| 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.
2008 TRAP SHOOTING SEASON FORMAT *************** Each week your team will shoot 25 rounds at the 16 yard line and 25 rounds at your handicap yardage.
Teams will be divided into classifications (A,B,C,D)
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.
The first two weeks every team will shoot at 16 yards and 22 yards. We will use these scores to determine classifications for all teams. At the half way point (week 8) we will review all team classifications. If there are any teams that need to be put in a different class we will do it at this time.
In an extreme example of a very large difference between any classes 1st and 2nd place teams the starting yardage for the 1st place can be pushed back beyond what the chart on page one shows. This will only happen if the 2nd place team has moved all the way up to 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 they will shoot 1 yard back of the teams current yardage.
Thank you we are all looking forward to a great trap season |
