5 PRESIDENT S MESSAGE Fellow Shooters: On behalf of the Michigan Trapshooting Association I would like to invite you to our 2017 shooting events. Our MTA Home Grounds in Mason features great targets, great backgrounds, and great camping. This combination makes Mason one of the finest places to shoot trap in the country. I would be remiss if I didn t thank our Board of Directors, our volunteers, our contributors, and our valued employees, as it takes all working together to make our shoots successful. These folks help us all by doing things from working with youth shooters (AIM, SCTP, and High School), coming to our work day, squadding, classifying, cashiering, scoring, refereeing at shootoffs, to setting targets, loading trap houses, working with the ATA, and creating and publishing Shoot Programs like the one you re reading now. When everything gets done, the result is excellent shoots for us all! Again this year, we have many major vendors and sponsors. They make the shoots go better as we all can find the goods and services we need right on vendor row and in the cafeteria. Please support them as they are supporting us. The MTA is an IRS approved 501(c)-3 tax exempt organization so donations to the MTA and the Hall of Fame are fully tax deductible. The Hall of Fame continues to improve under the leadership of the Hall of Fame Board and they will be adding three long time stalwarts to the Hall this year. Richard Burkett, Kirk Burl, and Dennis Howe will be inducted after the Singles Championship at the State Shoot. Please join us for the festivities. Your MTA Board of Directors continues to make changes to help improve the shoots. We ve added three shooting days, one to each team shoot and one to the Great Lakes Grand American. We ve also changed the daily programs for a few days in the shoots. We are all looking forward to a safe, fun shooting year at Mason in See you there!

Look for new museum exhibits this year. We are thrilled to announce our 2017 Hall of Fame inductees - Richard Burkett, Kirk Burl, and Dennis Howe. Please join us at our State Shoot (July 1, 2017) as we celebrate their accomplishments. Plans are being made to renovate the Hall of Fame & Museum area of the club house to preserve our collection year-round. Fund raising events to support the MTA Hall of Fame & Museum will include 50/50s, gun raffles, and a silent auction at our State shoot. Donations of items for the silent auction are appreciated. And that s not all. We have College Scholarships available! Attention Michigan High Schoolers!!! The Michigan Trapshooting Association Hall of Fame is proud to announce that, beginning in 2018, a new Scholarship is being made available to deserving High School Seniors. Applications can be found on the Michigan Trapshooting Website (Michigantrap.com) and at the MTA home grounds, or by contacting any Hall of Fame Board Member. Please submit your application by the last day (July 2, 2017) of the Michigan State Trapshooting Championships, to be considered for the inaugural Scholarship(s) in A Great Lakes Thank You to all who support the MTA Hall of Fame & Museum.

Pre-Squadding is done through the website. If you pull a squad/position and you are not going to use it, please notify the Squadding counter as soon as possible. This will allow us to fill the holes in short squads, making the tournament more enjoyable for everyone. 3. Cashiering: You will only need your A.T.A. card in order to pay for your shooting. When you pay for the first event, you will receive a receipt showing all of the squads that you ve squaded for (paid for or not), and options played (if any) for each event cashiered. CLASSIFICATION Shooters will be classified according to their known ability. To determine a shooter s known ability, the following will be considered: a. Official averages (abnormally low scores will be discarded) b. Non-registered scores including shoot-off and practice scores. c.

High scores in each class in all singles and doubles events will advance one class. Should you earn yardage in any handicap event, you must report to the classification counter to have your average card punched to the new yardage. Any shooter whose yardage or class has changed for any reason shall be considered to have been notified when the new class or yardage is posted in the scoreboard annex. Change of yardage for any shooter may be made at any time during the year including immediately before and during the shoot. 12
