Greetings Shooters!

Well, Spring is finally here and I hope you have been able to get out there on the fields and shoot some targets.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am pro-Michigan Skeet. I believe in shooting the majority of my targets in our state. This helps to keep our sport alive and our clubs paying their bills. I hope that you are able to shoot as many events this year as possible, here in Michi-gan, and I hope to see you at some of them.

Note that on the schedule are some 50 bird/4 event shoots that only require one day participa-tion. Give some of these a try if the economy has tightened your pocketbook, as it has done mine.

The MSA Board of Directors met in April. At that meeting, we decided that we need to cut some costs from our budget and one of those items is our news-letter. It cost us over $5,000 last year to produce the three issues.

Beginning in January, 2010, we will no longer print our newsletter but will place it on our website. You will need to provide us with your email address and you will receive notification that the newsletter is ready. Then you can go to the

website and read the newslet-ter or print off a copy of it (if you prefer paper). For those of our members that do not have an email address – ask a friend to print you a copy when they are on the website. The website www.michiganskeet.com also contains numerous amounts of

information about our organiza-tion (see page 4).

Sometime this year please mail your email address to Trish Bruck at miskeet@comcast.net with the subject line “eMSA news.”

The Board works hard to keep within a budget and still have funds to put on a great State Shoot and pay our bills. We are open to hearing from any of our registered shooters if they have ideas or suggestions for making our organization even better. Feel free to call me at any time, as well as any of the board members, if you have questions.

Please make sure you read the “Information you may want to know” page to keep up on the latest news.

PLEASE NOTE THE RECENT CHANGES LISTED BELOW:

1) The MSA Board approved a reduc-tion in the minimum target requirements, to align with the revised NSSA standards that make you eligible for the All State Teams and NSSA Teams for 2008/9. These may change in the future back to the original amounts, but until further notice the amounts required are: 12Gauge, 1,000 targets; 20 Gauge, 28 Gauge and .410 are 800 targets; Doubles, 500.

2) The MSA Board approved an additional explanation to the requirements to make a State Team for the years going forward. The new addition reads:

Additional requirement for all teams: If only the minimum number of required targets is shot, then all but 200 targets in each gauge/event must be “regular targets” (i.e., not “targets only”). For each 50 or 100 targets above the required “regular targets,” “targets only” are allowed. However, no “targets only” shot after the Michigan State Skeet Championships will be used for determining an individual’s eligibility unless they are needed to make the minimum target requirements.

The next annual Referee Clinic, Shoot Scheduling and Board meeting will be held on Saturday, November 7, 2009 at Saginaw Gun Club at 10:00 a.m. The Referee Clinic will be first, followed by the Shoot Scheduling and the Board meeting.

It is very important that you support our advertisers who do a very important job of off-setting the cost of this newsletter. Next time you do business with one of them, say, “I saw your ad in the MSA Newsletter, thanks for your support of the MSA.”

Genesee Sportsman’s Club

“Springtime Open”On March 15, 2008, Genesee

Sportsman’s Club hosted a very different skeet shoot. Four guns and 50 targets for the days total of 200 targets. This is a new type of shoot that seems to be working for those shooters who cannot be at a two-day shoot. A HOA and shoot-off takes place at the end of the day and the shooter doesn’t need to return on Sunday if he/she is unable to be there. This also keeps the time on the field to a minimum in the cold weather.

Fifteen (15) hearty souls came out to for this early March shoot and George Gilliam ordered wonderful weather for the oc-casion. It was in the high 50’s, sunny and an occasional slight breeze (the best ever weather for this March shoot).

MSANews May 20098

2009 Class All American TeamsCongratulations to our 11 Winners in Michigan !!!

“Class All-American Teams” replaces the “Class All Zone Teams” Teams beginning with the shooting year 2008. Selection is based on the shooter’s beginning regular HOA classification (AAA-E). Classification for new shooters will be based on the first five events of the current year. Targets must be shot at registered shoots or in registered leagues to count for this recognition. Points are the same regardless of the number of competitors in a shoot eliminating geographical differences awarded at registered shoots. They are: 100 points Class 1st in a 100 target event; 75 points Class 2nd in a 100 target event; and 50 points for Class 3rd in a 100 target event. Points will go up and down proportionately based on targets shot. For example a 50 tar-get event would provide 50 points for class first; 37 points for Class 2nd; and 25 points for Class 3rd. Event champion, runner-up and third will get 100 points in their class.

To be considered, a shooter had to shoot NSSA minimums of 800; 800; 800; 800; and 300 doubles. Shoot-ers can track their standings throughout the year on the NSSA website.

• All shooters in AAA-E are eligible if they are classified in the 4 guns and have shot the Class All-American minimum targets including the 300 doubles targets.

• If you are selected to an Open All-American Team you are not eligible for consideration. Selection for an All-American Concurrent Team is not a factor.

