2022 FALL HANDICAP
THANK YOU to all the SHOOTERS that attended our 2022 Fall Handicap and making our shoot a success. Also, MANY THANKS to all our great sponsors for their very generous contributions and to Marg Graf of Graf & Sons for hosting the Shooter’s Appreciation Fish and Chicken Dinner with all the trimmings Friday evening. We are forever grateful for the support of all our sponsors in making this a shoot for the shooters. In 2023 we have every expectation to be a Competition Factor of 5 and we only missed it by 25 shooters this year! We have plans to tweak the program for next year to make the shoot even more attractive and shooter friendly. Please remember, we, the board of directors, officers and management are there to serve you and do not hesitate to let us know what we can do better. The same thing applies when you are shooting targets. If the targets don’t look right to you, let the scorer know and we will get an official to the trap and make adjustments as needed. Our Team has one goal. It is to serve you to give you the best targets and the best experience possible. You deserve nothing less. We want nothing less. Please mark your calendar and make plans to attend the 2023 Fall Shoot September 18-24.
2023 STATE SHOOT
In 2023 our State Shoot has been moved to one week later, May 22-28. As this will be Memorial Day weekend, if you need a motel room, make your reservations now as rooms fill up fast for Memorial Day weekend. You can discover a selection of 2500 affordable vacation homes and condos starting at $75 per night at vrbo.com Lake of the Ozarks. Also, as Memorial Day is Monday, and the shoot ends Sunday, you will have an extra day to return home!
