    We were planning to shoot, had a kid on the squad back out and is throwing a monkey wrench in the plan. My understanding is they require 3.

    Don't think they require 3 unless that's something they've changed recently. I know we shot with a couple of short squads last year....

    Yesterday was another great event by the SCYSF and Rocky Creek!
    Glad the weather held off for everyone...

    My two boys shot from 5th grade till they graduated. I coached. I took the NSCA level 1 and 2 course. It’s a great program but I haven’t kept up with it since my youngest graduated.

    That's a crazy number of shooters to get through in one day. Even with 3 courses.

    Speaking of a complete loss of cabin pressure. I lose all enthusiasm when this happens.

    Also, I’d jump in with both feet on this youth thing, but I’m not paying to give something I would otherwise get paid to do.

    I would like to find out some more information. My son just turned 12 and has a group that likes to shoot and bust clays. Can you just create a team squad? What make/model shotgun are the youths using at these events/level? Gauge? Is this stuff like travel baseball?

    He goes to public school in Lexington so I would imagine there's no chance of them starting any school type teams.

    My 2 shot the varsity course (separate squads) at 2:00. My son is a senior and we've been involved in shooting since he was 8th grade. But, this is our first year with SCYSF. I really regret not getting in earlier. They are well run and they throw good birds. Also, they shoot a lot of different courses that we normally wouldn't go to. It was crowded yesterday but, they managed it well in my opinion.

    I agree with Cooney on SCYSF. Very well run shoots. My oldest shot with his boy yesterday on a senior varsity squad and they finished 2nd as a team.

    We’re having a good time with it. Best thing about it is that all their events are Sporting Clays so I’m not tempted to stab myself in the eye with a sharp stick like I am when they’re shooting trap or skeet.

    Good seeing you yesterday Scott

    Heath, you’ve got a lot of options as far as club teams where you’re located. Call me one day this week and I’ll get you some info.

    I agree with you guys - the shoot yesterday, like the others I have been to, was very well run. I assume the trappers and the folks that helped with parking are volunteers? All are professional and pleasant, as are the competitors, parents, and coaches I have dealt with.

    How bad was that trailer parking lot by late afternoon yesterday?
