    Due to overwhelming response to pre-squadding for the Dec. 13 Calcutta at Williams County, we are limiting the event to 30 squads. We currently have 27 squads pre-squadded. We will shoot 2 banks, even squads one bank, odd squads the other. You will shoot 2 traps, 50 targets total, then once every squad has shot their first 50, we will flip banks and shoot the second 50.


    Auction starts at 9:30 sharp, club will be open Friday the 12th from noon to 5 pm, for practice and taking entry money to lessen the lines on Saturday morning. Pay window will open at 7:30 am on Saturday.


    With this many squads and short daylight hours, several squads will finish under the lights for the last 50. Lights have been checked out, adjusted, and are ready to go. We will have extra porta-johns on site the day of the shoot.


    A reminder that you need 1000 ATA registered Handicap Targets over the past 3 full target years, 2023, 2024, 2025, and incudes targets shot this target year, 2026. If you do not have the targets, you will shoot from 23 yards.

    ATA 26-27, -3 yards

    ATA 23-25.5, -2 yards

    ATA 19-22.5, -1 yard, 19 yard minimum.

    Penalty yards for last December’s top 3 scores, 2 yards top score, 1 yards second score, and .5 yard for 3rd score.


    If you have a full squad pre-squadded and have not notified me of shooters and posts, please do so as soon as possible so we know if we have any openings.

    Thanks-
    Joe Nester

    Boy this is a real head scratcher! A wonderful trap club in the middle of a northwestern Ohio winter holds a 100 bird shoot and draws more shooters than half the ATA State shoots in the country! No All American points? What could possibly be attracting all these shooters? Do they have slot machines at this club? I wonder how many ATA officials will show up to find out what their secret is to attracting shooters? Do they award flashlights to the six place sub senior junior lady vets? What could it be?
