clays program and raises in excess of $100,000 annually for the Ronald McDonald House Charity. He has followed his friend Kiddie into the leadership role in organizing the most successful charitable shooting event in the nation, the Boomer Esaison Foundation for Cystic Fibrosis.
Kemmerer continues his involvement in the OSCA where he has demonstrated innovative leadership for several years. He pushed the association to adopt a concept aiming for high quality, and more fairness by bringing in a well-known course designer annually for the state championships. He advocated two year contracts with host clubs for the state shoot to allow clubs to balance their cost issues for upgrades over both years.
Long before marketing classes were pushing corporate branding, Todd designed a logo for the Ohio Association and urged use of it in advertising, trophies, and printed materials. He is a six time all State shooter, and has been named to the All American Small Gauge Team. He’s got a houseful of trophies from marquee events all over the Midwest, Great Lakes and mid-Atlantic area. Kemmerer is the ninth person named to the Hall of Fame.

2010 - Richard Vance - Richard Vance’s selection to the hall of fame in 2010 was a real crowd pleaser. Vance has been a competitor from the beginning of time (early 1990′s). His hard work and dedication has taken him to the top of the sport, yet he’s remained a humble man who always has time for a kind word of encouragement or a helping hand.
His shooting credits include Ohio Cup Champion, National Pump Gun Champion, Veteran All-American and past member of NSCA Team USA. He competed as a member of Team USA in the 2009 World FITASC in Australia.
