Trap BILL GUTMAN
All members and guests are welcome to attend. Beginners are always welcome. We will talk you through the course of fire and let you try out a couple of shots to get warmed-up. A match consists of 5 shots from each of 5 positions, by up to 5 competitors at a time. The first competitor loads one shot shell, calls "Pull" to get a clay target released and takes the one shot. This repeats in sequence for each competitor until all have shot once (one round). Rounds are repeated until all the competitors have taken 5 shots from the same shooting position. Then the competitors rotate one shooting position, and start a new round. This 5 round sequence is repeated until each competitor has fired from each of the 5 shooting positions.
The number of clay target hits is then totaled for each competitor. Our trap shoots are $1.00 for the club to participate, and then $3.00 for each match. Chairman Bill Gutman, 732-741-7364 bill.gutman@verizon.net

Bowling Pin Shoot BOB SIHLER & RANDY CARUSO
Bowling Pin shoots are exciting! Either a revolver or semi-automatic handgun may be used. Several members have shot the event with black powder pistols also. This shoot is conducted on the fourth Saturday of each month. The objective is to fire at a series of pins setup on two tables. For revolvers you get four pins per table and for semi-auto's it's five pins per table. Your firing line is 21 feet away from the tables. Time and accuracy all add up your score. Begin with the first table on the clock and clear the pins from the table. Just a knock-down doesn't count and must be fired until the pin falls off the table and if you need to reload it's all on the clock. Next comes the second table after a brief reloading break off the clock. Total both tables for your time.
High Power Rifle Shoot BOB SIHLER
Generally military style or type rifles are used and/or military caliber cartridges. (Example: An AR-15 or Mini 14 - they both fire the standard .223 round. Also the .30 caliber round can be fired from the M-1 or Springfield '03 or from a commercial rifle). All types and styles of rifles both military and commercial, foreign and domestic, bolt action or semi-auto. Each month
the course changes as to the stations of fire, but each month we fire approximately 40 to 50 rounds of ammunition. It's all up to the individual and his marksmanship. We have had many new members in the club participate even though they have not yet procured a rifle - they used a loaner from another member even though they purchased their own ammunition. We at times get the advantage from firing from the bench, then go to the prone, sitting and standing positions (individual physical handicaps are not a problem) we will accommodate everyone who wants to participate. It is also at this shoot that members can qualify for the C.M.P. (Government Civilian Marksmanship Program) in order to purchase a military rifle and/or ammunition – dozens have done it over the years. Arrangements can be made in order for you to participate as ling as you supply your own ammunition.
Police Action Shoot MATT GUIDO
If you have never fired in any type of competitive event with a handgun, now it the time to get interested. The Police Action Shoot and Steel Shoot is a very competitive way to start and learn how to handle your handgun (weapon) in a very decisive and safe way while possibly saving your life and those around you. Learn how to effectively handle yourself in a situation that may cost your life. It is a contest of marksmanship, skill and time. The Steel Shoot is a timed event firing at steel targets. You can use either a semi-auto or a revolver or a caliber 9mm or greater (such as a .38 Special, .40 Cal., .357 Mag. for example). Our shoots generally begin around 10:30 a.m. and once you try it you'll be back for more. It builds confidence in your handling of a handgun in tight situations!
