December 10, 2007 - Gearing up for 2008!

Greetings and Happy Holidays to all this holiday season!

I am excited to announce that the Washington State Trapshooting Association website has a new look and feel, as well as updated information.

In addition to the updated website, we will be submitting a monthly column in On Target Magazine, which will give us more exposure throughout the Pacific Northwest.  We urge those shooters who don't typically travel to the east side to give our ATA shoots a try!  Some big news for WA Shooters is the selection of the Walla Walla Gun Club as the site for our 2008 State Shoot.  Walla Walla has recently secured a long-term lease and looks to host many fine shoots this year and going forward.  With a comprehensive in-state and non-resident trophy package, we are truly aiming for all who attend to have a good time.  With a trap line overlooking North-facing wheatfields as far as the eye can see, it is a shooter's dream!  Throw in a region of world-class wineries and eclectic entertainment, there is something for everyone in Walla Walla.  There is plenty of RV parking, but it is best to reserve your space early. 

The 2008 Inland Empire Handicap will be held in Spokane, and the Spokane Gun Club, and promises to be yet again, a fantastic 5 day shoot! 

Speaking of fantastic shoots, congratulations to the Spokane Gun Club for being chosen to host the Western Satellite Grand, in September.  Please make plans to attend, as shooter participation will reflect where the shoot is awarded, going forward.

Remember....the ATA Big 50 is an excellent way to bring new shooters to our clubs!  More information can be found on the ATA website.

That's it for now....enjoy your holidays, stay safe, and break 'em all!
