Winter League

Feb 12-13 update:

While the temperatures tonight will be cold, we don't want to push league out another week, as we know there are shooters who have already planned their work/travel schedules which may not be able to be changed.

Here is the plan for this week (Week 5):

• Today: We will open for shooting at 4:00 pm and close at 8:00 pm (shooters must be on the line by 7:30 pm). NO SHOOTING AHEAD will be permitted tonight, so that we can get through shooting as quickly as possible. Only traps P, 1, 2 and 3 will be open.

• Tomorrow: Normal operations. Shooting ahead will be permitted.

For the safety of our trap kids, each trap will have three kids assigned, who will rotate so that each one will only be outside for ~20 minutes at a time. Be generous with your tips tonight!

Registration is now closed!

Welcome to Weeks 1-5 of Winter League. Here are some reminders for league shooting:

• Shooting order is locked down. If you have any changes in the order, we will make them at the end of week 5, when we re-print all the scoresheets and make the new scoreboard.

• Substitutions in your line-up must be approved by the Board of Directors. Violation of this rule will result in the team being disqualified from Winter League. Exception is for 5-man teams who are adding a 6th shooter. 

• League shooting is done on Wednesdays & Thursdays, 5:00-10:00 pm (last squad MUST be signed up by 9:00 pm).

• The first five weeks are used for handicapping; all shooters will shoot a total of 50 targets: 25 targets from the 16-yd line and 25 targets from the 24-yd line

• During this first five weeks, a shooter may shoot ahead or from behind.

• Shooting may be cancelled due to extreme weather conditions. Make plans to shoot ahead if necessary. No scoring adjustments will be made for weather closures. Check www.flatheadtrapclub.org or facebook.com/fvctc for closure announcements. 

• Shoot with your team! Teams must have more than half of its shooters shooting together to avoid the $5 misfit fee.  

• Eye and ear protection must be worn on the trap field: 1st offense, warning; 2nd offense, black 50 for the shooter that week.

• Do not tip the trap help prior to shooting your round.

• No picking up of empty hulls on the trap fields.
