I am sorry but it doesn’t seem to be enough interest in a skeet league to move forward at this time. Some feedback I have received suggested we do it when it’s warmer. I will follow up in a couple of months.
Club trap shoot is moving ahead with a slight variations. Each month we will shoot on Wednesday or Sunday. I will get this posted to calendar soon. You will shoot 50 targets on one of those days. Winners will be decided at the end of second day each month.
– Preston
The range will be open January second (and of course as usual Wednesday January third). Start time Tuesday will be 9:30, and can go to around 2:30 if there is interest. Please let Preston (586-215-3060) know if you’re interested in shooting on the second.
| In loving memory of Michael Slugaj, we are saddened to announce his passing on December 22, 2023. Our prayers go out to the Slugaj family. Mike was an avid shotgunner and loved the game of skeet. He was recently recognized by the National Skeet Shooting Association for shooting 50,000 registered targets. We all loved to shoot with Mike because of his humor and gamesmanship. Mike will greatly be missed and will forever remain on our squad.

Our local club had 10 shooters compete in the various disciplines.
The competition and placement was against the entire state not just our zone. Statewide all the competition is on the same weekend, with over 130 kids involved. MVSS is hosting a statewide youth shoot Jan. 12-14. Last year we had somewhere around 100 youth shooting skeet, trap, and sporting clays. Volunteers needed!
