Robson attended state shoots in many neighboring states along with his father and step-mother.  These included Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi, Nevada, Ohio, Kansas and Missouri where he won many additional awards.  He also attended the Grand American between 1977 and 1985 and was a devoted shooter and supporter at the Shreveport Gun Club during that time.  The ATA records show his lifetime targets as 23,850 in singles, 22,400 in handicap and 12,100 in doubles for a total of 58,350.

Although Robson has not participated in the sport for several years, he still enjoys duck hunting.  With the experience gained while employed at Cuban Liquor, he now considers himself to be a wine enthusiast.
