2021 SCTP National Team Championship Recap
What a tremendous week, 10 days of fun, fellowship and firearms!  Nine Mason-Dixon team members and their families traveled to Marengo, Ohio and the Cardinal Shooting Center for the 2021 SCTP Nationals Team Championship. This was Mason-Dixon’s 12th year attending the SCTP Nationals and it proved to be one of our best. Halley Donati won an individual Silver in Ladies Collegiate American Skeet. Our Collegiate American Trap squad of Noah Temple, Gianna Patti, Sofia Bennett, Ben Knepper, and Chase Watkins took home 3rd place beating out Jacksonville University via a tie breaker!

2022 Practice and Competition Schedule
The majority of Mason-Dixon’s 2022 Trap schedule has been posted on the website (masondixonclaybusters.com). Some dates and locations are TBD however it should provide a solid start for your 2022 planning. Schedules for additional disciplines, if available, will be added later this year.

2022 SCTP National Trap, Skeet and Sporting Clays Team Championships
It’s never too early to start planning for the 2022 SCTP Nationals!!!! July 9-16, 2022 @ Cardinal Center, Marengo OH. If you are trying to schedule based on discipline, Trap typically runs the last two days (July 15-16). Skeet and Sporting Clays normally runs midweek, either Monday-Tuesday (July 11-12) or Wednesday-Thursday (July 13-14). The International disciplines run at the beginning of the week (July 9-10). Competitions are part of the learning process so we encourage all of our athletes to attend all of our competitions.

Spring Committees
Keeping to the theme that it’s never too early. We are looking for volunteers to head and participate on various organizational committees. There is a lot of planning that goes into running a program like ours. Mason-Dixon runs like a co-op and if everyone pitches in many hands will make light work. Below is a list of committees we need to get going for next fall. We are asking each and every athlete to have at least one adult representative, on a least one committee. Please reply to admin@masondixonclaybusters.com for additional details or to sign up.

  • Coaches Committee (7-10 required)
    • Coaches to help instruct athletes. Must be registered volunteers.
  • Photo Committee (2-3 required)
    • Group that takes photos of team events and shares them within the group
  • Travel Committee (5-7 required)
    • Group that will plan away trips…hotels, food, drinks, activities, etc.
  • Trap Practice Food Committee (5-7 required)
    • Group that prepares light food at Trap practices
  • Fundraising/Boosters (2-3 required)
    • Group that will go out and petition for donations.
  • Pullers and Scores (5-7 required)
    • Group that scores (coaches are not to score)
  • Trap House Helpers (2-3 required)
    • Adult volunteers that keep the trap houses full
  • Range Safety Officers (2-3 required)
    • Group that maintains safety on the range
  • End of night range cleanup committee (2-3 required)
    • Ensure that at the end of the night the range is left better then we found it
  • Statistics committee (2-3 required)
    • Responsible for recording practice and competition scores and ensuring every practice target is counted

Sponsors and Donations
As I’m sure you can understand, it takes a lot of resources to run a quality youth program like ours so Mason-Dixon is continually looking for additional partners and sponsors to help keep the costs down for our athletes and parents. The registration fees our athletes pay cover only a fraction of the true cost associated with participating in our program. Without the help we receive from our supporters many of the athletes in our program couldn’t afford to participate in the Shooting Sports.

That’s why I need your help! Over the years I have just about exhausted my list of potential sponsors. I’m hoping that some of you may be willing to help find new sponsors for the team.

While businesses that sell shooting supplies are a perfect fit, don’t limit yourself to those. A local business whose owner supports the shooting sports and/or youth activities might be an ideal candidate. The person who owns an auto parts store or hair salon might be an avid shooter or 2nd Amendment supporter who would be proud to be associated with a youth shooting team.

Every dollar we raise goes right back to the team and since we are a 501c3, donations to the team can be tax deductible.

Help me help our athletes! Contact me to at admin@masondixonclaybusters.com get started. I have included a link to our Donation Request Letter that you can use to help you approach potential supporters. If everyone chips in and finds a sponsor or two it would make a huge difference in the ability of our program to meet the needs of our athletes.

Mason-Dixon is Back!!!!!

Beginning in September, and after a two-year sabbatical, the Mason-Dixon Clay Busters will be making its return to a full time youth program!!!

