Team

I need one, maybe two, more shooters to round out my squads for this Sunday’s, May 17, 2015,  PEN*MAR Trap Shoot. This is a 100 target Buckle Shoot with over a $1,000 of awards!!!

All Shooters 23 and under on September 1, 2014 are eligible!!!!!!!!

There will be no charge for you to shoot in this event. The team will pay for your targets and your ATA fees. If it matters, you will be shooting on a squad with Luke and Mark.

Again this is open to all former Clay Busters who are 23 and under!!!!!

CONTACT ME ASAP IF YOU ARE INTERESTED!!!!!!!

TRAP DIVISION:

This is very important so I need all Trap Division athletes, and their parents, to read and reply to this email by noon on Wednesday April 22, 2015.

As you know, we will be participating in the PA AIM Trap Championship on June 14, 2015. For reasons out of my control, the Pennsylvania State AIM Director is requiring me to provide him with FINAL SQUADS for the shoot by Friday, May 1, 2015. This makes things extremely difficult for me as I need to develop final, unchangeable squads for a shoot that’s going to happen 8 weeks from today.

Below is a list of athletes who are eligible to participate in the shoot. I need everyone on the list to double check their calendar and make sure they are fully committed to attending the shoot on June 14, 2015 in Elysburg, PA and send me email by Wednesday saying:

YES, I’m committed to attending the PA AIM Championship on June 14, 2015 or
NO, I ‘m not able to attend the PA AIM Championship on June 14, 2015

The squads that I submit next Friday cannot be changed or altered in any way. If it turns out that someone cannot make the shoot, the remaining four athletes on that squad will be disqualified from squad awards and will only be eligible for individual awards.

Thanks for your help. If you have any questions let me know.

Great seeing everyone last night!!! Just a quick follow up from last night’s meeting,

• Great news, we will have ammo to distribute at practices!!!! Marcia and I plan to pick up enough to get us through the next few weeks of practice. Hopefully our grant ammo will be in by then and it will cover us for the rest of the year. Unfortunately we won’t have any extra room so I can’t take any orders at this time.
• Remember, Athletes are responsible for bringing 2 boxes of ammo with them to practice. If you’re looking for 12 gauge ammo look for 12 Gauge 2 ¾ dram 1 oz. (#7.5 or #8) loads. If you’re one of our new shooters and you need help with your ammo or any of your required equipment call me (717-235-0743) and I’ll be glad to give you a hand.
• New shooters and parents…Don’t get overwhelmed with all the stuff on the Mason-Dixon Calendar. Most of you are only shooting American Trap so you are only looking for the events in GREEN. Here is a link to the calendar with only the trap events. If you have any questions send me an email or give me a call and I would be glad to help.
• Raffle… I forgot to talk about the raffle last night. Each athlete on the team is asked to sell a minimum of 10 tickets…if you can sell more great. As an incentive the athlete who sells the most tickets receives $100, and the athlete who sells the winning ticket will get $50!!!! Tickets were handed out last night, if you didn’t get yours or if you need more see Marcia at any practice.
• Here is a link to a map showing the location of the road closure we talked about last night that affects how you can get to the Izaak Walton range.

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 and I’m hoping that some of you may be willing to help me find some 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 can provide you to help reach 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.

Two Mason-Dixon athletes, Tori Mann and Jeremy Adkins, traveled to the Forest City Gun Club in beautiful Savannah Georgia this past weekend to compete in the ACUI’s Lower East Coast Conference Championships. Ten College and five high school teams made the trek to try and take home top honors. The competition was fierce in the high school division however Tori was able to triumph and bring home High Over All High School Female, Sporting Clays First Place Individual Female, Trap First Place Individual Female, and Skeet Third Place Individual Female honors. Congratulations Tori and Jeremy… Way to go down there and show the south how we do it up north!

In related news… Mason-Dixon Clay Busters alumni, Stephanie and Mark Beardsley played a big part in Emmanuel College Clay Target Team’s first place finish in the collegiate division at the ACUI Lower East Coast Conference Championships. Mark posted an impressive 278/300, Emmanuel’s second highest overall score, while Stephanie’s 271 placed her 5th on the top squad. In addition to making the top squad Stephanie also took home three individual third place awards for Trap, Skeet, and Sporting Clays.

It was great to see how much college shooting is growing and all the opportunities out there for our young people. Next up for us is the ACUI East Coast International Conference Championships at Fort Benning Georgia on March 6-8. If you are interested in attending one these fantastic events let me know.

Registration is open for Mason-Dixon’s new pistol division…

There is still time to for you to sign-up for our new pistol division. We would love to have a few more participants…beginners welcome! Our first practice is scheduled for this Saturday, January 24, 2015 @ 2PM. This is going to be a lot!!! Your only costs are $20 to sign-up and your ammo. Schedule is listed on the website; contact me for more information if you’re interested.

We are looking to start a division that will participate in the Scholastic Pistol Program (SPP). The SPP is the pistol division of the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF).

