Trap News

On May 23 the club held its annual spring tournament.  Doug B won the overall for an exciting evening.  More fun things to come.  Also the callers on the range seem to be working very well.

I would like to invite all participants to participate in all up coming events on the trap range.  Let's have some fun this summer.

I would also like to thank Lynn and Cee Cee for teaching the women's introductory trap class. I hope to see you all soon on the trap range.

Knockout

May 5 results:

A small but dynamic group of six people shot the first singles knockout tournament today. Since we only had six people, it made more sense to shoot singles instead of team knockout.

The handicapping worked very well because most of the matches were decided on the last station, and 5 matches came down to the last shot. One had to go to sudden death overtime.

The finals were between Luke Washburn and Peter Lewis. Peter jumped out to a 2-0 lead, but Luke rallied to 2-2 and then managed to win the match by breaking three clays to Peter’s two on station 5.  At 15 that makes Luke our youngest Knockout winner to date. He also picked up family bragging rights by knocking his dad (me) out of the winners bracket with another come from behind victory that ended with Luke winning station five by a score of 5-4.

Skip Waelty joined us as a first time knocker and did real well, taking Doug Hook deep into an overtime match before finally losing in sudden death.

As usual we enjoyed a good cookout half way through.

Singles knockout turned out to be a whole lot of fun. Don’t forget that Tony and Steve are running another singles knockout on Sunday June 2 at noon.   There are plenty of open slots. Sign up at this link if you want to shoot that day:  http://ascsinglesknockout.eventbrite.com

TRAP SKEET 5-STAND
AUTHORIZED LAUNCH MACHINE 
OPERATORS

3-31-2012

During the last 4-5 months the club has acquired, assembled and installed top of the line launch equipment and wireless electronic control systems for skeet and 5-stand to go along with our traditional trap equipment.

If handled by properly trained personnel this equipment should bring considerable shooting pleasure to ASC members for many years to come.

However, of even greater importance beyond wanting to avoid damage to the equipment, it is essential that we take every reasonable precaution to also avoid risks of injury and liability.

THEREFORE, ONLY THOSE PARTIES SPECIFICALLY LISTED BELOW MAY ATTEMPT TO OPERATE OR ACCESS ANY LAUNCHING OR ELECTRONIC CONTROL EQUIPMENT

Thank you

Mike Pierce
Director, Trap Operations
