"We look forward to reasserting our claim, loudly disputed by our friends in Morris, that we have the best trap and sporting clays club in Illinois, north of Brittany and Sparta"

Sporting what?

Ummm....well....whatever.

As SCSC is north of I-80 and east of I-39, realistically, you are in an entirely different country than than Brittany and Sparta.

Vanitatem. The curse of Chicago.

Bad choice Cle-

Targets- DGSC

Facility- DGSC

Food- DGSC

Game over, Harv- your friend @ DGSC

Neither club, while quite nice, are in the same league as Northbrook Sports Club.

Leave it to trap shooters to turn a simple announcement into a pi$$ing match...

Everyone has their favorite club, and I'm sure all of the mentioned clubs have the goal to be "the best". I'm just happy that we have all 3 (plus a few others) such a short distance from Chicago.

Harv. You are spot on !! Why would Cle have to bring up Techpro ?? "Those that live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones"

 

[Mongoose71]

JPSemper, yes Northbrook is having a shoot this Sunday.

 

[JPSemper]

Thanks. I didn't see the shoot advertised anywhere. I guess I'll be at Northbrook on Sunday!

I stay out of club politics. I just want to shoot and get along with the folks at the clubs. And these two clubs are great places to shoot - St Charles Sportsman's Club in Elburn, IL and Downers Grove Sportsman's Club in Morris, IL.

Northbrook? Haven't been there to shoot just yet. I look forward to it.

 

[Bruce Specht]

I've been to most of the clubs in the area with the exception of Northbrook, and I amm enjoyed each of the clubs. All a bit different but nice people great targets and I've enjoyed every outing.

 

[Harv Shell]

All should realize between Cle & I it's all good natured ribbing between shooters, even if I am telling the truth! HaHa, Harv

I must say that I cannot believe the BALLS that some people have. Due to my professional experience I know better than to make unproven public allegations against others. As written above, I am always surprised when people do not take into account the “Glass House” theory when they make certain statements or other communications.

It further occurs to me that certain veteran members of the SCSC would have made superb Chicago Politians if they had chosen that career path.

As Paul Harvey would say, “The rest of the story” will no doubt be revealed some day……… For those who care about the whole story. Or, perhaps it will not come out. Politians are pretty good at suppressing information too.

The first paragraph says it all. The rest of the post shows bad taste.

Yes, there is a registered shoot tomorrow at Northbrook. It's 300 birds, targets only, 100 birds per trap on four fields. Targets are $26.00 per event, plus $3.00 for the ATA.

Registration is in the great room in the clubhouse at 9:00, shooting at 10:00. Excellent food, and a new outdoor pavilion with proper furniture.

Targets are set, all the mikes work fine. I shot them all this afternoon.

Weather tomorrow is supposed to be perfect: 80 degrees, mostly sunny, wind SE at 12 MPH.

Northbrook trap is back. We're a little short on trap capacity at the moment, but we plan to have six traps running by Labor Day when we have our Illini Indian Shoot.

Euro Joe, Who's competing? I thought this was an announcement not a challenge...?

To all who have problems with the original post on this thread:

Cle did NOT author the Note to our Website Visitors part of his post. It is on the Club website written, presumably, by the current BoD. The attribution to TechPro is theirs, not Cle's.

For those who missed it or didn't read the end of what Cle authored:

"New viewers will note an Important Notice box on the website homepage. That notice IS important and reads as follows:

St. Charles Sportsmen’s Club

Note to Our Website Visitors...."

I believe some apologies are due. If you think what the BoD wrote is improper, offensive etc., take it up with them.

No challenge intended, all good clubs.
