Amelia Shotgun Sports February 2024 Visit

Amelia Shotgun Sports. 75 degrees. First visit in two years. A&B stands on 13 of the 14 stations. All stations had three machines.

I'm a founding member which gets me life membership, discount shooting and discount cart rental.

The club is north of Jacksonville, almost on the Georgia border.

NCSC (Vt) March Schedule

 On  Saturday, March 2nd, we have a 100 bird scored fun shoot. The current forecast looks to be fairly good and on the mild side of things. There will be hot chili and cookies there to enjoy. If you're interested in participating reach out to Art via email(artkotavt@gmail.com)

On Saturday, March 23rd, we have our first registered shoot of the 2024 season. There will be a 100 bird main event ($65), as well as a 50 bird "fluff"($35). The be a email coming soon with the link to register for the shoot on Score Chaser and the fluff is a walk on event.

Palm Beach County Club Visit - 22 Feb 2024

Photos of the Palm Beach County Club (Florida). Well maintained course. "B" class shooters and above would get bored quickly. Nature of the beast for a county/state run club. All an all we had a good time. No machine or target issues.

$21 cart rental. $.40 a target. Had to watch a 12-minute safety video (first time visitor). The person in front of me was renting a shotgun. He was told $20 (all day) and had to be an American and 21 years of age.

Yes, that's an alligator swimming in the water at station #2.

A number of skeet/trap fields. A good number International Skeet and Bunker fields. I suspect at some point a World Cup match will be hosted.

Plenty of ammunition for sale. We brought are own.

Quail Creek Sporting Ranch visit - Feb 21, 2024

 We visited Quail Creek Sporting Ranch (Fl). Three-hour drive. Twenty-one miles from I-95 to the entrance gate. $.55 nonmember rate per target. $30 cart rental.

Some machines on the Red course out of targets. White and Blue course closed (was not informed when we signed in).

Tried to shoot the Blue. No target. No target. Stupid me. Tried three stations : (

Ran into a club member who said the course was closed. Be prepared. If you push the button you pay for targets, target or no target.

Did shoot the "closed" White without issue. There were several others shooting the course and one person loading machines.

I called them on it when we went in. Did not go well. Desk would not owe up to failure to inform. The young lady insisted she told us. I may be old, but I think after a three-hour drive, I would remember being told two of the three courses we came to shoot were not available. If not me the wife would remember as she had been standing right next to me when we signed in.

Lady seemed to be upset when we told her we shot the closed White Course. Insisted she told us both courses were closed. I suspect she did not want to own up to her mistake in front of the other person working with her. Left a bad taste. Never visited before. Don't ever plan on visiting again.

VT NEK Shoots now available on ScoreChaser

 Shooters, all Northeast Kingdom Skeet & Sporting Clays Club registered shoots are now available for pre-registration on ScoreChaser.com.

Please note, we are pre-squadding 5-Stand on the June, July, & Sept shoots. We are also pre-squading the Main Event for the VT State Shoot. If you don't request a full squad, shooters will be added in as received. Also please note, when you select a time slot, it is just a request. I must actually go in and complete the squading. It may take a week or so before you see your squading on your registration form.

We're looking forward to seeing you all and a great 2024 season,
