Illinois State Championship Still Target Shoot

[allaboutshooting]

The Illinois State Championship Still Target Shoot will take place this Saturday, July 28th, at the Rend Lake Shooting Complex http://www.rendlakesc.com/location.htm beginning at 9:00 a.m. (CDST)

We will shoot 20 Gauge Open, 12 Gauge Open, 20 Gauge Ladies and 20 Gauge JAKES (17 & under) Classes.

All guns must be capable of chambering a 3" shell; barrel and choke may not exceed 32"; all types of sights are allowed; eye and ear protection is required; all shots are at a paper target with a 3" red circle and only those pellets completely within the red circle (not touching the black outer ring) will be counted; shots are at 40 yards with the muzzle of the shotgun behind the 40 yard line; shotshells are furnished by the organizer and no other ammunition may be on the grounds.

Squad winners and class winners will be awarded prizes. In addition, winners of both 1st and 2nd place in each class will qualify for "seats" in the semi-finals at the World Championship Still Target Shoot to be held in Edgefield, SC the first weekend in October.

This is a family friendly event. No alcoholic beverages are allowed and gun safety rules are strictly enforced.

If you've ever wanted to attend a still target shoot or just see what one is really all about, this is your opportunity.

We'd love to see you there.

Thanks,
Clark

Thank you. It looks like it's going to be another very hot day in SI. Yes, the shells are always furnished by the organizer. That does keep the playing field level.

Thanks again,

We had a great event, with shooters from 4 states. The weather cooperated, and we had shade for the shooters and judges. I believe everyone enjoyed themselves and went home happy.

Doris won her class very convincingly. I did not fare so well. I shot both the 12 gauge and 20 gauge classes but did not place in either.

Steve Conover won both of those classes, Doris won the Ladies and Skyler Peterman, a new shooter from Carbondale, IL won the JAKES class.

We also had several other new shooters. It was a good day.

Thanks,
Clark
