Congratulations to all shooters who participated in the 2026 Winter League. It was a great season and every participant is to be congratulated!! See you all again next year.
The ATA Spring Shoot that was held on Sunday, April 26th was well attended with nearly 80 shooters. The weather was threatening for a little while, but it was mostly cooperative! 672 rounds of singles, handicap and doubles were thrown in just one day!
We look forward to the next sanctioned ATA shoot, July 25 and 26th. Watch for more details to come!
Hayden Longshot medal winners (and coaches Rhonda Harvitt and Michelle Thurman) from the Idaho Youth State Championships held May 14-16th
This event was crazy!! We had 150 youth shooters from all over the state of Idaho. The youth shot 100 targets at Landt Farms Sporting Clays and 75 skeet targets and 100 trap targets at our Club. The weather was not our friend but everyone forged on bravely and made the best of the wind and rain and cold. This event took many man hours from Roger, our dedicated volunteers, the volunteers on a state level that coordinated the event and all the coaches and parents. Thank you to everyone. Its wonderful to witness the dedication to the sport that these amazing youth shooters demonstrated.
