SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 2005 SCTP
TRAP TEAMS:
Dundee Sportsman’s Club SCTP Team Trap Shoot
Michigan State SCTP
Senior Novice Division Championship.
The youth shooting team from the Dundee
Sportsman’s Club earned a 1st Place championship this
year at the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) State
Championships held July 9th at Mason, Michigan. The
team includes Captain: James Jones of Livonia, Matthew Nartker,
Levi Siegel of Dundee, and
Andrew Grow of Monroe, Travis Castle of Petersburg and reservist, Kyle
Stefko from Monroe. The boys are coached by the Dundee Sportsman’s Club
president,
Ted Norris.
The Scholastic Clay
Target Program's (SCTP) was developed
by the National Shooting Sports
Foundation (NSSF) and offers young men and women in grades 12 and under
the opportunity to compete as a team in trap, skeet and sporting clays
for state and national championships as well as college scholarship
money. It's all designed to instill in participants safe firearms
handling, commitment, responsibility, leadership and teamwork. Nearly 40
states and 6,000 youths take part in SCTP. The program has seen
phenomenal growth in 2005. Nationally, in 2004, trapshooting, the
program had more than 5,500 participants and hoping for over 6,000 in
2005.
This years’ state shoot
was well represented with 44 teams from around the state. The Dundee
team scored 903 out of a possible 1,000 in the Senior Novice Division
which earned them their State Championship. Winning this championship,
they received an invitation to the Nationals in Vandalia, Ohio on August
9,2005.
Many of our
senior members and trap shooters have worked with the boys and
supported them and the program since it began at DSC three years
ago. Many of the boys have been shooting trap for years, some
their whole life. A few have only been shooting for a short
time. The support and help from our senior shooters has assisted
these short-timers in becoming the trap shooters they are
today. "They shot very well at Mason, they had a great time and
that’s all that matters. I am very proud of each and everyone
one of them" said Coach Norris.
Cabela’s Outfitters is
working with many youth programs around the country and has been a great
supporter of the SCTP here in Dundee. On August 7th each of
the team members were honored at a presentation by Cabela’s for a job
well done. Each young man received a sports bag with a shooting vest
embroidered with the Dundee Sportsman’s Club logo with their first name,
a ball cap and a pair of shooting glasses.
54 senior novice teams from around the U.S. made to the National shoot
in Vandalia, Ohio on August 9th. It was 95 scorching
degrees
outside with no cloud cover in sight. Everyone was very hot, very
excited and optimistic, hoping that they all would do
well despite the
heat. The DSC team was shooting their first 100 birds in seventh
position on house 6 which finally came about at 10:30am that morning.
The boys shot and did very well despite the heat but we found out later
that they finished in 12th position at mid point of the
competition. They again got to shoot their final 100 birds at 2:00pm
that afternoon which completed their day with the very same score that
they finished with at the state championship in Mason. Their score for
the day was 903 out of 1000 birds. This was good enough to place them
in a finished position of 18th out of 54 teams from around
the country. The Dundee Sportsman’s Club members are very proud of our
young men and what they accomplished this year
and are looking forward
in working with everyone again next year.
Ted Norris.
