New Years Day Shoot

[J.B. Books]

I want to check in and see how many folks are interested in getting together on New Years Day 2013 in Barrington NH for a regional PGCA fun shoot as we have done in the past. Sound off if you would like me to open up the skeet and trap fields at the Major Waldron Sportsmans Association.

Thanks for asking Pete.

As for myself, due to other obligations, I would only be able to make it if it were held on the weekend before New Year's Day. And I believe the following weekend is taken up by a show. (for me anyhow)

Pete, New Years being on a Tuesday makes it hard for Danny and I to make it up there. What with work and all. We really hate to miss this great day but the logistics are a problem.

Dave and Dean I certainly understand the logistics of traveling any distance is made more difficult with work on either side of the holiday.

The idea of NYD shoot started in 2009 when the holiday fell on Thurs, the following year on Friday. On those days the club facilities were dormant so scheduling such an event was simple to do. Last year the holiday fell on a Sunday and the club agreed to cancel it's scheduled Sunday Skeet shooting to accomodate us. Major Waldron's has an active group of trap shooters on Sat mornings and an active group of Skeet shooters on Sun Mornings. When we interrupt the scheduled shooting we could cost the club lost revenue unless our atendance is great enough to equal or exceed normal operations.

It would be my preference to not interfere with the club's normal shooting schedule unless turn out is going to be strong and I am not sure how to predict that.

Finally, there is/was something special (to me anyways) of having held it on NYD as a way to ring in/celebrate the start of new year.

I agree with ya Pete. The date means something to me on a personal level so I hope we can make it work. Count me in and hopefully we keep the tradition going touching off some 4 drams of 2F black in the big five frame to ring in the New Year.

Dave and Dean, you might not be able to make it but you will hear us!

I can make it up there and will look forward to meeting some of the folks I've been reading in these pages.
