Message from the President:
October 1st is the beginning of our new fiscal year and you will see a modest increase to the cost of a round of skeet/trap and a round of 5-stand/Sporting Clays. Expense increases to include actual target costs have gone up resulting in the slight increase to the cost per round.
I want to take this opportunity to congratulate Jim Riddle who won the raffle for the Browning 725 Citori Shotgun. We will soon be starting a new raffle for a Caesar Guerini Shotgun, and this time we will also add some additional prizes to be raffled off as well.
Just to clarify, the Club was recently awarded the 2020 Junior World Skeet Championship and we are looking forward to making this a great event. The dates are still to be determined but will be during late July or early August of 2020.
As a reminder, the Club will be closed on Halloween this year which is on Wednesday, October 31st. We will, however, be open on Thursday, November 1stwith normal hours as on a Wednesday with steak and salmon available as well. That Thursday through Sunday, November 2ndthrough the 4th, the Club will host the Emory Pappy Skeet Tournament.
Paul Giambrone, III, will be here to give lessons at JCTS on December 14thand 16th, with overflow on the 13th if needed. Lesson formats will be 2 shooters per half day for $400 per shooter.
A reminder to all that safety while shooting is paramount and we ask everyone to help ensure a safe environment for all on the clay target courses and fields at all times.
Hunting season is upon us, so come on out and get some practice.
See you at the Club!
Chris Kauffmann
President
