Club News Sorry, this month’s newsletter is a little late again. Am still blaming my 4 month old Labrador Retriever puppy, Jack. What a handful! He’s growing up fast so I’m finally getting more time in my office.

The trapshoot saw 13 shooters firing at 2,200 targets.

Alberto Lopez led the Singles with a lone 95 followed

by Angel Estevez with a 94.

Handicap was led by Enrique Beret and Steve Norris, both with 91’s. Angel Estevez led the Doubles with a lone 87.

There were 8 skeet shooters who fired at 950 targets at the last shoot. The Ford’s dominated the shoot with Ed leading the 12 ga. and Luke taking the 20, 28, .410, and HOA. Nice shooting guys!

The Sporting Clays shoot saw 37 shooters firing at 3,700 targets. Alex Riera and Rodrigo Mehich led the event with 89’s.

Rocky Long and Donovan Amritt followed with 87’s, leading AA and D respectively.

As you can see by the cover, Reanna Frauens had an outstanding week at the SCTP National Championships.

She has been a part of our Youth Program for two years. As a competitor, Reanna has dealt with the pressure, the targets, and her success with incredible aplomb and humility. What an wonderful young lady and we couldn’t be more proud and happy for her.

See you at the Club.

Magazine Review Shotgun Sports – August 2018 Dave Berlet’s short biography on Joe Hiestand is wonderful reading. I never met Joe. He was ending his career just as I was starting. Wish I had, he sounded like an incredible Hall of Famer.

on a short squad, dry-firing at one of the other shooter’s targets. Concentrate on perfect fundamentals execution. Also try out new hold and focal points while doing the dry-fire exercise.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Deliberate practice is hard to define in trapshooting terms. It’s supposed to be practice that pushes your abilities and stretches your comfort zone.

Mark H. Taylor suggests some good practice ideas, but I wouldn’t necessarily call it deliberate. First, lock the trap on either a right or left angle and shoot three targets on each post. The takeaway from this is being able to practice one specific target without the fear or threat of a variable target, not a bad idea. This isn’t advanced training however.

Mark’s next suggestion is reading the break, something few trapshooting writers advise. Mark suggests applying how and where you are breaking the target to the stationary trap exercise.

Make corrections to your fundamentals until you are centering each target.

Finally, on-field, dry-firing exercises are a good idea. Clay Floyd used to do this. Buy a round and shoot the targets with no shell in the gun. I do this

Magazine Review CLAYTARGET NATION – July 2018 Your shooting identity is comprised of your shooting wants and needs and your shooting goals both short and long term. John Shima believes we should get to know this version of yourself. By understanding what you want from shooting you can more effectively establish goals and training programs to accomplish them. Better understanding also leads to better focus and a better appreciation of how far you’ve come which can prevent the excessive disappointment you experience when you fall short of your goals.

To realize a specific shooting goal, focus on the task at hand, do what you need to do to get there, learn what you need to learn to see it through. Don’t get lost in disappointment when you fall short. Remember how far you have come and you will see you are closer to your goal than you may think, even when you fall short. Dwell on how far you have come, not on how far you have yet to go. _________________________________________________________________________________________

Not sure what Clayton M. Rue III is getting at in this month’s article about sight picture. The sight picture is the relationship between the target and the barrels. To achieve the correct relationship Clayton insists we must have: a high comb and the right focal point. Clayton believes we should see the whole rib in our peripheral vision, thus the high comb. Personally, I can’t stand to see rib in my visual field, but that’s me. Don’t let the barrels block your dominant eye is the point he is trying to get across. Keep the barrels beneath the target’s flight line and set a focal point to ensure your dominant eye has an unobstructed view. Visually grab the leading edge of the target with your dominant eye and focus intently on it and your sight picture will form as it should.

We are always told not to think when we shoot but not thinking is an impossibility.

Gil and Vicki Ash give some ideas this month on how to deal with the thinking and the act of shooting. Engage your mind correctly is the solution. Just know, focus on the target and your conscious will feed good info to the subconscious mind. One other good piece of advice, visualize the shot before you call for the target. A pre-planned shot is usually more successful than one taken without the slightest thought. _____________________________________

TRAP & FIELD – July 2018 Bob Palmer’s signature technique is visualization and this month’s advice is just that. No one likes missing or

the consequential pain and anguish it brings. Bob suggests we relive the miss in our mind, visualizing how we reacted. Look at ourselves in the third person. We should note the slumped shoulders and downtrodden look we assumed. Now step in and redirect ourselves. Run through the visualization again except this time, smile, stand up straight and don an air of confidence. Change your attitude towards missing and you will get over it much sooner. Good advice, no matter how you accomplish it.

Skeet Results

The whole secret to mastering the game of golf – and this applies to the beginner as well as the pro – is to cultivate a mental approach to the game that will enable you to shrug off the bad days, keep patient and know in your heart that sooner or later you will be back on top.

Youth Program

Well, as you can see from the cover, Reanna Frauens, one of our Youth Program shooters was very successful at the SCTP Championships this summer. Besides beating all Lady competitors in the Trap event by three targets, she also did well in other events. In Doubles Trap she finished Third overall in Ladies, in Sporting Clays she lead the National in Ladies Senior Varsity, and in one of the games events she beat 550 competitors and won a gun! She got to the final of the Make a Break event, losing to the Champion of the Sporting Clays event. What a week. We are so proud of Reanna! Doesn’t matter whether a student wants to learn the basics or become a National Champion, our Youth Program is there for all of our students.
