Trap & Skeet News

The Trap season is coming to an end soon, then on towards playoffs and tie breaks. One team called 'C team' has some special news. One of the top shooters is Justin Pabis who is retiring from the Army and also moving to Florida after trap tournaments are done. He retired as a Colonel and Craig Schomp and Gifford Perry went to his "Change of Command" at Fanueil Hall as he steps down from Commanding US Army Corps of Engineers New England District.
It was very nice to be invited, but more seeing such a grand ceremony honoring Justin’s service. He has an impressive history of accomplishments and many military awards and decorations. He will be missed by all. As another note 'Team C' is in first place with one more game to go!
REMINDER: NO HUNTING LOADS ON THE TRAP AND SKEET FIELDS
  • Only target loads 2 3/4” #7.5, 8 or 9
