Missouri Fall Handicap.

For all the right reasons:

Great targets

Great Management

Friendly People

Great Location (Lake of the Ozarks)

Lots of prizes, added money and option money given back to shooters

Bosco's Gun Club at Lancaster Missouri. That's just south of the Iowa/Missouri border. I haven't looked at where Dubuque is located in relation to Lancaster, MO.

Bosco runs a good shoot and has excellent food. He shoots every Saturday and I think his first registered shoot for this year will be April 28th.

Ohio's 3 shoots are big (some of the biggest) and well run. Hard to beat 50 plus acres of campers and easy access to the trap fields with shopping, rooms, dining, and entertainment minutes away.

Check Cardinal Campground on the web.

I agree 100% with mette56, the Missouri Fall Handicap is wonderful. I would add the Grand, because it is the Grand! Martinpicker

Remington Man,

I'm not sure what you consider close but the Owatonna Gun Club in Hope MN is

about 250 miles from you and we will holding our 16th Annual Cabela shoot

June 6th,7th,8th and 9th. We have added a extra day this year and have avg 150

participants per day in the past. Send me your email address and I will send a

program when they are printed. We have limited camping on site and local

motels in Owatonna about 10 miles away. Along with the shoot we have shooters

supper on Saturday night free to the shooters and in the past have had Cabela's

offer employee discount the days of the shoot with ATA hard card. Cabela store

about 13 miles north of club.

These clubs host weekend events consisting of State zone shoots, The Iowa state shoot, The Heartland satellite Grand American & many other well run & attended ATA events. Check out their websites. Several Dubuque shooters attend these clubs.

I've always wanted to go the Alaska state shoot. Other than that, the Southern Grand at the Silver Dollar, or maybe the Cardinal Center. Of course the Grand in Sparta is on my list.