We will have a few changes to the organizational structure of the program; However, you can expect the same high-quality youth-first values as in the past.

We want to give a huge thanks to Lia Arnold and the Susquehanna Dusters for stepping up and creating a program to keep the athletes in the area shooting. The Dusters have decided to disband their program at the end of this season and encourage their athletes and coaches to join Mason-Dixon this fall. The Dusters would like everyone to know that they will continue to provide their program to their athletes through the end of this season.

Mason-Dixon is excited to be back and you can look forward to hearing more from us in the coming weeks!!!!

Need your input, planning for next year!

In addition to the team’s normal Tuesday trap practices and local/state/national competitions, we are looking to take a small group of trap shooters and form a more competitive group. This would be Mason-Dixon’s top squad(s) at states and nationals. If selected, competitive trap team members would need to commit to attending one additional practice per week (day and location TBD) and attending a few additional competitions (TBD) during the year. There would be an additional charge to be on the competitive trap team; however, we will do our best to keep this cost as low as possible.

Please visit the link below to provide your feedback, if you have any questions please ask. We want everyone to be able to provide feedback.

2018 SCTP/SASP National Championship Recap

What a tremendous week, eight days of fun, fellowship and firearms!  Twenty-seven team members and their families traveled to Marengo, Ohio and the Cardinal Shooting Center for the 2018 SCTP/SASP Nationals Team Championship. This was Mason-Dixon’s 9th year attending the SCTP Nationals and it proved to be one of our best.

Check out photos and our recap!!


2019 SCTP National Trap, Skeet and Sporting Clays Team Championships

It’s never to early too start planning for the 2019 SCTP Nationals!!!! July 13-20, 2019 @ Cardinal Center, Marengo OH.


2019 SCTP Nationals Hotel Information

The hotel we used for the 2018 SCTP Nationals is not allowing me to book a block of rooms for 2019. I checked on their website and what they do have is individual rooms that you can reserve for $114   For additional information contact the Holiday Inn Express & Suites : Sunbury-Columbus Area. Located just 15 mins south, this is one of the closest hotels to the Cardinal Center.


Trap States Hotel Information

The PA SCTP & AIM Trap Championships will be held in Elysburg PA on June 8-9, 2019. I have a block of 10 rooms for the night of Friday, June 7, 2019 and a block of 15 rooms for Saturday, June 8, 2019 at the Hampton Inn in Danville PA. Rooms can be reserved for one day or for both. The Group will receive a special rate of $145.00/per Two Queen Bed rooms/per night + tax. The Group will have until May 7, 2019, or until the block is full to secure reservations, after this date the rates go up and the remaining rooms will be released back into the hotel’s general inventory. Please reply to admin@masondixonclaybusters.com for additional details or to sign up.


Sponsors and Donations

As I’m sure you can understand, it takes a lot of resources to run a quality youth program like ours so Mason-Dixon is continually looking for additional partners and sponsors to help keep the costs down for our athletes and parents. The registration fees our athletes pay cover only a fraction of the true cost associated with participating in our program. Without the help we receive from our supporters many of the athletes in our program couldn’t afford to participate in the Shooting Sports.

That’s why I need your help! Over the years I have just about exhausted my list of potential sponsors. I’m hoping that some of you may be willing to help find new sponsors for the team.

While businesses that sell shooting supplies are a perfect fit, don’t limit yourself to those. A local business whose owner supports the shooting sports and/or youth activities might be an ideal candidate. The person who owns an auto parts store or hair salon might be an avid shooter or 2nd Amendment supporter who would be proud to be associated with a youth shooting team.

Every dollar we raise goes right back to the team and since we are a 501c3, donations to the team can be tax deductible.

Help me help our athletes! Contact me to get started and for valuable information I have included a Donation Request Letter that you can use to help you approach potential supporters. If everyone chips in and finds a sponsor or two it would make a huge difference in the ability of our program to meet the needs of our athletes.

2018 SCTP/SASP National Championship Recap

As I sit here drinking my morning coffee, I can’t help wishing I was back at the Cardinal Center Campground and the SCTP National Team Championships. We had an amazing week, but sadly it all seemed to fly by way too fast. For those of you who didn’t camp with us this year you need to find a way to do it… being onsite all week was so much fun!

