FFA 2023 Regional Trap Shooting Competition

10/24/2023

0 Comments

 
After a practicing at Old Skagit for the month of October, FFA District 1 held its annual regional competition.  The following report was submitted by Heather Jackson, MOSGC Secretary:
​The weather was not ideal Tuesday night for the FFA District 1 Shoot; however the youth shooters braved the wet and cold with excitement and determination. The pride in FFA, sportsmanship and camaraderie was evident throughout the night. Burlington - Edison was once again the top team with a high score of 184 & also had the top shooter, Evan Sitton, with a 49. Congratulations! We all look forward to the fall when the FFA returns for practice, competitions, and especially the District Shoot! To this years seniors, we wish you continued success in your future education/career endeavors and hope to see you back at OSGC soon. Every year the targets for the District Shoot are provided by OSGC; this year Edison Sportsman’s Club stepped in & provided all the ammunition! Thank you Edison Sportsman’s Club!! All of the FFA shoots this year ran like a well oiled machine due to our tireless volunteers, THANK YOU!

FFA and Youth Shooting at Old Skagit

11/7/2022

0 Comments

 
Throughout the year Old Skagit supports youth shooters by subsidizing their shooting expense through reduced trap fees.  And in October and November trapshooting teams from FFA District 1 meet at the club to practice their skills, readying themselves for the Region 1 Trapshooting Competiton held in November.
A message from Moose Old Skagit Gun Club President:
​
As you gaze around our world today, it’s difficult to find a lot of things that make you smile; however, our club on a fall Tuesday afternoon can cure that.  Our new expanded parking lot has been overflowing with the cars of family members cheering for their children’s shooting participation.  For well over 20 years, we’ve subsidized the expense of shooting for those 18 years old & younger & wow is all I can say. 

Do you know that not one young person has suffered from a concussion or sprung wrist while competing at our club unlike local football programs?

Look at the south wall of our warehouse which displays the signage of local companies supporting young people.  You can say that a few people do all the work, not at our place with over a dozen adults (pictured below) volunteering to score & coordinate activities on brisk fall evenings.

Every year we have to raise $5000.00 to provide half price targets for young shooters & like everything else that number increases with higher target cost & the greater number of kids participating.  There is no place where young people can compete with adults on a level playing field like trap shooting.  This results in a great & rare opportunity to mentor these young adults.  Us with grey hair complain about the youth of our day but here’s a chance to pass on the values & wisdom of our years.

I’ve never run into one of these high schoolers that didn’t like to shoot & become more proficient, here’s where we can be the old dog showing a pup how it’s done.  I have to afford some caution as it’s a little humbling when the student whips the coach but I’ve seen nothing bolster confidence & self-esteem like this.
​
We take no tax payer dollars for our programs; it’s all private donations or from the profits derived from our operation.

With a dozen public & private schools now competing for top honors in our region, it’s heartwarming to see the success & growth resulting from our club efforts & those that believe in what we do.

I value our relationship.
​
Sincerely,
Chuck

The "Meals on Wheels" Turkey Shoot Fundraiser was once again a success due to all of you who participated in shooting and to those of you who helped out.  A preliminary total of approximately $7000 was raised in support of this community organization.
Also, congratulations to Don Reimers and Chuck Manning for winning the "Pig Shoot".  (No pigs but many clay targets were shot to determine the winners.)  Enjoy the good eating from your meat prize-package gentlemen!
