Federal Ammunition congratulates sponsored-shooter Debbie Ohye-Neilson on a long list of championship wins at the recent Grand American World Trapshooting Championships, held in Sparta, Illinois, at the World Shooting & Recreational Complex. The 126th annual event, presented by the Amateur Trapshooting Association (ATA), drew nearly 5,000 competitors and ran from July 30 to August 9, 2025.

Debbie was the Lady II Champion at the following nine events: ATA 2600 HOA, Excel Bottling Company Super 500 Doubles, Graf & Sons Doubles, Kubota Doubles, Litte Egypt Golf Cars Doubles, NRA Singles, Precision Fit Stocks Doubles, HOA 1500, Super 500 Singles, and more, including several Lady II Runner-up and Lady II Third titles.

In general, Debbie attributes her successful trapshooting career to hard work, consistency, and dedication to the sport. Debbie is a member of the ATA Hall of Fame with more than four hundred trophies spanning more than four decades of competing. She has also been an ATA All-American for 38 straight years, with 26 of those years being Captain of her respected category.

“Competing in ATA events has been an experience,” Debbie said. “It has made my life fulfilled. I’m grateful for the people I’ve met, shot with, and became friends with, throughout all these years. I’m glad my choices brought me to where I am.”

Debbie chooses Federal’s Top Gun in No. 8 for Singles and Doubles and relies on Federal Gold Medal Paper in No. 7.5 when shooting Handicap. The look, feel, and performance of Gold Medal Paper shotshells have made them the favorite of the most serious clay target shooters. Now they're even better, thanks to a high-quality brass head, harder shot, and modern wad options.

Federal manufactures products in America for all competitive and recreational disciplines and is a top choice for competition shotgun shells, which include the High Over All, Gold Medal Paper, and new-for-2025 Federal’s Master Class and All-American product lines.