This will be a speed steel program. Take a look at this video on the SPP website, (http://sssfonline.org/video-spp-go-fast-stage/) it will give you a good idea of what we will be doing. Dan, Dawson, Sam and Jacob shot it for fun at Nationals this summer and they all loved it.

The SPP has 2 classes, a Rimfire Division and a Centerfire Division. I need a minimum of 4 shooters to sign up in one of the divisions in order for us to start a team.

Pros:

• All practices will be held at IWLA York Chapter #67, Dallastown PA
• It’s not going to cost a lot. $20 to sign up for the SPP, a pistol, and some ammo will pretty much be everything needed.
• For those who chose to participate in the Rimfire Division, we will be receiving a grant for 10,000 rounds of .22 ammo that we will use for practice.
• The team has about 35 boxes (50 rounds/box) of 9mm that team members can purchase for $12.50/box.
• The SPP has a deal with Ruger and Glock where shooters in the program can purchase pistols at Great Prices!!!!
• Anyone who participates in the SSP with us this year, and attends Nationals, will get to shoot the National Championship for free.

Cons:

• The team will not have any loaner pistols. Some of the coaches have firearms that they will let kids try but shooters who participate will be expected to provide their own firearms.
• As of today, there are no competitions in our area for us to participate in. The only competition the team will be participating in will be for the kids who go to Nationals.
• There are only 6 scheduled practices and a couple of them are early next year, so the weather may influence the ability for us to get them all in.
• One of the SPP practices is scheduled for an afternoon where we have a Sporting Clays practice in the morning at Blue Ridge.
• Ammo supplies have been getting better in recent weeks however .22 ammo may be difficult for us to find after we use up our grant ammo.
• Our program will only be able to take 12 participants. If we have more than 12 sign-up, priority will need to go to kids who are going to Nationals in July.

SSP Practice Dates:

• 1/24/15 @ 2:00 PM
• 2/28/15 @ 2:00 PM
• 3/28/15 @ 2:00 PM
• 5/14/15 @ 6:00 PM
• 6/27/15 @ 2:00 PM
• 7/9/15 @ 6:00 PM

If this sounds like fun and you want in… fill out the [download id=”101″] and mail it with a check made out to “Mason-Dixon Clay Busters” to 213 Pine Street, Glen Rock PA 17327.

If you would like additional information or have questions give me a call and I would be glad to provide additional details.

I’ve always said that I wouldn’t mind shelling out my hard earned money to Uncle Sam, if only I had more of a say in how the government spends my money. Well, if you make a tax-deductible donation to the Mason-Dixon Clay Busters, in effect, you ARE choosing how your tax dollars get spent.

When you make donations of money or property to qualified charitable organizations such as the Mason-Dixon Clay Busters, you may be allowed to take that donation as a deduction off your income taxes. It’s not exactly a dollar-for-dollar exchange, but if you know you’re going to owe some income taxes, it’s a great way to offset that. Personally, I’d much rather give money to the Mason-Dixon Clay Busters than to the government!

So think about it: your hard-earned money could be going to enrich the lives of young people by supporting our shooting sports program ….or your money can go to buying something stupid like $360 government hammers. It’s up to you!

We are a fully qualified 501(c)3 not for profit organization governed by a board of directors. All of our board members, coaches, and mentors are volunteers so every penny donated to our program goes directly to supporting our young people. As you finalize your year-end tax planning, please consider a tax-deductible donation to the Mason-Dixon Clay Busters.

Don’t have cash but still want to help?

Think about donating some of that stuff you have lying around? Below is our wishlist:

• Gun Safe
• O/U Shotguns
• Ammunition
• Soft Gun Cases (52”min)
• Silicone Treated Gun Socks
• Shell Catchers
• Recoil Pads (Limbsaver, KICK-EEZ, R3, XCOIL, TrapDude, etc)
• LOP Adjusters (Graco, Bump-Buster, Braun, etc)
• Chokes (Invector Plus, Rem Choke)
• Gunsmith Services
• Laptop
• DryFire System
• Copy Services
• Laminating Supplies
• Stamps
• Copy Paper

Be Safe, Have Fun, and Shoot Well

Based in South Central Pennsylvania, the Mason-Dixon Clay Busters is a Youth Clay Target Shotgun Shooting Sports Program that participates in Trap, Skeet and Sporting Clays. Organized under the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) and Amateur Trapshooting Association’s AIM program, the primary focus of all Mason-Dixon Clay Busters activities is SAFETY. The program goals are to teach the safe handling and use of firearms, provide a supportive team-based environment that emphasizes positive character traits and citizenship values and, to introduce young people to shooting sports that can be enjoyed for a lifetime.

WOW what a weekend! I’m so incredibly proud of all the Mason-Dixon Clay Busters who participated in this weekend’s ACUI’s Upper East Coast Conference Championships. Thanks to the efforts of these fine young athletes Mason-Dixon will be adding a whopping $19,500 to its MidwayUSA endowment account. #ShootLikeAChampionToday #MasonDixonClayBusters
