This year Bartonville Police Benevolent is again organizing a sporting clays shoot at Oak Ridge Sportsman's Club in Mackinaw IL. The proceeds of this event will be donated to the IL chapter of COPS. (Concerns Of Police Survivors). These funds will be used to help families of officers that have been killed in the line of duty. Donations to this charity are tax deductible, and you can research them at: $60.00 contribution = 100 rd course of sporting clays and 1 25 rd five stand course. Score cards are to be turned in at the conclusion of the course for tallying. It takes an average of three hours to shoot the entire course. See you there! The Sporting Clays Course Sporting clays is a competitive shotgun event where clay targets are thrown at every angle that can be imagined, including bouncing on the ground. This closely simulates hunting. The trick is to simply break the clay target with your shot. The course is set up with 10 different stations. You will enter the station, load your shotgun, and yell "pull". This will prompt a target, or a pair of targets to be thrown. The target presentation will be either a "report pair" where the first target is thrown when you yell, and the second target is thrown immediately on the report, or firing, of your shotgun, or a "true pair" where both targets are thrown and in the air at the same time. When you're finished with each station, you will unload your shotgun, leaving the action open, or the chamber exposed, and walk to the next station for the next round. Sound easy? You gotta try this! At each of the ten stations you will shoot 5 pairs for a total of 10 rounds at each station, and a total of 100 rounds for the course. We will be furnishing you with score cards to turn in, so good luck! The Five Stand Course The five stand course is probably the most addictive course there is. If you have ever shot trap, there are simularities. At the five stand coourse there are five shooting stations set up in a line. The shooter enters one of these stations, loads his gun, and waits his turn to fire. Posted on the shooting station the shooter will see a menu that tells him the order of targets that will be thrown from one of the six automatic throwers on the course. All targets will be thrown as report pair with the first target at each station being a single. Each of the automatic throwers are clearly labled with a number, 1 through 6. You can look down at your menu at any time to see which thrower your target will be coming from. You will shoot five targets at this station, unload your shotgun, and step into the next shooting station to the right, where you will have a different menu, and due to your position, a different target presentation. This all may sound complicated, but once you see it in action it's easier to understand. You will shoot 25 rounds total at this course, maybe more if you take more than one shot at a missed single target......... What to Bring 1...........Shotgun capable of firing two consecutive rounds without reloading. .410, 28Ga, 20Ga, 16Ga, and 12Ga are acceptable. Autos, Pumps, side by double barrel, and over/under double barrel's are fine. A very limited number of shotguns are available for rental from the club. 2............At least 125 rounds of ammunition for your shotgun. Shot sizes must be 7 1/2, 8, or 9. No 6 shot or bigger! 12Ga ammunition is available for purchase at the club. We reccomend bringing 150 rounds to cover extra shots taken on the five stand course. 3...........Eye and ear protection. Eye and ear protection must be worn at all times on the course. Ear plugs are available at the club. 4........A sense of humor! Because these targets tend to be extremely elusive, it's highly suggested that you don't take this sport too seriously.....After all........it's much harder to wrap a shotgun around a tree, than it is a golf club.....and there's the safety factor too............
