Welcome Shooters
The California State Trapshooting Association board, directors, and
I cordially invite you to our 2015 State Championships hosted by
the Coon Creek Trap & Skeet. I enjoy the camaraderie we have
with our new and experienced sub junior up through elder veteran
shooters and their families. We know you are what make this sport
possible and the backbone of each and every shoot.
This year we are honoring Walter Coulson
for his tireless support. He was always
ready to help where ever it was needed,
like selling hats and dumpster dancing and
let’s not forget the White Harlem Parties.
Without people like Walt, who continue to
make trapshooting the sport it is, we might
all be sitting in our living rooms alone
instead of enjoying each other’s company on the trap field.
A special thank you to our event
sponsors and vendors for their
contribution at this year’s events,
your support does not go
unnoticed. I am blessed to be
associated with an untiring past
and present board and directors.
Their actions have proven they
will do whatever is necessary to
keep the CSTA running
smoothly.
Thank you!
Here’s to good scores, great times, and making lasting memories,
Mike Mayo
President CSTA

CALIFORNIA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
RULES AND INFORMATION
This is an ‘Invitational Tournament’. P.I.T.A. rules will govern this shoot
and all targets will be registered with that organization. It is the shooter’s
responsibility to check his/her scores on the score sheet and correct any
errors before leaving the trap, as well as to see that his/her score is
posted correctly on the scoreboard. Within 30 minutes of the close of
event, all scores posted at that time and all options played, become final.
Any shooter, upon entering any event in this shoot, agrees to abide by all
P.I.T.A. and C.S.T.A. rules and regulations.
The C.S.T.A. retains the right to refuse or refund any entry that, in
their judgment, would interfere with the harmony of the shoot and to
change any or all parts of the program at any time.
SIGN-UPS and HANDICAPPING: The office and handicapping table will
be open for various hours Wednesday May 20 through Monday, May 25,
2015 (see hours detail on page 1). Be sure your scores and averages are
completed prior to handicapping. It is shooters responsibility.
A shooter’s first Singles CLASSIFICATION (starts on Friday) establishes
High Resident and CA Team class for those trophies regardless of being
advanced for winning previous event.
Class winners (and ties) for Singles and Doubles events shall be advanced to the next higher class for the remaining Singles or Doubles
events, excluding CA SERIES Day, events 1 and 3.
PAYOFFS FOR ALL STATE SHOOT EVENTS WILL BE BY CHECK,
MAILED WITHIN SIX WEEKS FOLLOWING THE FINAL EVENT, by the
CSTA Secretary.
All added money will be divided, not shot off. One place, one money.
Events 7 & 9 are a combined 200 target event. Added money is awarded
based on the combined score of the two events.
AN ERROR AT THE HANDICAP TABLE does not relieve a shooter of the
responsibility for correct classification and yardage assignment. It is the
shooter’s responsibility to show both his P. I. T. A. and A.T.A. score card
to the handicap committee so that the correct yardage and classification
can be assigned. Failure to comply with this rule may result in forfeiture of
all money and trophies.
Rule Page 2 of 4

TARGETS MUST BE AUTHORIZED AND CHECKED BY A MEMBER OF THE
C.S.T.A. TARGET SETTING COMMITTEE.
It is the SHOOTER’S RESPONSIBILITY to be on the line within three (3) minutes
after the squad is called or the squad shall proceed without the shooter. A
shooter missing his/her squad may be assessed a re-entry fee of $10.00 at the
discretion of the Rules and Grievance Committee. If an entire squad misses its
turn, they may be assessed $10.00 per person and must reschedule on the same
exact fields where they missed their assignment.

Series Champion Awards
Presented by the C.S.T.A., the ‘California Series’ tournament in 2015 will award
Series Champion buckles to winners of four yardage groups
(21-22, 23-24, 25-26, 27) and for seven special categories: 19-20, Lady, Elder,
Senior Veteran, Veteran, Junior and Sub-Junior.
California Series - QUALIFYING and ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all members of the P.I.T.A. from any State or Province.
Membership is the shooter’s responsibility. No scores will be counted unless
P.I.T.A. membership is current.
Only ‘California Series’ shoot scores will be counted. Note that not all California
P.I.T.A. shoots are certified as ‘California Series’ shoot events. Clubs hosting
‘California Series’ events will advertise as such.
Your ‘Yardage’ and ‘Special Category’ eligibility at your first Series Shoot event
will remain the same for the entire 2014 series Tournament. Changes like
aging and yardage advancements do not change your entry status. For
Example: Should you begin the Series Tournament as a ‘Junior’ or as a ‘21-22’
yard shooter, you will compete in the same category for the whole tournament,
even if during that time you become older than the ‘Junior’ age range or get
punched to a longer yardage. However, if your yardage changes you must
then shoot from the longer/promoted yardage or from an applied/granted
reduced yardage. Regardless of a change, all certified scores are still applied
based upon your initial qualification status.
To become eligible to win one of the four yardage groups (21-22, 23- 24, 25-26,
27) , a shooter must shoot at least 500 16-yard singles, 500 handicap and 500
doubles (250 pair, in 50 pair events).
To become eligible to win any of the ‘Special Category’ events (yardage 19-20,
Lady, Elder, Senior Veteran, Veteran, Junior and Sub-Junior), a shooter must
shoot at least 500 16-yard singles and 500 handicap. Note regarding years of
age: A Veteran has attained their 65th birthday, a Senior Veteran has attained
their 70th birthday and an Elder has attained their 75th birthday. A Sub-Junior
is a person who has not attained their 15th birthday. A junior is a person who
has not attained their 18th birthday.
You may win only one category award. Example: If you score as High Junior and
High 21-22 yardage, you will be awarded the ‘21-22 yard’ Award, only.

HISTORY AND PAST PRESIDENTS OF THE
CALIFORNIA STATE TRAPSHOOTING ASSOCIATION
California Trapshooting Association was originally founded in 1915 by Col. O. N. Ford. The
Association conducted shoots during this period of time. However, the first official written
document dated June 20, 1920, is from Col. O. N. Ford concerning perpetual purses. He was
apparently the ex-officio President, Secretary and Treasurer until the association was officially
organized on July 27, 1935, and C. W.. Wood was elected President and O. N. Ford was elected
Secretary.
In 1972, The California State Trapshooting Association officially filed for incorporation as a notfor-profit corporation.
