    The scuttle is that you are no longer running the show. First the Zone Shoot cancellation. Now this. I hear you were not there. Please fill us in.

    A315BC2D-1C98-4A65-874F-A1C88C805ACF.jpeg Sad but true, Big Papa has resigned as President of the Newport Sportsmans Club. He has much to be proud of over his 15 years of service to the club as do the other club volunteers that are also leaving. I hope the new regime can continue to operate this club in the manner the shooters have become accustomed to. This club always looked spectacular and I had some very good times there. The photo is from the 2019 OSTA NW Zone shoot.

    Non-shooting, non-volunteer club members have made the atmosphere at Newport Sportsmans Club absolutely toxic.

    The Tuesday night calcutta in October has been a well run shoot with good shooters and good food! I have made the trip from Cincinnati to Newport many times and always had a great time. Any small trap club that has been successful in the last 15 years has obviously had a great group of people that made it happen. They should be thanked and appreciated for their efforts. We can only hope that the next group running the club will be as successful.
