NEWSLETTER Officers President – Skip Klinger 867-4269 Vice President – Dick Wallace Treasurer – Deb Light Recording Secretary – Rod Beyerle Financial Secretary – Bruce Meyerhoffer Range Information May 2008 Archery – Ed Davies BB Gun – Frank Pulli CMP High Power – Mark Burkhead High Power Sporting Rifle – Adam Hostetler Pistol – Jeff Lutz Smallbore/Air Rifle – Erin Gestl Sporting Clays – Willie Carlisle Trap Shooting – Bruce Meyerhoffer Wobble Trap – Willie Carlisle more money. I suggest that everyone police all our ranges and I also strongly suggest that whoever is doing these things, they stop immediately. We will not tolerate this behavior and will terminate your membership when we catch you. I also need help with another project. We will stock the Quittie on May 11 at 1 PM from the nursery. Dale Waybright does an outstanding job raising the trout. However, he needs some help to keep the raceway clean and to stock. Please call me if you are interested in helping with the fish program and thank you to Dale for all his hard work to provide us with thousands of very good fish. In closing, I want to say how much I appreciate everyone. There are many dedicated and motivated members who have taken us forward. I look around on Saturday and see all the activity and marvel at the success of our efforts. Congratulations to Frank and his BB gun team as they once again captured the PA State Team Title. This is another fine example of dedicated and motivated people who have chosen to make a difference and I thank all the parents who are so deeply involved. Congratulations to the young shooters who got the job done when it counted. I want you to know that we are very proud of your efforts and also extremely proud of all our junior shooters at PSA no matter what discipline they enjoy and compete in. These young people are our hope for the future of the shooting sports and this country. Thank you to everyone for being a member of Palmyra Sportsmen and I look forward to seeing you at the club. President’s Message By Skip Klinger I think that spring has finally sprung. The grass is starting to get green and the trees are starting to bud. It seems the older I get the longer winter is. That being said the fish are swimming in the Quittie and the gobblers are starting to strut. I want to welcome all the new members and want you to know how much I look forward to meeting you at the club. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions or I can help in any way. I need some help! It seems that there are a few uninformed folks that may be causing some safety problems on the rifle range. We have made some modifications to the 25- and 50-yard area so please pay attention. There will be no shooting at anything other than paper targets, hung on the backer boards, below the orange line. I need everyone’s cooperation and assistance in policing this requirement. It is imperative that we keep all shots in the range or we could loose our rifle range and I am sure that no one wants that to happen. So please obey the rules and use some common sense. I have been informed that someone has shot holes in the new signs we installed two weeks ago at the 25-yard and 50-yard benches. Ladies and gentlemen, I ask why, and am very disappointed that someone would do that on purpose. If this reckless abandon of the rules and safety procedures does not stop immediately, we will take appropriate action. That could be installing video cameras and or hiring a person to police the rifle range when it is open. Either way this will cost all of us 1 Hunter Education By Skip Klinger Hunter Education will be July 17 and 18 from 6 PM to 9:30 PM and July 19 from 8 AM to 3 PM. Attendance is required for all three days and we will provide lunch on Saturday. Please call me at 867-4269 to pre-register as the class fills very quickly and I am limited to 40 kids. Thank you. 3-D Archery League By Todd Sheetz On July 26, 2008 Palmyra will have a 2-Man Team 3-D Money Shoot. All outdoor ranges will be closed for the 3-D team shoot. This shoot should bring shooters from across the state to our club. If the event draws 60 teams it would payback close to $4,000.00. Then after the shoot there will be a pig roast for all shooters. This shoot is made possible from a lot of dedicated club members that got together and came up with this. I personally would like to thank everyone that is involved. A big thank you goes out to all our sponsors for this shoot; they support us, please support them!!! Friends NRA Banquet By Skip Klinger th This is our 8 year and the banquet has been moved to the spring. The date is Saturday, May 10 at PSA. The door will open at 4:00 PM and dinner will be served at 6:00 PM. The cost of the ticket, which includes dinner, is $30.00. Please come join us for an evening of enjoyment and fun as we raise money to continue to improve our shooting facilities and our youth programs in PA. Please call me at 867-4269 or Kip Klinger at 272-2971 if you need tickets. Thank you.

