- Dennis DeVaux - Rest in Peace
- Sandy Tidwell - Rest in Peace. Sad to report that Trap & Field Senior Editor Sandy Tidwell passed away on January 6, 2022. Sandy had been with Trap & Field since the 1980's, and she takes with her a vast knowledge of the sport’s history. She will be greatly missed.
