Senior Olympics
The 2011 Prescott Senior Olympic Games Shotgun events were once again conducted at our PT&SC facility. Aug. 12th was hot & breezy and the turnout was terrific. We had 50% more shooters this year compared to 2010. A large number of walk-in (not pre-registered) shooters caused several squads to be added and made for a long day. The attached PDFs have the complete scores, but I will cover the medal winners here.
Trap Event Gold Medal winners were: Ellen Yoachun; Sandra Gunderson; Mark Williams; Bill McGirk; Danny Yoachum; Jay Alderman; Jim Davis; Tom Strunk; Quenton Damiani; & Leslie Ellis. Silver Medal winners were: Kath Lacina; Dennis Lee; Gordon Moye; Alvan Matthews; Mike Dennis; Russell O'Rourke; Bob Lacina; Ronald Crandall, Jake Gonzales; William Fitz; & Orville Pruett.Bronze Medal winners were: Don Simpson; Milt Kennedy; Gene Csicsak; Dick Logan; Ray Houle; Ben Crow; Ed Tommasino; Jim Dorsey; Dennis Shaw; & Harry Hufford.As you can see, much of the heavy metal went to our out-of-town guests from Pason and the Valley.

This event took much longer than I had anticipated and I apologize to all who waited 'til after 6pm to get their awards. We definitely will do something different next year. We all owe a debt of gratitude to Gene Nelson and his crew of scorers (including Tim Nolan, Bob McGahe and others) - they really made it easier for all of us. And certainly, we want to thank Jerry Albers - he set up the machines and mothered them throughout the day and even managed time to pull for the Sporting Clays event. Anna & Max also pitched in to make it a pleasant day for our events.
Please remember our sponsors who contributed funding for this shoot so that it was less expensive for the participants and our Club still received full value for the thrown targets. Our Sponsors included: the Prescott Trap & Skeet Club, Arizona Safe Keepers, MDI Taxes, Mazy's, Vang Comp Systems, Liffick Enterprises, Gunsite, J&G Gun Sales: Chino Valley Rotary, & Prescott Sportsmen's Club. And kudos all around for our food Sponsor, Streets of New York Pizza. I know I have overlooked somebody who helped make our event a success - please accept my apologies.

Fun Shoots
Winter has pasted and the Club's Fun Shoots are back on the schedule so plan to join us on July 30th, and Sept 24th (4th Saturday of each month) with weather and trap setter willing). Please note that our Fun Shoots are OPEN TO ALL and this includes currently enrolled SCTP shooters.
Shoots will will vary between 50 or 100 birds so check the website or sign-up sheet on the clubhouse bulletin board each month. Fun Shoots will utilize a Skeet field, a Trap field and both Sporting Clay fields. Lunch for these shoots will be prepared by one of our on-site chefs with an average cost of $3 per shooter.
Please sign up at the club prior to the event date so we may determine the number of participating shooters make the appropriate preparations.
