NCSC - Spring Warm Up 5 Stand Update

Thanks to all those that have registered for our upcoming shoot on the 22nd!  If you plan to attend, I suggest registering soon as we're already about 2/3 full.  There are spots left on most squads, though.

As mentioned in my earlier email we will be holding a 100 bird main event, shot on 2 fields.  And there will be a separate 50 bird "Fluff" event as well.  I neglected to mention in my earlier email that the "Fluff" event is also a 12ga event.  Of course, as in any 12ga event, you can shoot a subgauge gun if you'd like.  Both events will be NSCA registered, but we welcome "Hunter" class shooters who are not NSCA members.

I also neglected to mention in my earlier email that Art will be manning the grill so you can have a burger or dog before, between, or after your rounds.

The Club is now open on Wednesdays from 12:00 noon to dusk if you would like to come out and tune up for the shoot, or just blow off some mid week steam.

If you would like to register, please visit Score Chaser at the following link.  Even if you think you've already registered, it may be a good idea to follow the link and make sure you see your name on the Entrant list.  We've had a few people show up on shoot days, thinking they were registered, only to find out that wasn't the case.  Sometimes we can squeeze them in, sometimes not.  I'm also happy to confirm your registration if you want to send me an email.  In any case, here's that registration link:

We hope to see you on the 22nd!

NSCA 2023 Rule Change

Several changes this year but two that interest me. Shooter has twenty seconds to call for a target. 

On the face of it an awful long time for someone to call for a target. I "presume" gun and ammunition issues will be considered. Only a few with bad habits will be impacted. 

 No more than two-pair show targets. I'm all in for this one. I've stood behind the #1 shooter and watched a call for seven or eight targets. A couple of pairs. Show a few singles. Good riddance! 

 ///// 

 NSCA 2023 

 b. Shooter has 20 seconds to call for target after entering shooting stand and between shots. First shooter time starts at completion of viewing “show targets.” Warnings and penalties will be administered by Course Manager or Shoot Management. 

 i. First violation = warning. 

 ii. Second violation and each subsequent violation in the round = two (2) targets deducted from final score. 

Shooters Viewing Targets The first person on every squad shall be allowed to view a good presentation of targets from within the shooting station. At least one pair will be shown, but limited to no more than two pairs. This person is the only person permitted to mount their unloaded gun and track the targets being viewed.

Lost Target Schedule 2023

I was out of action over the winter months because of health issues, thus the lack of the Florida shoot videos and photos that I normally post.

All is now well (spent the winter walking the mall), and you can expect posting of videos/photos to resume in May 2023.

Santa left a new camera under the tree Christmas morning.  I'm hoping it will replace two cameras. 

I've messed around with photo shooting and to my eye a big upgrade over my previous camera. Have not yet had a chance to visit a clay target range but I'm hoping for good things using the camera in video mode, as a much larger sensor and more video options. My first couple of shoots I'll be in learning mode so bear with me.