First let me start off by saying how proud I am of our Mason-Dixon family!!! The support and encouragement provided to our athletes was amazing. Thank you to everyone who pitched in with food and supplies. The meals worked out so nice. Thank you to all the parents and coaches for making our week at nationals run flawlessly. And a special THANK YOU to the Rooney’s for taking the spot right next to our big team tent, Alma did a fantastic job coordinating meals and communicating needs and expectations to the group. FYI… we would really appreciate someone stepping up and taking over this role at nationals next year.

To our athletes, you continue to amaze me. There was something different about nationals this year. Everyone had their head in the game and it showed. In the Team HOA we finished #1 from the state of Pennsylvania for the second straight year and 19th overall! Our Collegiate squad (Mark Beardsley, Chloe Sterner, and Sam Rooney) finished 1st in Bunker and 3rd in Skeet Doubles. Individual awards included Chloe Sterner for 3rd place Collegiate Lady in Bunker and Mark Beardsley for Collegiate HOA Top Gun. Top Gun included Trap, Skeet, Sporting Clays, Pistol, and Rifle. Mark straddled the Coach/Athlete fence this year and ended his week by winning a very nice gun and a big old belt buckle in the 2018 Coach’s Make-a-Break Championship.

As some of you already know, next year will bring changes to the program, not as significant as first thought, but we will certainly have a few. One thing everyone needs to know is that Marcia and I will do our best to provide a quality program for everyone. Our trip to SCTP Nationals will be just as fun and exciting. Everyone will have the opportunity to attend, not just the best, and we will do our best to find ways to pay registration fees and provide ammo for everyone.

2018 PA SCTP Sporting Clays Championship Recap!

Sixteen Mason-Dixon’s Sporting Clays athletes traveled to Blue Ridge Sportsman Club for the 2018 PA SCTP Sporting Clays Championship. Zip, Tammy and Blue Ridge crew knocked it out of the park!!!!

The 100 target Sporting Clays event drew 224 athletes from across the state. The course included some very difficult stations; however, our athletes were prepared and managed to do very well.

I’m so proud of this year’s sporting clays division. The way the group pulled together and encouraged each other was amazing. The effort and dedication of our athletes, coaches, and parents was commendable!!!

Below is a list of our athletes who placed on Saturday, please join me in congratulating them on their outstanding achievements!!!

1st Place Collegiate Lady – Chloe Sterner
3rd Place Intermediate/Advanced Lady – Ryanne Whiteman

2018 PA State SCTP & AIM Trap Championship Recap

Thirty-four of Mason-Dixon’s best traveled to Elysburg Pennsylvania for the PA SCTP & AIM Trap Championships.

First up was Saturday’s PA SCTP Championship. Individual winners on Saturday include Robbie Carpenter as 1st Place in the Intermediate/Entry division.

Rain dominated the day for Sunday’s PA AIM Championship. The AIM competition differs from the SCTP as its categories are based on age. Our squads shot very well in this very competitive AIM event. Our Junior Gold squad of Eric Inch, Preston Whiteman, Sarah Simmons, Sam Rooney, and Darin Wise took home second place.

Sunday’s AIM event also saw two Clay Busters win individual awards. Robbie Carpenter won first place in the Pre-Sub division while Rachel Sauers brought home High Lady in the Junior division.

I would be remiss if I didn’t recognize the efforts of our outstanding coaches. These people pour their hearts and souls into our team.  Great job everyone!!!!

We would also like to thank Lehigh Valley Chapter Safari Club International for sponsoring our state trap events! Lehigh Valley Chapter Safari Club International has been a rock solid supporter of our program over the years and we could not do this without their help.

While some of you move on to Sporting Clays this weekend, others will set their sights on the SCTP National Team Championship in July. Whatever you have on your schedule this summer I hope you carve out some time to continue practicing!

Be sure to look for updates and important information in the coming weeks.

The rain stayed away this year but a slight wind provided an additional challenge at this years’ Pennsylvania SCTP Skeet Championship.

At the end of a cool and windy day, three Mason-Dixon athletes took home awards. I’m very proud of everyone who competed Saturday, those were once again some very difficult conditions.

A special heartfelt thank you goes out to the parents and coaches who supported our athletes. Mason-Dixon is blessed with an outstanding backbone of adult support.
