Calling All Trap Shooters!!!

Uncategorized

We have a member Jon Lester who has volunteered to run some ATA/AIM Trap shooting events.  This takes a lot of work to host, but Jon has gladly stepped up.  Anyone is welcome to come watch or shoot.  If you are not an Amateur Trapshooting Association (ATA) member,  Jon has the forms to join on site.  Cost is $20 for adults to join and $25 for youth ($12 ATA and $13 AIM).  Please bring cash – no credit cards please.

These shoots are for all ages to include kids!  The kids become part of a AIM (Academics, Integrity and Marksmanship) and compete at their level.  They have the ability to go beyond just our club if they are interested as AIM is a Nation Wide competition.

The two Big 50 shoots on Sunday will be a 1400 start time.  The Saturday morning shoots are at 1000.  Registration starts 30 minutes prior.  Cost is $10 per shooter to cover targets and ATA fees.  Cash only please.  Here is a schedule of the upcoming shoots.

  • Saturday – 2 April 2022 for VYTL, week 2 (28 Mar -3 April)
  • Sunday – 10 April 2022 – Pollenfest Big 50 [VYTL, week 3]
  • Saturday – 16 April 2022 for VYTL, week 4 (11-17 April)

WORK PARTY!

ASC Announce

We’ll have our spring frame and Bowling Pin Table work party this coming Saturday February 26th at 10:00. We will build 7 bowling pin tables and replace the SRB target frames. Some other frames require some repair, but not replacement. We will need at least one table saw to rip the lower cross member of the frames. Some miter saws and drills/drivers should do the rest. If you have Torx drivers, bring T20 through T30.

We will be working on the 50-yard range and the hundred will remain open, except for time to retrieve and replace frames for repair. Given sufficient turn out we should be done by noon.

I also need volunteers to get service hours for shooting! The wood for the work above will be delivered sometime Friday. I won’t know more about scheduling until late Thursday or Friday morning. I’d like 2 volunteers to cover all day Friday. One from 8 until 12, and the other from 12 until 4. You’re free to shoot, or just lounge around. I just need the range open and someone to accept the delivery. If you’re interested, please contact me via email at [email protected].

Thanks, and see you on the range.

Uncategorized
UPDATE: New DATE & Time!!!! Be sure that you email Dale (email below).  Please do not go out without letting Dale know.  With the weather that we are expecting, we may have to postpone.  Dale will email those that have contacted him in case of that decision.

Shooter Tune up Shotgun! Shotgun Fundamentals – Jan 30th 1-3 pm!
Do you have a shotgun that you haven’t shot or haven’t shot in some time? Now is the time! Dale Mullin, who is a very experienced shotgun instructor and a Level II shotgun coach, will be there to help you learn to hit flying targets.
Dale will help you with the fundamentals – stance, pointing etc to hit incoming, out-going and slight crossing targets.
Please bring your shotgun and 2 boxes (50 shells) of ammunition. The ammunition should contain any of the following shot sizes 7-1/2, 8, or 9 size shot. Boxes labeled for target shooting or “Dove or Quail” will be OK. If you have a choice, look for velocities between 1100 and 1200 feet per second. No need for any higher velocities.
If you do not have a shotgun but you have been craving the opportunity to see what it was about, Dale will being some club 20 gauge shotguns. You still need to bring 2 boxes of 20 gauge shotgun shells of 7-1/2, 8, or 9 shot size.
Please drop Dale an e-mail to let him know you’re coming so that he can plan how many clay targets we will need. [email protected]
If there is enough interest/turnout in this session we can offer advanced classes on how to shoot trap and skeet later on!!
We look forward to seeing you there!!!!
