We had 132 shooters at Livermore in July. The very well run shoot made for a great Saturday of trapshooting. Thanks to the Livermore staff and club members for keeping us running right through lunch, and an early finish to the shoot-offs.
THE GOOD NEWS!! - Our excellent attendance this season is allowing us to reduce the shooter fees for the rest of the season. At the beginning of the year we set the fees to "break even" at 100 shooters per month to ensure we can cover the monthly and year end trophies and awards. Through the Livermore shoot we’ve averaged 122 shooters!
Contributing to our great attendance this year are the following new shooters for the month of July: Tex Hollis, Micaehla and Ron May, Ozzie and Diego Zamora and Mark Zeller. The SBTL and its members welcome you!
We have several new members of our volunteer office staff - the "SBTL Roadies" - who were squadded too early to allow us to get the shoot running before they needed to get to the line. We have gathered them and created a new Squad 18. If you were previously squad 18 or higher, you are now +1: old squad 18 -> new squad 19; old squad 19 -> new squad 20, etc. Our volunteers are the first to arrive and the last to leave - thanks for accommodating them so they can have a good shoot as well!
We are happy to announce the shoot dates for the 2012 season are: February 11, March 10, April 14, May 5*, June 9, July 14, August 4*, September 8, and October 13th - The Grand.
We are finalizing the club rotation and will have it available by September. Please note that the May 5th and August 4th dates are the FIRST Saturday of the month instead of our traditional second Saturday of the month. These dates were chosen to minimize conflicts with The Golden West Grand held in Reno, NV and The ATA Grand American held in Sparta, IL.
Sunshine Report - Mike Robinson is doing very well after heart by-pass surgery and should be back shooting in 3 months.
