We are thrilled to announce that Bottom Dollar Gun & Archery has donated a Stoeger S4000-E Suppressed Air Rifle for our 80-Year/80-Bird Calcutta!

This is a fantastic addition to our event. This high-performance airgun features the latest S3 suppressor technology for ultra-quiet shooting and hits speeds of up to 1200 fps. You do not want to miss the chance to take this home!

We will be raffling this excellent airgun off. Every entry into the Calcutta gets one ticket, and additional raffle tickets can be purchased on the day of the shoot.

This event is on December 14th at the gun club, and presquadding is open and filling up! Please send an email to j@madisoncofishngame.com, or message our profile, to presquad.

Hello shooters! We are just a couple of days away from our 80 YEAR 80 BIRD CALCUTTA! I wanted to make this post to lay out all of the info about this shoot to avoid as many questions as possible!

FORMAT: 80 22yd Targets. 40 per trap, 8 per post.

COST: Total cost with Calcutta entry fee, Lewis, and the long runs is $40. There is an additional minimum self buy of $10 for the Calcutta. Cash only will be accepted for the Calcutta, Lewis, and LRs. Checks can be made for the $26 target fee.

PRIZES: The Calcutta is paying out 50/30/20, with a 60/40 split favoring the buyer. As of making this post, the Calcutta has $600 added money thanks to generous sponsors Allseal Sealcoating LLC, Buckeye Realty Group, Ltd, GunClubSites(dot)com, the Holcomb’s, and in Memory of Mark Hawkins. The Lewis Class is traditional, 50/30/20, and pays two places per class at a 60/40 split. There are no trophies for this shoot.

RAFFLE: By shooting all of the options ($40 plus min. bid $10), you will be given a raffle ticket with a chance to win a Milwaukee M18 Sawzall (donated by NAPA/Do it Best in Plain City), a Stoeger Air Rifle (donated by Bottom Dollar Gun & Archery), or a few other clothing items from our clubhouse shop donated by MCF&G and Rick Allen. The prizes will be selected on a first-draw-first-pick system, so you must be present to win. If you aren't shooting, or you’d like to purchase additional tickets, they will be $5 each or $20 for 5. We will also have a 50/50 for $1 a ticket or $5 for 6.

SQUADS: As of now, we have plenty of room to accommodate day-of registration. We have two traps, and both are lighted. Targets and money must be paid by the ‘selling of the board’ at 12:45pm to ensure an accurate board is available to sell.

PRACTICE: We will open trap 1 for practice at 12:00 Noon until 12:45. Practice rounds are $7 and can be paid before shooting.

WEATHER: It’s going to be cold. When not shooting, you can take comfort and enjoy a meal in our heated clubhouse. We will have a heater in our barn between traps to warm up between 40s. We will have Hand Warmers for sale ($2/pk).

SUMMARY: This shoot features 80 targets from 22 yards, including Calcutta, Lewis, and long-run options, with $600 added money and multiple raffle prizes for participants. Registration, practice, and payment run before the 12:45 board sale, with open squads, heated clubhouse, and cold-weather accommodations available. If there are any additional questions, send this page a message. Hope to see you all Sunday!

 

We will have a warm barn between traps to warm up! Join us for some fun, money, and celebration.
