Greetings Shotgun Athletes:
Well the new season is upon us and we need to get things started. I
understand that your shooting schedule is not the only thing on your
calendar, but I need you to consider how serious you all want to compete. We
shoot every week and sometimes several times over the whole week.
We would
love for you to compete in all the programs we have to offer, but would
enjoy you, no matter what.
We practice on Friday evenings at 6:00 at the
Weld County Fish & Wildlife Range, (Galeton). This is typical unless we have
a registered shoot on Saturday.
We offer several programs for you as
athletes to compete with, one of them being the Amateur Trap Association
(ATA); this membership can be used nationwide. For more information on the
ATA program the website can be seen at
http://www.shootata.com/. The next program of shooting that we offer to
you is the Colorado Trap Shooting Association (CSTP); their website can be
found at
http://www.rmclaysports.com/CSTA.html. We also shoot a brand new
program started by the ATA, this program is called AIM (Academics,
Integrity, and Marksmanship), and their website is
www.aim4ata.com . We think this is
going to be a great program for youth. AIM is the official Youth program of
the Amateur Trapshooting Association. Members of AIM will enjoy the thrill
of shooting registered competition on a level playing field either as a team
or as an individual. The purpose of AIM is to provide a safe and positive
experience with firearms and registered trapshooting for youth, elementary
school through college age. AIM encourages good sportsmanship and personal
responsibility through competition while establishing the foundation to make
trapshooting a lifelong avocation. Then the last program we shoot is call
Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP), their website is
http://sssfonline.org/. This is a
program that has been around for several years, but has just this year, been
taken over by a new foundation, and we are excited to have it on our agenda
of shoots. The SCTP program provides school-age participants in grades 12
and under with the opportunity to showcase their competitive shooting skills
and earn state and national recognition. The program is designed to instill
in participants safe firearm handling, commitment, responsibility,
leadership and teamwork.
I am very excited for the new season. This is a
new season with new shooters and a new environment for us. Feel free to call
me or email me with any questions or concerns. Watch the website for updates
and schedules.
Here’s to a great sharp shooting season.
