The 2009 ATA schedule for Glen Park Izaak Walton, Merrillville, IN is posted at the Indiana Trapshooting Association website (click the above). As other Indiana clubs make their 2009 schedules available, they will be posted at the ITA website.

For the first time since Glen Park has had ATA shoots (mid 90's), NO shoots were scheduled for January or February 2009. I imagine now that we don't have any shoots scheduled in -18 degree weather, like 2007, guys will be climbing the walls to shoot ATA in January & February. However, we will start up again in March. We'll bring back the same program, including the 100 straight bounty, sponsored by Mike Anderson Chevrolet of Merrillville, IN.

We also expect to have Cabela's of Hammond, IN come back for a 2nd year as a sponsor for our Fall Trophy Shoot in October. And we're planning on having the 2nd annual National Trapshooting Day Shoot in late September. I'll be trying to get sponsors for some better trophies.

Practice trap shooting during the winter months will remain unchanged: Wednesdays 5-9 and Saturdays 11-2 or 3 depending on demand. The bar will be open after shooting on Wednesday nights.

As usual, I'm always interested in constructive comments, or complaints. Comments I can handle, complaints I forward to those with a higher pay grade.

And for those that just need to get out and shoot, Griffith Ikes will be shooting on New Year's Day, 10:30 - 4:00 pm, practice, games and lunch will be available. I figured I'd get a free lunch if I gave them a plug.

Just a gentle reminder, there will be NO ATA shoot this Sunday, the 4th.

It looked like Griffith Ikes had a decent turnout yesterday. But, alas, no free lunch, even though I tried to promote them. I guess having a brother-in-law running the shoot didn’t cut it for me. No wonder your sister denies knowing you when asked if she’s related to you.

Bill, I will be getting you and Roger a flyer for Rick Marshall Jr's clinic to attach to these threads, as well as send out to the membership, if that's ok. Check the "Clinic" thread, and give me a call if there are questions. I'd like to run some things by you...Tom Strabavy

Bill, they had Chili and Cheeseburgers at the bar, when I asked how much he said on the house, but they were taking donations. You did leave early maybe it wasnt ready yet.

Sarge, that's what Wayne told me yesterday, no charge. Larry was getting a little testy about making lunch, and I had to leave.

Tom - I was going to put something about the clinic in the flyer for our next ATA Shoot for March. I will post that flyer to the ATA website when our dates are posted, with a link to Rick's website. If there is anything else I can do, email me. Otherwise, I'll give you a call later today or tomorrow.

Tom - Check your email. I've attached a draft flyer of our March ATA shoot. This will be posted on the ATA website & emailed to ATA shooters in my ATA database. Let me know what you think. I generally mail out only postcard reminders of our shoots a few times a year. I use postcards to cut down on postage costs.
