Heads up for a Calcutta at Williams County, Ohio, Flyer attached



View attachment 66593

 

It's been 6-8 years since I've been to one of these...

Can anyone give me an idea of what to expect as far as attendance? Should we presquad? We'll likely have a gang coming from SW Michigan.

Also, are they shooting it the same as years ago...two traps shooting 50 per trap?

Thanks, Steve V.V.

 

Normally we will have 80 to 90 shooters. Not sure what normal is anymore.... I currently have 6 full squads of pre-squad, plus 5 individuals. We have 5 traps, one will be practice, the other 4 are program traps. Odd numbered squads will start on one bank of 2 traps, and shoot 25 target per trap. Even numbered will start on the other bank, and shoot 2 traps, 25 each. Then come in and warm up, get some good food, and once everyone has shot 50, we make the turn for the 2nd 50, and rotate to the other 2 traps you have not shot yet. Let me know if you want to pre-squad, my number is on the flyer.

Steve, they had 88 shooters last year, 81 participated in the Calcutta. Total option payout was $13,925, calcutta purse was $8275, the rest split between Lewis, Purse, and 50's.
Hope to see you there, Jeff

 

Joe, I sent you a request for pre-squad - post 3 preferred ATA yardage is 26. Thanks, Jeff Stolaruk

 

Got you covered Jeff- sent you an email. And might I say you have a dandy memory! Or a camera in your phone.....

 

Joe and Jeff,
Thanks for the replies. I like how everyone has to shoot each trap. I'll have to work on getting a pre-squad together soon. Looking forward to coming down again! Steve

 

Joe if my eyes were better I'd be up there trying to get that money.

 

Brad, if u missed a target u could always blame it on your eyes. LOL.

 

Brad you should still come shoot it. I'll look for my old Sony Walkman, and you can tune in some classic rock. Used to work, right?

 

they can be fixed at the right place. you just had laser you probably need the laser again and cataract surgery

 

Make sure this one is on your calendar. Best Calcutta in Ohio. Good turnout, great payoff and wonderful food at reasonable prices. This club is very shooter friendly and goes out of there way to make you feel welcome. Brad, they will give you a permission slip even if you do not shoot.

 

We are a few days away from one of the best shoots in Northwest Ohio. Great shoot, great club and great food at fair prices. Who's going?

 

I'll be there, first squad out due to a family commitment late in the afternoon.

 

I also have a family commitment that will not permit me to shoot, but I will be there to help with the calcutta auction. It's only 1.5 hour drive each way. LOL

 

I've got right at 60 pre-squadded now- which is a very good number for this shoot. We could be pushing 90 to 100 shooters. Just talked with Roger Brenner, he is in Ohio! Maybe he can give us a weather report. We have all new PAT traps, new voice releases, I've bought just enough propane to keep heat in the clubhouse through Saturday, and food will be available! Remember we have a liberal CAP requirement of 1000 targets going back to 2000, or minimum of 23 yards. Flyer is above, if you have questions let me know. Auction is 10:30 Dick- thanks for helping us out!

Joe

 

Let me help ya out with that weather report Joe. Look for scattered daylight during the early am hours followed by heavy bidding around lunchtime. It will be raining money by late afternoon / early evening!
