This event also involves the Hunter Safety Course on Aug. 7th and 8th followed by the Wildlife and Fisheries Banquet on Aug. 21st. This program not only supports the efforts of our Wildlife and Fisheries Department, but also supports the operations of the skeet club throughout the year. This Hunter Safety Course enables the club to educate young people to safely enjoy the sport of hunting, develop an appreciation for outdoor entertainment, and respect our natural resources. If you know anyone who may be interested in taking the Hunter Safety Course, please spread the word about this important program and contact one of the club officer for further information. The course is free to everyone 10 years of age or older, and anyone born after 1970 must take this course in order to obtain a hunting license. At the banquet on Aug. 21st, there will be $1,000 in cash drawings given away. (Ticket holder need not be present to win.) The event begins at 5:00 p.m. with a cash bar and the program begins at 6:00 p.m. followed by a very nice dinner. The cost of the ticket is $100 for two. Through this event, the skeet club is able to maintain their operation throughout the year. Therefore, it is vital to our cowboy town that we support the skeet club in this effort. Tickets will be available at the monthly match if you are interested in supporting the Florida Parishes Skeet and Gun Association.

Club  Announcements

 

Early Posse -  Louisiana Cuz will be heading the “Early Posse” during the months of July through September.   Please contact Cuz during the week prior to match day to let him know that you plan to shoot in the early posse.  There must be at least 10 registered shooters in order for the early posse to shoot and to run an efficient posse.  Registration is a 7:00 a.m. and shooting begins at 7:30 a.m.

 

 

             Quarterly Membership Meeting -  There will be a quarterly membership meeting held after the July match.  If you have any agenda items you would like discussed, please email them to Crazy Emmitt at crazyemmitt@att.net.

 

             Hangin’ at Coyote Creek 2010 - This year’s annual match has been designated as the SASS territorial (regional) black powder championship.  Smokeless categories will also be offered.

 

 

             Prospective Cowboy Shooting Experience -  Malone LaVeigh has offered to give prospective shooters a hand at trying our cowboy guns on match day.  Beginning around 11:00 a.m., prospective shooters are invited to take part in a new shooter experience and have the opportunity to shoot some of the guns used in cowboy action shooting.  Anyone who wishes to give him a hand is welcomed to do so.   If you have friends who are interested in CAS, please invite them to come to a monthly match and try their hand at our sport. 

 

             Camping at the Range  -  Florida Parish Skeet Club Members:  The overnight camping charge at the range $10 per night.  Be sure that the camping fee is paid to Ms. Sally at the skeet club for your overnight stay.
Text Box: WILD BUNCH CATEGORY We have designated the Wild Bunch category to be offered on the first month of each quarter - January, April, July, October HANDGUNS: Two handguns may be used in this category if desired. A shooter may also opt to continue with the former practice of using one handgun and perform a reload. Automatic pistols may be loaded with a round in the chamber with the safety on (must have a functioning safety), and holstered or staged as directed. If the pistol is to be staged out of the holster, the pistol must be brought to the line in a holster, and then properly staged. The use of a double action revolver designed and manufactured prior to 1922 is allowed. Revolvers may be reloaded with the use of half-moon clips. Handguns may be used in the gunfighter style ( ala “Last Man Standing” ). RIFLES: Rifles must still be post 1883 manufacture, however, they may be of design/manufacture up to 1922. Rifles must still be of pistol caliber. The use of automatic pistols with a shoulder stock are still allowed. An automatic pistol used in such a manner as a rifle may be loaded with a round in the chamber and the safety on ( must have a functioning safety ). Maintaining absolute muzzle control is mandatory and will be strictly adhered to. Further, semi-automatic versions of submachine guns of that era are allowed as long as they comply with the guidelines governing main match rifles. SHOTGUNS: The 1897 Winchester shotgun and its clones is still allowed, and the 1887 Winchester shotgun and its clones will also be allowed. Both shotguns may be stoked to capacity or to the number of rounds called for in the stage whichever is lesser. Shotguns will still be staged empty with the action open unless specifically otherwise called for. LONG RANGE RIFLE: Military style rifles pre-1922 will be allowed in a Wild Bunch Category for long range rifle. Optics manufactured prior to 1922 or their clones will be allowed. Lead bullets are required, but may utilize gas checks. It is highly recommended to load ammunition for these rifles at the bottom of the recommended loading guidelines for their respective cartridges. Any round over the berm is an automatic match DQ. RULES: All previous rules governing the Wild Bunch Category are still in effect unless amended by this change. All ammunition will be of pistol caliber ( with the exception of long range rifle ) and composed of lead. No jacketed ammunition is allowed. Automatic pistols may be loaded with a round in the chamber with the safety on (must have a functioning safety), and holstered or staged as directed. If the pistol is to be staged out of the holster, the pistol must be brought to the line in a holster, and then properly staged. An automatic pistol with a shoulder stock used as a rifle may be loaded with a round in the chamber and the safety on ( must have a functioning safety ). Maintaining absolute muzzle control is mandatory and will be strictly adhered to. Shotguns will still be staged empty with the action open unless specifically otherwise called for. Since firearms will be allowed to be loaded with a round in the chamber with the safety on, it is of utmost importance that strict safety be adhered to at the loading table and the firing line. Both the shooter and the loading table officer must verify that the firearm has the safety engaged once the firearm is loaded. NEW SHOOTERS TO WILD BUNCH; Due to these changes and the higher level of safety required, any shooter who has not participated in shooting a Wild Bunch category in a match must take and pass a practical orientation class with either the Range Master or a New Shooter Instructor. Further, any shooter who is deemed to not be safe and or sufficiently proficient in the use of Wild Bunch firearms must take and pass a practical orientation class for shooting Wild Bunch prior to shooting that category again. Any range officer ( this includes loading table officers ) who experiences a shooter who demonstrates unsafe and or poor handling of Wild Bunch firearms, will immediately stop the shooter from continuing the stage. The shooter has the option to finish the match using standard main match SASS firearms, and will be placed in the appropriate category. A practical orientation will include the shooter demonstrating the proper safe and proficient use of the firearms to be used in the Wild Bunch category.
