Michigan Trapshooting Association donation form available here.

Wonder if you can write it off as a "charitable donation".

The rest of the states better get going with their own " we broke, HELP" forms

 

The MTA is a charitable organization. It is a tax deduction.

 

Please see the bottom of paragraph 3 of Just Joe’s excellent post above. The Michigan Trapshooting Association is a 501(c)3 nonprofit so donations are tax deductible.

 

Did anyone check and see if there is any supplement support from the Feds because of the Pandemic, there is for small business and anything, everything can help ..? Might be something to look into, can't hurt and if they say no you are no worse off than you were before asking ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

Good thinking!! They got a Payroll Protection Grant and have recently received a small low interest loan from the Small Business Administration. The payroll grant wasn’t large either, as with no shooting, payroll is small.

I think Michigan will be Lucky to Shoot this summer taking into account the dumb ass Governor Michigan has. they may just have to tell her to go to hell and shoot anyway. Good Luck. If they do shoot it's a great place to shoot. I broke my first 200 straight there back in 1975. If you have never shot there, and still shoot ATA, you should go at least once.

 

Brad if I remember correctly E.G. shot there once. LOL

 

I went the gun show in Montpelier Ohio today, just a county south of Michigan. there was quite a bit of ammo for sale. None was cheap. I saw 1000 209 Winchester's for $125, 1000 small pistol primers $300. Not cheap but available.

 

I don't watch the news anymore, but friends tell me the media is reporting the Feds are providing hotel rooms at the rate of $200 to $300 daily to house immigrants flooding across the border. I'm sure the Michigan governor is amendable to bringing buses of em to Michigan. The MTA could put em up in their traphouses - 4 or 5 to a house. $1K a day per traphouse, a month or two of that should give em enough cash reserve to make it through the pandemic. Not LOL

 

How is your fund drive going? I thought I would bump this to the top for you before the Team Shoot.

 

Thanks Brad, it’s going well. We have had a surprising number of the letters returned as not deliverable.
So far over $16,000 in almost all $40 to $100 contributions.
Thanks to all who have helped!!!!!

 

How about a shoot update?

 

Thursday, for the singles, about 39 degrees driving rain. As most were too smart to shoot, about 35 shooters. For ‘caps, 41 degrees, drizzle/rain still less than 40 shivering shooters. For the 100 pair of doubles, temperature improved (?) to 42, drizzle continued. About 32 shooters.
Friday was handicap, singles, handicap clear skies but 20-40 knot winds from Northwest. For those old enough to remember, it was sort of like watching batters trying to hit Hoyt Wilhelm’s knuckle ball. 41 shot the first handicap, top score of 90, second best was 86, lots of scores in the 60’s. I don’t want to talk about the rest of the day. It didn’t get better but the winds got stronger.
Saturday, 15-20 knot winds from the South brought warmer temperatures and occasionally low targets. A bit more than 60 squads plus a concurrent SCTP event on the 3 western banks. I don’t know how many young people, but they shot for about 5 hours. Good scores in both the championship singles and doubles.
Sunday, near perfect weather( 67 and bright sun), about 95 squads for the team event. I don’t know about the championship handicap as I had to leave as my step son was hospitalized this morning with Covid.

I hope your son is dong better.

Up for a good cause.
