Kingston & District
Trap, Skeet &
Sporting Clays Club Our annual Butter Tart
Fun Shoot was held on Sat
Mar 22nd, 2014 and
proved, as always, to be a
huge success.
Despite the sudden snow-
fall, we were determined to
press on with our commit-
ment and are glad we did
as the sun eventually ap-
peared later in the day.
Glad to see shooters from
neighboring clubs partici-
pating in the event. Sever-
al prizes were donated and
distributed to shooters with
Colin Campbell winning
1st prize for the raffle draw
worth $600—Congrats!
The huge turnout proves
that this shoot is a popular
one and we look forward to
next year’s shoot.
We would like to thank
the Italo Club for pre-
paring the pasta din-
ner.
Thanks also extended
to the following mem-
bers for their assis-
tance: Frank Spindler,
Tony Raponi, Michael
Wilson, Carly Rozins,
John Wigle, Michael
Ivanic, George Difederi-
co, Dave and Jennifer
Wollin, Brian Andersen,
Tom MacFarlane and Kyle
Voigt.
Special thanks to all who
donated items for prizes
and silent auctions.

site for details on upcoming

ID Tags — Wear them please!
All members whom have
purchased or renewed their
membership for 2014 have
received in their welcome
package, an ID Tag.
These tags serve two pur-
poses. First is to identify
the member as having paid
in full their 2014 member-
ship, and second, to display
their identity to other
shooters. According to our
Range Officer, these ID
Tags are required to be
worn while on the range.
The executive has mandat-
ed that ALL shooters will
wear their ID Tag or Guest
Tag (as required) while at
the club.
Please ensure that you
obey this instruction and
enforce it amongst other
shooters.
Thank you.

Butter Tart — HUGE SUCCESS!
April 2014
Volume 1, Issue 2 Spring Newsletter SHOTGUN SPORTS
As many of you are
aware, the skeet ma-
chine in high house,
field 2 has been unser-
viceable and subject to
numerous attempts to
repair with no luck.
That machine had
seen more then it’s
share of thrown clays
so it was discussed,
researched, and decid-
ed to move forward
and purchase 2 new
Briley - Mattarelli
Skeet machines. To
take advantage of
shipping and customs
costs, the club part-
nered with the Ottawa
Skeet Club to purchase
the machines collec-
tively with their pur-
chase.
These new machines
will certainly enhance
our capability and en-
sure consistency for
target launching from
the field houses.
Lets all be proactive to ensure that
these machines are treated with care
by performing regular preventative
maintenance and reporting any defect
or inconsistent operation of the units.
These units have the capability to
expand to voice/wireless operation.
For those members who contributed
towards the purchase of these ma-
chines in the form of a donation, we
would like to thank you!
Many members have inquired refer-
ence shooting sporting clays and it
has certainly become a popular topic.
What we need to do is have a small
work party of volunteers to transit
through the sporting clay range of all
ten stations to perform a clean up and
functional check of the manual ma-
chines. This would include target re-
plenishment and ensuring the station
platforms/stands are in good repair.
Since our recent approval from the
CFO with respect to adjusting our
Sporting Clays stations in eliminating
shot-fall interference with our skeet
and trap fields, we can look forward to
running sporting clay shoots.
The CFO has finally approved us to
run all three disciplines (skeet, trap &
sporting clays), simultaneously. This
is great news!
Please provide your name to the exec-
utive John Wigle (Field Capt), to vol-
unteer to assist with this clean up.
Thanks.

corded system. The system eliminates
the long cord completely. The control-
ler can simply be kept in the puller’s
hand and passed very easily amongst
the shooters during their round skeet.
The club will be purchasing two of
these systems and will run on sepa-
rate frequencies fro each field they are
installed.
Please treat them with care!
Thanks to Patrick, he has found a so-
lution of having to pull the pull cord
around to each station within the
skeet range over the snow and ice etc.
The solution is a cordless puller con-
troller that operates from a wireless
modem installed at the power recepta-
cle. The controller runs from a 9v bat-
tery and has the exact same configu-
ration of high, low and doubles as our
New Cordless Squadpuller System!

The clinic will take place on Sat. Jun

The club’s resident skeet pro, Andy
Spooner, has once again agreed to
offer a skeet clinic for both beginners
and intermediate skeet members, this
June at the club.
Andy held the same clinic last year
and it was met with very positive
feedback from those whom attended.
He provides extremely relevant and
precise instruction while considering
