Title: Spokesman Review Telegraphic Trap Shoot Competition 2018!
Post by: Calvin Rayborn on January 10, 2018, 10:04:57 PM: 100th year of the competition! Just opened last Sunday and will continue every Sunday for the next 7 weeks at participating trap ranges across the Spokane/Columbia Basin/SE Washington areas. Any public participants welcome (check with your local gun club for specifics). Price to compete is the cost of a practice session (around $5 - bring your own shells) and high scores will be posted in the Spokesman-Review Newspaper (scores were "telegraphed" to the newspaper back in 1918) and online...Support YOUR local gun range and the great sport of TRAP SHOOTING! :tup:

Post by: Henrydog on January 15, 2018, 06:31:12 AM: Ahhhh you sound like me C Money. I dropped bird 7 and I have no idea what I did wrong...my damn kid ran another 25. Keep your kid shooting, it gives me a empty wallet and a lower self esteem :chuckle:

Post by: C-Money on January 15, 2018, 10:21:29 AM: Between Hockey and trap shooting, the kids keep me pretty broke! Sure is fun though, and pretty good reasons to be broke.

Post by: Calvin Rayborn on January 16, 2018, 10:33:59 PM: It's tough shooting cold (1st round is the one that counts at my gun club)! Don't know if that's how all competing clubs do it?
Title: Re: Spokesman Review Telegraphic Trap Shoot Competition 2018!
Post by: Henrydog on January 17, 2018, 06:08:25 AM: You are right Calvin....the Spokesman is 16 yards and it has to be on Sunday, and it has to be cold gun. After we shoot singles for the Spokesman we move back and shoot handicap for a club competition.

Post by: Henrydog on February 23, 2018, 07:28:28 AM: Anyone going to the ATA shoot Saturday in Colton...I have been looking forward to it for 4 months since my last registered shoot and the forecast is calling for blowing and drifting snow with 2-6" and 25mph guests. I don't know if I should waste money to lower my average and freeze my @ss off or not.

Post by: C-Money on February 26, 2018, 06:59:32 AM: Did you make it to Colton?
Title: Re: Spokesman Review Telegraphic Trap Shoot Competition 2018!
Post by: Henrydog on February 26, 2018, 08:13:08 AM: Colton....wow Yup I made it, I should have stayed home. No snow between Spokane and Colfax and then it was pretty rough. End of singles the snow was blowing under my glasses and I could barely make out the birds. Handicap was a rough I think a 88 won it.

Post by: C-Money on February 26, 2018, 09:16:00 AM: Oh wow!! Glad you were able to go.
