SCTP - firing up
Opening day. Most people have some event that they associate with that phrase. It could be the first day of quail season, the first day of deer season, the first day of football, the first day of Christmas shopping........lots of things. Around our house 'opening day' means the first day of the new SCTP season.
Our club begins this year on October 1st with our orientation and sign up day. My available 'blogging time' will probably be rather thin for the first few weeks of classes, but I'll be around.
The Arizona SCTP program is sponsored by the Arizona Game and Fish Department and is open to anyone between the ages of 9 to 18......or 5th grade through 12th grade if you prefer to think of it that way. No experience is required. We provide the guns, ammo, targets, eye protection, ear protection, and instruction. The cost is $25 per year, per student.
If you or someone you know is interested in participating, there are programs available at the Red Mountain Trap and Skeet Club, the Chandler Rod and Gun Club, the White Mountain Trap and Skeet Club, the Ben Avery Clay Target Center, the Tucson Trap and Skeet Club, the Buckeye Sportsman Club (where I teach), and several others around the state the I haven't been able to find links for. If you still have trouble locating a program, contact me via email at shotguncoach AT yahoo DOT com and I will do my best to hook you up with the right people.
Any help spreading the word would be appreciated. It is absolutely imperative that we begin educating the next generation of shooters and voters now. The future of our sport and our right to keep and bear arms depends on it. Remember, our rights will not be taken away - they will be voted away.
