ALL
SHOOTERS ARE WELCOME – Come
Out & Have Some Fun
We encourage and
welcome both experienced shooters and “newbies”
along with club members and non-members.If
you know nothing about skeet or trap but want to
try it, come out and attend an event and talk to
those of us who shoot. There is a wealth of
knowledge and experience to be shared within
this group. We are glad to cover the rules of
the game, shooting techniques to break the
birds, the skills to practice and provide any
other help you might need. By tapping into our
group’s knowledge of the sport, you might even
save some money as you get started by
understanding the right/best equipment to
purchase. On the other hand, if you are an
experienced shooter be ready for a challenge…
mixed birds, winds, weather (just like a
hunt).
It
takes about 25 minutes to shoot a round of Skeet
and Trap takes a bit less time. A round
consists of 6 shooters for Skeet and 5 shooters
for Trap. The teams then shoot together on the
respective courses. The squads are assembled
based upon the shooters order of
registration. If there are more
shooters than permitted in each round, those
individuals in the overflow will get to shoot
the next round and can help if desired, which
makes things go faster. If less than a full
squad of shooters is on deck, it is still
permissible to begin the round.If we
have more participants, we will shoot more
rounds.
FEES
The fee for A.L.G.C. Members is
$5.00 per round (25 birds)
The fee for Non-members is $6.00
per round (25 birds)
**Note - Change is not always available,
so please bring the correct amount of
cash
to cover the number of rounds you anticipate
shooting.
EQUIPMENT
& SUPPLIES TO BRING
To shoot, you MUST
have eye and ear protection. You
need a shotgun and ammo. We are limited to
using #9, #8, or #7-1/2 shell loads. For
shotguns, we shoot 12, 20, 28, and .410 gauge.
All types of shotguns capable of holding 2
rounds are permitted (Semi-auto, Over &
Under, Tactical). From experience, we know the
cost of the gun does not make a better shooter!
We
shoot American Skeet.

COLD
WEATHER & FOUL WEATHER CONSIDERATIONS
We
generally continue shooting until the shooters
are cold, soaked, out of ammo, or tired.
We do have a small house (we call it the
Birdhouse) to warm up or cool down in when the
weather is inclement.The
weather.... well if it is a blizzard then we
won't shoot. We try to shoot every day
that is posted on the schedule, and have shot in
the rain, wind, cold etc. If
it starts pouring when you get there.... you
might not want to stand in the rain and shoot!
Always bring boots if it has been raining, as we
do get some standing water.!