• Open All-Americans will be selected first then Class All-Americans to insure there is no duplication.

• League class place will count and be included at the end of the year.

• Monthly targets will not be considered.

• No additional administrative burdens as the computer automatically assigns points based on report-ed class places.

• No need to travel away from local area. Shoot at your surrounding clubs and have an equal chance for consideration.

• Watch your points accumulate at mynssa.com.

The following teams will be selected in Classes AAA-E for a total of 245 shooters each year. First and Second Teams (10 shooters per team) will receive patch, pin and certificate. Honorable Mention Team (15 shooter) will received pin and certificate.

As you can see below thirteen (13) of our Michigan Shooters have been selected. They are listed below with their points. Congratulations to our great Michigan shooters!

May 2009 MSANews 9

Selection to all teams is based upon high average; All-State Team and Concurrent selection is based upon 4-gun HOA average. An individual can only be selected for one team. The order of precedence for selection, and number selected, are:

1. All-State Team - 10

2. 12 Gauge Team - 5

3. 20 Gauge Team – 5

4. 28 Gauge Team – 5

5. .410 Team - 5

6. Doubles Team - 5

7. Concurrent – 1 in each concurrent category (Senior Veteran; Veteran; Senior; Sub-Senior; Sub-Sub-Senior; Triple Sub; Lady; Junior; Sub-Junior; Rookie).

In order to be eligible for selection to an MSA State Team, the following criteria apply:

All-State Team: Individuals must have shot at least 1,000 12 gauge targets; 800 20 gauge targets; 800 28

gauge targets; 800 .410 targets; and 500 Doubles targets during the previous target year.

All-Gauge Teams: Individuals must have shot the minimum targets in at least 2 gauges or one gauge and

doubles as follows: 1,000 12 gauge targets to be eligible for the 12 Gauge team; or 800 20 gauge targets to

be eligible for the 20 Gauge team; or 800 28 gauge targets to be eligible for the 28 Gauge team; or 800 .410

targets to be eligible for the .410 team; or 500 Doubles targets to be eligible for the Doubles team during the

previous target year.

Concurrent: With the exception of Senior Veteran, Sub-Junior and Rookie, individuals must have shot

at least 1,000 12 gauge targets; 800 20 gauge targets; 800 28 gauge targets; 800 .410 targets; and 500 Doubles

targets during the previous target year. For Senior Veteran and Sub-Junior, 700 12 gauge targets, 500 20

gauge targets, 400 28 gauge targets, 400 .410 targets and 300 doubles targets are the minimums required.

For Rookie 700 12 gauge targets, 500 20 gauge targets, 500 28 gauge targets, 500 .410 targets and 300 doubles

targets are the minimums required for Rookie of the Year.

Additional requirement for all teams: If only the minimum number of required targets is shot, then all

but 200 targets in each gauge/event must be “regular targets” (i.e., not “targets only”). For each 50 or 100

targets above the required “regular targets,” “targets only” are allowed. However, no “targets only” shot after

the Michigan State Skeet Championships will be used for determining an individual’s eligibility unless they are needed

to make the minimum target requirements.

After a very successful new format, starting in 1997, that calls for no individual to appear on more than one team, the Michigan Board of Directors voted on continuation of this system to elect Michigan Teams. The 10 All-Staters will be on that team only. Then in order, according to gun averages, the five highest shooters in each of the four gauges and doubles, followed by the Concurrent H.O.A. winners. To qualify for the “All-State Team,” members had to shoot the National “Standards” of 1,200-12 gauge, and 1,000 each of 20, 28, .410 and 500 doubles. They will be listed on the plaque in our Hall of Fame at the Detroit Gun Club, will receive belt buckles and certificates and will receive the right to wear our *Josten made “All-State” ring. The team in order of averages is listed below: (Please note: Due to the economy the “standards” were reduced both Nationally and in Michigan until further notice. 12 Gauge: 1,000; 20, 28 & .410: 800; and Doubles: 500).

Congratulations to Michigan’s 10,000 + in registered targets in

2008. The year 2008 found us with only (1) shooter who made the “10,000 registered targets” club. He will receive the beauti-ful 10,000 target pin award from the N.S.S.A. Headquarters with his name engraved on it. This year marks the eighth year for the Lou Raden Memorial High Target Award and it goes once again to Tom Pavlack.

As it says on the trophy in Lou’s own words, “These shoot-

Tom Pavlack Makes It “Eight In A Row”

Lou Raden High Volume Target Award

ers pay little heed to weather conditions and here in Michigan we taste every possible weather condition known – when it’s time to shoot – they do it!!

For all of his hard work, Tom will be the recipient of his eighth in a row, “Lou Raden Memorial High Volume Target Award.” Tom will receive this honor at the State Shoot Saturday night ceremonies in August.

Congratulations to Tom, the only Michigan shooter who shot over 10,000.
