In 2016, Rick Moore, a North Country school superintendent fresh from a superintendent's conference, approached his school board about a new kind of co-ed sports activity for the students -- - an idea that has since rapidly caught on many districts across Upstate New York.

Great.

More pricks that'll grow up and want to close the rifle and pistol range like four times a week. :rolleyes:

I kid, I kid! Very cool.

From what I have heard this was very successful in my area. The other local Club (Hudson Falls Fish & Game ) that hosted a few schools and approached my Club about hosting. Held a end of seaon match that saw 135 shooters compete! We did host one local school with another looking to join in next season.

Pick up those hulls!

Some 5 gallon buckets would sure be nice for that. Our club is home field for the Gowanda Trap Team. From what I understand they did very well last year and interest is growing, which is nice to see. The school of course wants nothing to do with it. Our club seems to be pretty big on trap and added another field last year bringing us to 4 total. We started holding ATA events and theres some big trap event this Saturday, although I honestly can't remember what it is.

This is a great program - but there is / or was, legislation proposed in NY state to PROHIBIT ANY FIREARMS RELATED SPORTS, INCLUDING ARCHEY, -FROM TAKING PLACE IN ANY NY SCHOOL DISTRICTS. -- I'm not sure if this has been voted on, - any of you guys have any knowledge about that legislation?

Heard about the one in Dundee last year. My ex is moving back to the area for next school year. I’ll have to talk to a few people and see if my son can get involved.

Some clubs, depending on their rules, consider ALL hulls that hit the ground to be their property. A dedicated trap or skeet shooter will generally keep his hulls for reloading.