Comments received from those who attended the class were: feel more comfortable around guns in general, and are now more knowledgeable in the safety of guns. If we have enough interest in holding another class, we will pursue it. If anyone is interested in attending, please call Rod Beyerle at 273-7554 or e-mail [email protected]. Mid-Atlantic Prone Championship Monetary or Merchandise Donations are being sought for the 2008 Mid-Atlantic Prone Championship June 12-15, 2008 Please contact Erin Gestl, 832-3385 Trap (Clay Bird) Shooting By Bruce Meyerhoffer Tuesday evening practice continues starting around 5 PM. Beginners are welcome. Palmyra sportsmen shooters tied for first place at the end of the winter league, but lost the tie breaker. The last shoot was at Palmyra and saw 50 straight scores by Les Eckert, Les Garis and Dave Forry. Congratulations to Sheldon Hostetter named to the PA Trapshooting Hall of Fame as the Trapshooter of the Year for 2008. Raffle Ticket ATA Shoots at our club will be on Sunday May 4 – Club Championship; Monday September 1; and Sunday October 5. Ladies and gentlemen: Would you please consider helping your club by selling or buying this year’s raffle ticket? I have designed a ticket with a new idea and a twist. It is always a good thing to stay ahead of the curve. If you look at the ticket, we are giving away $12,500 twice in the first 25 days of August 2008. They will be merchandise certificates for 5 local retailers (three gun shops, one clothing shop and one archery shop). The twist is that we will have two tickets at the same time. One will be for the Mid-Day three-digit daily lottery number and the other is for the 7 PM three-digit daily lottery number. I am going to have both tickets with the same number stapled together so they can be bought or sold separately or as a pair. This means that a person can buy one number (either the mid–day or 7 PM number) for $25.00 or both numbers for $50.00. Please call me if you have any questions; and I will be in touch with my usual ticket sellers as soon as possible. Contact Skip Klinger if any questions. Thank you.

Competing in his first Sectional tournament, Sawyer Spicher fired a personal high score. April was probably the busiest month with a group of juniors competing at the National Junior Olympics in Colorado Springs. Seven juniors qualified to attend the nationals including Leslie Angeli, Cody Rutter, Jed, Allison, Alyssa, Tommy, and Abby. In the women’s events, Leslie, Allison, and Alyssa fired personal bests for the competition in the smallbore events; in the air rifle event Leslie fired a 773/800 ending up 22nd in a field of 94 juniors. Alyssa captured 3rd place in the J3 category (age 14 and under) in both events. In the men’s events, Cody Rutter had a very strong performance, placing in the top 7 in the country in all 3 events, 1st in prone, 3rd in 3-position, and 7th in air rifle. Cody’s first place victory in prone was by a mere 3/10 of a point after the finals were complete. Jed Neidigh had his personal bests for the Junior Olympics with an 1153/1200 in air rifle and a 2254/2400 in 3-position ranking him 18th and 21st, respectively. In the local Friday night league, our team finished the season in second place behind Columbia Fish and Game.

Rifle Team By Erin Gestl Since the beginning of the year, the rifle team has been very active beginning with the 9th annual Palmyra Invitational in January. The 3-weekend event had its largest showing with 330 competitors competing in smallbore and air rifle events. We had collegiate teams from 6 of the top 8 collegiate programs in the country. The Palmyra junior rifle team had 3 separate teams in each event and the team of Allison Paulson, Tommy Carr, Jed Neidigh, and Abby Wert finished 3rd in air rifle and 4th in smallbore. During the months of February and March, the team competed in several 4-position smallbore matches and NRA sectionals. The first was the Open Sectionals at Harrisburg. At the second match, the Open State Championships at Alexandria, Jed Neidigh finished 2nd junior and the junior team of Jed, Tommy, Abby, and Levi Spicher top high junior team. The last match of the month was the junior sectionals at Langhorne. We had 12 juniors in attendance with several shooting their high score including Alyssa Gestl, Alex Gestl, Robert Granzow, Levi, and Abby. The team of Jed, Tommy, Allison, and Alyssa won the team event with a score of 1575/1600. In the 3-position sectional at Ontelauntee, the team of Tommy, Jed, Allison, and Abby won the local Allison Paulson at JORCs Leslie Angeli at JORCs Alyssa Gestl at JORCs ****************************************************************************************************************************************** The Palmyra BB Gun Team captured the 2008 State BB Gun Championship (Photo at right) → 6 Calendar of Events (Not inclusive – see calendar at clubhouse) May 2008 Sun Mon Tues Wed Thurs Fri Sat 1 2 3 Vo-Tech School, Bullseye Range Wobble Trap 3:30-7 SB & AR Jr. Rifle Prac. 6:30pm-9pm Vo-Tech School, Bullseye Range BB Gun 9am-11am Sporting Clays 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ATA Trap Shoot SB & AR Jr. Rifle Prac. 6:30pm-9pm Trap Shoot 5pm SB & AR Jr. Rifle Prac. 6:30pm-9pm Archery 3-D Shoot BB Gun 7pm-9pm Vo-Tech School, Bullseye Range Vo-Tech School, Bullseye Range BB Gun 9am-11am Sporting Clays-BPS Shoot CMP Highpower Comp.
