NOVICE PROGRAM:
Fredericton Trap and Skeet Club, co-sponsored by the Fredericton Chapter of the Ruffed Grouse Society, is pleased to confirm our 2009 Novice Program! This is a foreseen needed investment with the younger generations to promote continued interest in recreational shotgun sports.
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 will be issued
a membership card clearly identifying them as belonging to this category.
Although prices have
increased slightly, all targets will be
offered to a Novice at 50% of regular member rates for all of 2009. As such, 25 targets (1 round) will cost
$2.50, while our shoot cards (10 rounds) will also be available at a cost of $22.50,
and these prices will apply to trap, skeet and sporting clays.
Ammo will be offered to a Novice at 50% of club rates,
currently $3.50 per box, up to a maximum of 25 boxes. After 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 4, 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 4: 10:00AM:
Introduction to FTSC, safety, shotgun techniques, skeet
April 11: 10:00AM: Safety, shotgun techniques, trap
April 18: 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.
Participants are requested to confirm their interest by contacting me by phone (450-3215), by internet (clarkia@nbnet.nb.ca), or at my address.
Sincerely
Program Chair
