Trap and Field's Around the ATA article from the Atlantic Provinces ATA Delegate
September, 2021
Hello from the Atlantic Provinces.
ATA registered shooting is starting to ramp up at clubs throughout the Atlantic Provinces.
The Highland Gun Club in Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia held well-attended Singles and Doubles marathons on July 3 and 24. Doug Blades topped the Singles scores while Jim Hannah had the Doubles high score.
The Petitcodiac Sportsman’s Club in Petitcodiac, New Brunswick held a 200 target registered shoot on July 17. Brian Blades, Kevin Clannon, Ken d’Eon and Jim Hannah topped the Singles scores with 96s. Ken d’Eon also shot a 96 in the Handicap to earn a ½ yard and a punch to the 24 yard line.
The St. John’s Rod and Gun Club and the Stephenville Shooting Club held the Newfoundland and Labrador Trapshooting Championships on July 17. The satellite shoot held in 2020 seemed to encourage more local participation so the two clubs decided to try the same format again this year. Troy Coldwell claimed the Singles and Doubles with 97s in both events. John Tucker claimed the Handicap Championship with a 96 to earn a ½ yard punch to the 21 yard line.
Complete shoot results are available on www.shootatlantic.com.
Preparations are well under way for the 2021 Canadian Trapshooting Championships (CTA 2021) satellite shoot being hosted at eleven clubs in nine provinces across Canada on August 6-8. To manage the shoot, the Canadian Trapshooting Association has developed the CTA Scoreboard - a web-based shoot management application. The CTA Scoreboard also has a public-facing section so shooters can view event results and keep an eye on the top scores through a leaderboard type display. The CTA Scoreboard, a list of host clubs, schedule of events, trophy schedule and a shoot program are all available on www.shootcanada.ca.
The 2021 Atlantic Provinces ATA Provincial Shoot is a go for September 2-5 at the Highland Gun Club in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. COVID-19 restrictions in the Atlantic Provinces continue to ease as a greater percentage of the population are receiving their second COVID-19 vaccine shot. Reopening plans in all four Atlantic Provinces are on schedule and the Atlantic Provinces are open to the rest of Canada. Complete results will be posted on shootatlantic.com and on the CTA Scoreboard on the Canadian Trapshooting Association’s webpage – www.shootcanada.ca.
