To All Trap & Skeet Club Members,

Just a reminder that our March 10th meeting will be a "Gun & Gauge Night." The meeting will be at Saddlebrook Rec. Ctr. at 7:00pm. Members will be allowed to bring in unloaded and cased shotguns along with other clay shooting related equipment or clothing to sell or trade. Gun triggers will be plastic tied at the door. Members can also check and measure gun bores, chokes, and triggers pulls. Guests are welcomed, but will not be allowed to sell or trade. Come to the meeting and browse the merchandise and have some great comraderie with fellow members. See you all on March 10th.

Also, mark your calendars for the April 14th meeting. The Board has enlisted Roger Gascoigne of Deer Creek to give a presentation on Sporting Clays Shooting. Roger Gascoigne has been teaching people to shoot for over 30 years in the UK, France, and the USA. He has worked with students aged 6 to 89. He coaches Trap, Skeet, Wing Shooting and Sporting Clays. Roger has coached winners of titles and trophies in UK, France and US. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from the best.

Prizes will be given out by the Lewis System. A luncheon and meeting will follow the fun shoot.

2009 Club Championship Shoot

4/20/2009-Robinson Ranch

After a few postponements the shoot was finally held Monday and for awhile the weather looked a little "iffy" with black clouds continually rolling off the Gulf. In fact it remained "iffy" and the targets were a little difficult with the gusty wind for most, but not all people. An example of the shooter's having little trouble is shown below:

These champions are (from left to right) are Bill McGovern (Skeet B 43X50), Joe Campbell (Handicap B 42X50), Al Hartung (Club All-Around Champion 87X100), Llyod Willms (5 Stand A 37X50), Don Butts (5 Stand B 25X50), Jack Bruan (Trap A 50X50), Dick Tedesco (Handicap A 45X50), Bill Miller (Skeet A 45X50 and Sonny Pazzarella (Trap B 45X50). Good shooting guys and thanks to Frank Woodward and folks helping him with shoot management for running a fun shoot.

The Board Of Directors

April 8, 2009 (Saddlebrook)

For those of you who couldn't make the monthly meeting here are a few items of interest:

As noted elsewhere the club championship shoot has been rescheduled to Monday 4/20
Treasurer Bill Miller indicates that he is tired of lugging around VT&SC nameplates that have not been picked up by new members. .If you haven't picked yours up please do so ASAP.
Ron Stafford, who has graciously volunteered to ride shotgun on our extensive lending library of shooting related books and DVDs, has indicated that some new titles are in including a couple of DVDs from trap shooter Harlan Campbell. Ron also indicates that approximately thirty titles are out on loan. While Ron peruses the records he requests that if you have any of these items to return them or otherwise let him know.
As usual Frank Woodward provided the club with updates on the progress of some of our members facing various medical problems. Ann Woodward indicated that she and Joyce Groat would like to act as coordinators in sending get well cards, etc. which the membership heartily agreed to. So there you have it these are our Sunshine Gals. Thank you!
