NOVICE PROGRAM:
Participants:
Fredericton Trap and Skeet club, co-sponsored by the Fredericton Chapter of the Ruffed Grouse Society, is pleased to confirm the launch of our 2008 Novice Program! This is a foreseen needed investment with the younger generations to promote continued interest in recreational shotgun sports. Our program will provide exposure to the organization of our club and a shoot program that includes instruction and mentoring.
Novice is defined as any individual less than 19 years of
age, or any student less then 25. All novices
must be a member of FTSC and have been, or will be, issued a membership card
clearly identifying them as belonging to this category.
All targets will be offered to
a Novice at 50% of regular member rates for all of 2008. As such, 25 targets (1 round) will cost
$2.50, while our shoot cards (10 rounds) will also be available at a cost of $20,
and these prices will apply to trap, skeet and sporting clays.
Ammo will be offered to a
Novice at club rates, minus $3.00 per box, up to a maximum of 25 boxes. All Novices
will be given the option to purchase the ammo up front (currently $3.00 per box,
but prices may change), or pay as you go. After a Novice has consumed this amount,
ammo will continue to be offered, but, at normal club cost; however, nothing
prevents the participant from supplying his/her own ammo.
Starting April 5, and on the subsequent two Saturdays, specific training sessions will
be held at the club from
The program is focused on
skeet, trap and sporting clays, as follows:
April 5: 10:00AM:
Introduction to FTSC, safety, shotgun techniques, skeet
April 12: 10:00AM: Safety, shotgun techniques, trap
April 19: 10:00AM: Safety, shotgun techniques,
sporting clays
And for the remainder of
year, Novices are encouraged to engage in regular club shooting. Club members
will act as mentors. Special clinics may be organized if the need arises. And
for all organized tournaments at FTSC in 2008, entry fees for a Novice will be
50% of the regular entry.
If you have questions, please
contact me by phone (450-3215), by internet (clarkia@nbnet.nb.ca), or at my address.
Otherwise, I expect to see you on April 5. The Ruffed Grouse Society will be
represented that day to announce further details of their sponsorship.
Sincerely
Program Chair
George Lindsay
