Trap and Field's Around the ATA article from the Atlantic Provinces ATA Delegate
August, 2019
Hello from the Atlantic Provinces.
Congratulations to Nova Scotia’s Barry Turner for a great showing at this year’s Great Lake Grand. Barry shot well and took home several trophies - High Veteran in two handicap events, High Veteran in the MTA Singles and Veteran Runner-up in the Championship Handicap. Barry provided a complete shoot writeup which is posted in the APTA Abroad section of shootatlantic.com
Members of the St. John’s Rod and Gun Club in Newfoundland and Labrador have been busy preparing for this year’s ATA Provincial Shoot, which is being held over the Labour Day weekend. One unexpected item was the complete rebuild of our oldest traphouse. The traphouse build has gone smoothly, with most of the labour coming from club members. If you’re interested in seeing the building of a traphouse from start to finish, check out our progress on shootatlantic.com.
Presquadding is now open for this year’s Atlantic Provinces ATA Provincial Shoot. Shooters requiring ammunition for the shoot should check the notice in the shoot program for ordering details. All ammunition must be ordered by August 1 to guarantee shoot delivery.
New for this year’s Atlantic Province’s ATA Provincial shoot is the Atlantic Provinces High Over All Lewis – a $1000 Added Money Lewis on the High Over All with no entry fee and a guaranteed payout. This purse is being brought to you by the Atlantic Provinces Trapshooting Association, the St. John's Rod and Gun Club and our shoot sponsors.
Would you like to have your entry fees covered for the 2020 Atlantic Provinces ATA Provincial Shoot? All you need to do is attend local ATA registered shoots and participate in our ATA Provincial Shoot. If you meet the requirements, you’ll be eligible for the Atlantic 1000 Purse. Nova Scotia’s Ken d’Eon did just that last year and will have his championship event entries paid for by the shooters at the St. John’s Rod and Gun Club.
