Bob Rodale was a very talented skeet shooter as well as the head of the Rodale publishing empire, Organic Gardening being his flagship publication. He shot American skeet until he found "God" and took up the International Skeet game. He became the champion of the game and converted many American skeet shooters to the International game. He was well respected by his fellow shooters in the PA-DEL area where a memorial shoot in his honor was created. One year, 1991, I was runnerup in the Rodale Olympic Tryout. It was to be the only Silver Medal of my International Skeet career. I never met Mr. Rodale, but shot with some of his shooting partners. I believe he was killed in Russia.
