Williams County Ohio Zone shoot May 16-17 update

We just picked up 2 new Ruger 10/22 50th Anniversary specials to be given away at the zone shoot- one on Saturday and one on Sunday. All shooters will be eligible. Many other changes are happening at Williams County- the big Screen and projector are in, more parking and grounds improvement, and trap field #5 is sighted and construction will begin this week. Food service upgrades are underway, and internet service has been installed. Camping is approved at the Williams County Fairgrounds.

Will keep you posted, and get some pictures on here of new trap #5.

Can someone post the shoot program here for the zone shoot for Friday and Saturday ?

 

Its not out yet, but I bet you Sat is 200 singles, and Sun 50 pair and 100 caps. Targets will be $28/100.

 

Thanks.

 

The program is at the printers. Will be in the mail soon. Same program as has been for many years. 200 singles on Saturday, doubles and caps on sunday.

 

Floor was poured today for Trap 5 at Williams County.

 

Thanks to Steve and Travis Snyder, they are doing the construction.

 

Drainage for the field

 

View from 27 yard line, post 3.

 

New path through the cleared woods to get from trap 5 back to clubhouse.

 

Great to see gun clubs expanding!

 

Thanks for the update and photos. Nice to see that Steve and Travis are doing the construction. Great guys and both of them are shooters so you know they will do whatever it takes to make sure the new field is perfect. This club just keeps getting better. Anyone remember the old clubhouse (the one that burnt down)? My oh my, how far they have come since then!!!!!

 

Ohio Zone Shoot program- starts each day at 9 am at Williams County

 

Walls poured yesterday on trap 5. Some drier weather would be nice!

 

Looking Great, dont sound like the weather is going to help you out .Zimmie

Friday practice is registered birds ?

 

No- Friday is open practice, and there will also be a non-registered 100 bird event that is the flyer in post #16 above.

 

Still a lot of work to do, but making headway. Would be great to catch a week without rain.

Joe,

Great pictures! Very interesting to watch your new field come together in such a short amount of time.

Thanks for sharing and best of luck throwing MANY targets from the fruits of your labor!

 

It is simply amazing that your crew was able to get this field built given the crappy weather we have had! Congrats to everyone that helped make this happen in time for the NW Ohio Zone shoot. Having 5 fields will help this club continue to grow their already nice attendance numbers. This club is blessed with a group of "can do" like minded folks without personal agendas. They all just want to help the club succeed, and boy are they doing that!

Can't wait to shoot on the new field!

It's been fun with lots of help! Still have a lot to get done, power into the trap is next, then a connecting sidewalk so handicapped shooters can easily get to trap 5, the return path through the woods, major kitchen renovation, lots of additional parking, re-painting yardage markers, a big screen projector for scores, new software, and a few other projects. It's fun to work with a group of shooters that really care about the facility and want to share it with other shooters.

 

Can`t wait to get there and see it. Great Job !!!
