Notice Target Year Date Changes

The 2008 year ends October 31, 2008.  The 2009 target year is from November 1, 2008 to August 31, 2009.  Then, we get back to the September 1st to August 31st target year. 

These Target Year Date Changes are in keeping with the ATA Target Year. For Illinois resident trap shooters, the ISTA membership stickers will run with the ATA Target year. Therefore at Brittany Shooting Park's Silver Dollar Shoot and the Northern Zone Shoot at St. Charles 2008 ISTA Membership Stickers will be valid.

Specific to the GRAND - targets shoot after the Grand count towards the next Grand.

For the 2009 Illinois State Shoot ONLY - target requirements will be current and previous year.

ATA Policy Change—Important for Illinois Registered Target Throwing Clubs

The following is a policy change from ATA regarding Registered Shoots:

"ATA will no longer accept scores from registered shoots without the prior approval of the State/Provincial Secretaries. Those clubs that desire to throw registered targets will be required to seek that approval through their respective Secretary prior to throwing the targets. Approval faxed or through other electronic means is acceptable if it is received (at the ATA office) before the registered shoot occurs. State/Provincial Secretaries may fax or e-mail notification if the request from the club arrives after normal business hours."
