Upon
leaving the service, he returned to Oregon and became a member of
Oregon State Police during the years 1966-69. He started college
at Umpqua Community College and graduated from the University of
Oregon in 1973 with a degree in Community Service and Public
Affairs. While attending college, Daro began studying the
components (steps) of trapshooting. His goal was total
perfection in delivery of the shot and conquering the 27 yard
line with consistent high scores.
Daro has shot
professionally and coached since 1973. During this time period
he also worked for the insurance industry for eight years. He
has shot over 1 million rounds of shotgun and rifle ammo and has
won more handicaps and honorary yardage punches than any other
trapshooter in the ATA and PITA. He holds the long-run record
from 27 yards with 505 straight hits, shot over 5 days of
competition at two different shoots. He has over 40 100X100 from
the 27 yard line, numerous 100X100 in the doubles and singles,
and numerous 200X200 in Singles Championship events. Since 1980,
he has averaged over 70 honorary yardage punches yearly from the
27 yard line with over 100 punches some years based on 10,000 to
12,000 registered handicap targets. His longest handicap winning
streak was over 15 straight handicaps.
Daro has won or
been in the top 5 handicap averages in the ATA numerous times
since 1974, been a member of the five highest over-all averages 6
times and won the highest average in the PITA too many times to
mention. To date he has been on 16 ATA All American Teams and
35
straight PITA All Star Teams, being team captain for the PITA
teams most of those years. His life time singles average is
close to 99% and he has shot over 725,000 registered targets.
Daro's method
of trapshooting and coaching revolve around his "perfection in
the set-up" procedure, "total mind control" and "self and detail
perfection". This method leads to higher scores and averages and
more trophies and money wins each year.
Daro has
basically dedicated his life to the game of trapshooting and
coaching and can communicate the inner workings of the sport to
those that will listen to learn and believe. His knowledge of
teaching trapshooting will benefit the experienced shooter as
well as the beginning and intermediate shooter.
Good luck is
