UPSA Sporting Clays Shoot    

Saturday, May 17^th the Upper Peninsula Sportsmen’s Alliance held a sporting clays shoot at the Sagola Township Sportsmen’s Club with some windy conditions, which made some of the targets a little more difficult than usual. 50 targets over a 10 station course saw 45 shooters test their ability. We had strong representation from many of the clubs as well as much needed donated prizes. The staff at STSC did an excellent job setting targets and all the trap machines worked flawlessly. Each registered shooter received a UPSA decal that can help the UPSA cause. Members can buy decals for $2.00/apiece and they will be available at the next UPSA meeting at STSC, on July 26 and representatives attending the meeting are encouraged to buy quantities for members of their indivdual clubs. We had approximately 45 prizes to give away with the top prize being a 12 gauge,Harrington/Richardson automatic shotgun that my daughter Alix won in the random drawing breaking 17/50 targets which goes to show that breaking more targets helps your odds, however its still the luck of the draw. Birdhouses, lots of knives, gun cleaning kits, coolers, canvas chairs, gun cases, shotgun shells, rifle scope,free rounds of sporting clays, free memberships, pheasnt hunt for 2, fishing rod and reel are just some of the prizes that were given away. We netted out approximately $1150.00 and I would like to thank all the members and non-members that participated and all the help that enabled this event to be successful. If you feel that this event should be held again next year, then we should consider a date and select a chairman for the event. 

Thank you

Paul Polanski 

Secretary UPSA
