| The Crooks Gun Club Board of
Directors wishes to welcome all league
members and sponsors for the upcoming trapshooting league year. To protect the league participants and trap workers, the Board reminds the league members of the following safety rules. Safety Reminders: 1. Crooks Gun Club is a shotgun only facility. Pistol or Rifle shooting is NOT allowed on the grounds. 2. Shooters should wear eye and hearing protection while shooting. If you see one of our scorers not wearing eye or hearing protection while scoring your rounds, please ask them to comply. Our trap workers are aware of this policy and are required to adhere to the policy. 3. Actions are to be kept open when moving from one post to another or between trap rounds. 4. Only one shell in the weapon at a time, except when shooting doubles (2). 5. Keep weapons pointed in a safe direction at all times. 6. NO alcohol prior to shooting. 2010 TRAP SHOOTING SEASON FORMAT Each week your team members will shoot at 25 targets at
the 16 yard line and 25 targets at your handicap yardage. A team is
made up of not more than 10 shooters. All may shoot each week but
only the top 5 scores will be used to determine the teams score each
week. Teams will be divided into classifications (A, B, C, D)
for both 16 yard and handicap targets. The list below will be used for
handicap targets. HANDICAP CHART A class--will shoot at 27 yards B class--will shoot at 25 yards C class--will shoot at 23 yards D class--will shoot at 21 yards (optional) Once you are placed in a class the 1st place team in each
will shoot at the yardage indicated on the above chart. The
remaining teams in each class will move forward at a rate of 1 yard for
every 5 team points that your team is behind the 1st place team in your
class. During the first two weeks of the new season, every team
will shoot at 16 yards and 22 yards. Those scores will be used to
determine classifications for all teams. At the half way point (week 10, League is divided into 2,
10 week segments, 1st half and 2nd half.) we will review all team
classifications. If there are any teams that need to be adjusted
to a different class, it will be done at that time. In an extreme example of a very large difference between
any classes 1st and 2nd place teams, the starting yardage for 1st
place can be pushed back beyond what the chart above shows. This
will only happen if the 2nd place team has moved all the way up the 17
yard line, which is the closest any team in any class can advance in
the handicap. In the event of a shooter wanting to shoot ahead of the
scheduled week, they may do so, but will shoot 1 yard farther back of
the teams current weeks yardage. Cost of shooting will be $13.00 per week with a one
time secretary fee of $10.00 per team member. Team sponsorship
fee is $35.00 per league year. A $20.00 per year membership fee
is required to a member of Crooks Gun Club (required to shoot
league). Life memberships are available for $200.00. The 2010 season will start April 14th & 15th.
There will be an annual meeting (March 25th at 6:30 pm) for any last
minute changes and election of club officers. We can practice any
time (weather permitting). Membership is not required to practice. We are all looking forward to a great trap season. Thank you. |
