What’s Happening In Your Club!
Hi Everyone! Please share this with your shotty mates!
UPDATE ON COVID-19 VIRUS AND THE CLUB
It is with a heavy heart that we have to cancel all advertised shoots till further notice.
In the light of recent government directives limiting non essential activity and movement the committee has decided to close the range effective immediately.
The extent of this crisis is such that we all need to act in the common good. We will reopen the range at the earliest opportunity. We will keep members informed of all developments.
Please also be aware that your membership to Australian Sporting Clays Sydney may be linked to the “Genuine Reasons” to have your category firearms listed with Firearms NSW. So please renew your membership when it is due to stay compliant.
The committee looks forward to when we can reopen the range and hope you will stand by your club in this uncertain times. We will endeavour to keep you up to date with any changes to firearms legislation, especially regarding the yearly required shoots.

WHATS HAPPENING IN NOVEMBER
SUNDAY NOVEMBER 19
BRING A FRIEND DAY
Do you remember the first time you fired a shotgun, do you remember the noise and the jolt your shoulder took. The feeling you had when your first clay was broken?
If you are like me, you were invited by a friend to come down to a range and have a shot, to try out this sport. On November 19, you will have the opportunity to repay that favour and bring a friend or family to have a go at Field and Game.
There is no competition on this day, it has been put down as a PRACTICE DAY so our Range Setters will be creating a mix of easier targets and the normal targets for that day.
If your friend is licenced, they are welcome and if unlicenced, then they will complete and sign a P650 form to be able to shoot under your supervision.
There will be some members on the day that will help with the safety talk.
Your club is growing stronger every month but we still need new blood to be able to continue into the future. I have been told that Field and Game Discipline is the fastest growing clay target sport now especially with women but we also need more Juniors, as they will be our future.
So, ask your shotty mates to come and if you know of someone that may enjoy this sport, please bring them on the day, they will have a great time.
LAST WEEKEND WE HELD THE LAST BIG BIRD FOR 2017, IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST YET WITH BRILLIANT TARGETS. AT THE PRESENTATION MANY MEMBERS ASKED US TO NOT TO CHANGE THE COURSE AND LEAVE IT FOR THE NEXT PRACTICE DAY.
SO, IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE UNFORTUNATE FEW THAT MISSED OUT ON SHOOTING THE BIG BIRD, THE TWO LAYOUTS WILL BE UNCHANGED AND YOU CAN TRY THEM OUT, OR IF YOU SHOT THE BIG BIRD AND WOULD LIKE TO PRACTICE THE TOUGH ONES, THIS IS A PERFECT TIME TO TRY AGAIN.
SO, NOVEMBER, WE HAVE THREE PRACTICE DAYS, FIRST TWO SATURDAYS AND THIRD SUNDAY. THE DATES ARE – 4TH, 11TH AND SUNDAY 19TH.
THIS IS ALSO A GREAT TIME TO INVITE YOUR MATES AND HAVE THEM TRY THIS AMAZING SPORT.
HUGE MONTH AHEAD IN OCTOBER 2017!!
