The
October NBSA World Basketball Shooting Championships, in conjunction
with the Nevada State Senior Games (LV) and Huntsman World Senior
Games.
By Jim “Makevery” Schatz
THE NEVADA SENIOR GAMES, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE NBSA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP OF BASKETBALL SHOOTING EVENT, is always on a Sunday, sandwiched between the two shooting events that take place in Utah at the Huntsman World Sr. Games. This gives the elite masters of shooting three intensive days of the toughest competition in basketball shooting. The 2013 NV Games were held Sunday, Oct. 13, while the Huntsman shooting events took place Saturday/Monday, October 12 and 14.
In Las Vegas, many new NBSA consecutive records in competition were established. 76 year old Bob McCoid won the “Three Point Mastery” competition going 25 for 25 in the semi finals (five shots at five spots) and continuing with 20 more in a row in the finals for the current NBSA three point competition record of 45 in a row. (While we don't shoot these matches with a time clock like the NBA does, the shooters are still quick to shoot.)
Eddie Palubinskas and Ronn Wyckoff, both NBSA founders, set the new “Free Throw Mastery” consecutive competition record in the semi finals going perfect, to end at 43-42. At 25-25 the shooters went into sudden death. Eddie "P" prevailed when Ronn unfocused and missed on his 43rd attempt. In the NBSA World Free Throw Mastery Championship Final, Mike Scudder defeated Eddie 25-24 to pick up another NBSA free throw mastery championship and title. Mike, who is called the King of Free Throw, continued to dominate and remain in the top 4 with Eddie Palubinskas, Dave Hopla and Rick Rosser in the NBSA Free Throw Mastery World Rankings.

Bob
McCoid won the 60 second timed event, called the “Make Every Shot
Challenge”, and I want to remind you again that he is 76 years old.
James Pauley, Noah Basketball's number one ranked shooter, who is also
their representative in Southern California, was the finalist in both
the “Make Every Shot Challenge” and the “Three Point Mastery” events.
Eight shooters qualified for both the “Free Throw Mastery” and “Three Point Mastery” competitions. In the free throw, there were (4) perfect 25's, (1) 24 and (3) 23's. The Las Vegas qualifying field in the free throw event was 96.5%, and after the alternating shots competition that average shot up to 97.4%.
GREAT SHOOTERS & GREAT SHOOTING!
The NBSA/HUNTSMAN WORLD SENIOR FREE THROW MASTERY CHAMPIONSHIP was held in St. George, UT, Monday, October 14, immediately after their combined free throw/three point age division events. We just took the free throw scores and qualified the top 16 shooters. Of the 16 qualifiers one was from the women's free throw/three point competition - Ann O'Neill - and she made it all the way to the finals, finally losing to Eddie Palubinskas, the 2013 NBSA/Huntsman World Senior Free Throw Mastery Champion.
There were no records set here but it was a wonderful display of shooting mastery. There were (2) 25's, 8 (24's) and 6 (23's) in the qualifying, for a total of 94.7%. After the alternating shooting, the over all average went up to close to 96%.
