News and Announcement

A couple of changes

The Aug 7 Turkey shoot at Fox Valley is now Aug 22. The St. Anna shoot on Aug 22 was incorrectly listed as a 50 Target Lewis shoot. It is a money shoot. Results have been posted for a couple of shoots. I con only post info when the club sends me the results. Please encourage them to do so.

Updated information - Sept 11 Boys & Girls Clubs shoot

There is updated information for the Sept 11 shoot supporting the Sheboygan County Boys and Girls Clubs. Please click on the link in the calendar - Sept 11, at Sheboygan Falls
Conservation Club.

Is it worth the effort?

This has been a challenging year for the 3 people who run this site. We have been doing this for quite a few years and, until this year, we always have enjoyed putting information out there for the shooting community. I don't know if it's because of an increasingly impatient society or because people have lost civility and feel they have to act like jerks to get their point across, but there have been some situations this year that have made us rethink whether it's worth the effort to keep this site active. We do this on a volunteer basis, so when you have people reaming your *** because something isn't quite the way they think it should be, I for one don't have much tolerance for the bulls***. As we push towards the end of this year, we will need to make a decision on the fate of this site. I know many of you use this as a reference for scheduling your attendance at shoots, and that is why it would be a difficult decision to drop this project. Mike, Gary, and I will keep you posted.

SCTP State Shoot

Tom Wondrash sent me information about the SCTP State Shoot. On the results page you will find the individual scores as well as the team results.

2010 Calendar

The 2010 calendar is now posted to the site. Please review the shoots for your club to be sure the dates I had agree with your records. I also am still missing information from the clubs with contacts shown in red on the contacts page.

The shoot calendar, both the printable copy and the online copy, have been updated. Please note that there are several youth and cause shoots coming up soon. Look for the dates highlighted with blue text color. These shoots provide funds for youth shooting and special charities. Please support these events.

Youth Shoot Support

Gary DeSmidt is very active in supporting youth shooting. If you have questions about the AIM, SCTP, or State shoots, contact Gary.

2010 Shoot List

If you are interested in adding information to the 2010 list, here are the rules we use:

Only non-sanctioned shotgun shoots will be listed
The club submitting the information for the shoot calendar must supply the shoot information, a contact name and phone number, the club name, a mailing address, and brief directions to the club (or a physical address).
A $10 check is requested from the submitting club to cover the costs of maintaining the site. You can contact the webmaster to make arrangements.

For specific information, contact the webmaster.

The 2010 shoot list - printed copy - is structured similar to 2009. If you have any comments or suggestions, please send them to the webmaster.

The printed calendar is now 2 pages. If your printer supports 2 sided printing, you can still have a very useful 1 page calendar.

Thanks to all who support "Cause Shoots".

We are all faced with challenges in our lives, but some take the form of serious health issues such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc. Many fellow shooters are directly affected by these diseases, and other shooters rally to support them with fund raisers in the form of "Cause Shoots", such as the cancer shoots at Berlin and Hartford and the juvenile diabetes shoot at Eastshore. I personally want to thank all of you who support these wonderful causes.

REMEMBER: INTRODUCE SOMEONE TO SHOOTING. IT'S THE FUTURE OF THE SPORT
