Elmer came back to tell you that we need to close the club on Monday August 17th to install new fencing between all the fields. This is the wrap up of the New Skeet Buildings Project. Come out to see how much all this hard work has improved your shooting facility. Come out on August 23rd to Sunday Funday to see the end product of this multi-year effort. Thanks to Darren Jacobson, Don Kelly, Dave Holub and Al Winiecki for being the driving force, that created this project, got Pittman Robertson Money to reduce the club cost on this project and insured the successful execution of the work. Thanks to Jesse Nickle and Nickle Electric for the donation of work and service to complete the electrical work on these project. Many others are also appreciated in this effort but these people represent the core team that made this improvement possible.
Thanks goes to the huge club volunteers that came out on Sunday to remove the old fence for the installation of this new fence.
Also remember that we are open on Mondays for members to open shoot after the fence install. So when your favorite Sporting Clays place is closed on Monday, use the 5-stand, like sporting clays without the exercise, to get ready for duck hunting. The 5-Stand is setup like our other fields to allow you to open and close it yourself, to supply our members access 8:00 am to dusk 7 days a week. Contact Ridge Johansen for details 920-562-4179.

Ridge Johansen, Barb Ernst Muehlethaler, and Greg Hohn recently met and provided basic wing-shooting training to women from a local Green Bay Chapter of “Wisconsin Armed Women.”
Barb is also a member of WAW and was asked to consider putting together some training for interested women, who have never had training on the difference between shotgun & handgun shooting.
Thank you Greg & Ridge for being instrumental in this effort!
They met with WAW on August 3rd.
The training covered the different types of shotguns, safety, stance, gun mount, and basic wing-shooting techniques. The women were able to apply the learning while practicing on trap field.
They did very well and everyone had a safe, enjoyable evening!
Introduction to Shotgun Sports.
The Brown County Sportsmen’s Club can offer an introduction to to the shotgun sports to your group as well. We can tailor the training to your groups needs or interest. The next event we are offering is a youth day for young trap shooters to learn the basics of Skeet and Trap. Details. Please contact Ridge Johansen if you have questions at 920-562-4179.
For those of you who are not familiar with WAW, here is some information about them:
WAW’s MISSION
Wisconsin Armed Women (WAW) exists to enable women to be their own self-protectors, creating freedom, peace of mind and confidence in themselves.
The meetings offer classroom and range time, all under the guidance of certified women instructors (and the Green Bay chapter is privileged to also be instructed by GB Law Enforcement officers) who volunteer their time.
Armed Women of America provides a safe and comfortable environment for women to gather, learn, train, and discuss issues important to women gun owners.
Brown County wants to ensure that all members have a safe and enjoyable experience using your Club. We also want to ensure that all members are able to properly operate the equipment for both their use and for those that will use the club after they are done. Please leave the club better than when you found it.
So currently we ask that you read the material and ask questions of a board member.
In the future we hope to offer Training Classes and a certification test.
Please text a board member with follow up questions. They are listed at the end of this document.
Basic Introduction – Equipment operations and safety.

Containers are located in the center of each field for the disposal of Aluminum beverage containers.
These are the grey containers with the tops with the round holes
Only aluminum cans should go in these containers.
All other waste.
All other waste should go in the orange containers at the center of each field.
This includes plastic bottles, shell boxes and spent shells.
Protocol with other club uses.
Hadicaped Parking – Club has ample parking. Handicap area is near near club house.
No Parking – The area in front of the shop and equipment garage (Warehouse 1} is a No Parking area. Leave this space open at all times for those members that volunteer their time to have access to the equipment they need to maintain and service the club.
Rules with Volunteer Work and Lawn Mowing. No shooting when volunteers are maintaining the facility down field of the range.
Rules on the Field: Be quiet when other people are shooting.
The follow is the recommendations from each of the equipment operators.
Follow their recommendations when loading and powering on the equipment and shutting down the equipment.
Understand the terminology may be different from manufacturers but the functions match.
Function
ON (Maintained)
OFF (Maintained)
RELEASED(Spring Return)
Alternate Names
ONARMED COCKED
OFFDISARMED DECOCKED/UNCOCKED
RELEASE DISARM UNCOCK
Function
Spring loaded and ready to be released
Power removed. Release function must be done before going to the off position to ensure spring tension is released.
Releases the throwing arm from the armed position and releasees a bird. Also releases spring tension.
Pat Trap (Trap House)
Know and understand the armed and disarmed position of the throwing arm.
NEVER STAND IN FRONT OF A TRAP MACHINE. THE TRAP MACHINE MUST BE TURNED OFF AND THE SPRING RELEASED BEFORE ENTERING THE TRAP HOUSE. NEVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENT WHILE THE THROW ARM IS COCKED.
NEVER ADVANCE THE THROW ARM BY HAND WHEN THE ON/OFF/RELEASE SWITCH IS IN THE ON POSITION. THIS MAY DAMAGE THE MACHINE.
The target throw arm extends 4” beyond the throw plate. Keep away from moving parts. Never stand in front of the trap machine.
When the machine is turned ON the throw arm will travel forward to the cocked position through the danger zone. When the throw arm is fired, the arm will travel through the indicated danger area zone. The throw arm can be fired by pushing the pullcord button. It can also be fired by hand; by pushing the arm forward off the brake when the machine is either On or Off.
LaPorte (Skeet Houses)
NOTE: The “uncocked” position mentioned throughout this manual refers to the position of the throwing arm. When the machine is “uncocked”, viewed from behind the machine, the throwing arm is to the left of the machine. When looking at the machine from on top behind, the “uncocked” throwing arm is visible in a 9 o’clock position. When the machine is delivered, the throwing arm is in the “safe” position.
Safety glasses must be worn by all personnel within close proximity to the trap to prevent eye injury from flying target fragments.
Always keep children and animals away from the trap machine.
All personnel required to operate the trap, or load targets into the magazine, should read this instruction manual and be trained by someone knowledgeable to the safe operation of the equipment.
Do not leave the trap cocked when not in use. Not only is this practice very hazardous, but, as the mainspring is stretched, its lifespan will be shortened.
Only one person should operate the trap at any time.
Do not operate the trap without the safety guard installed on the trap as illustrated in this manual. This safety guard defines the danger zone of the throwing arm rotation.
Do not lift or move the trap by the throwing arm, throwing plate or the safety guard. Do not lean on the safety guard or place any weight on it such as box of targets.
Safety glasses must be worn by all personnel within close proximity to the trap to prevent eye injury from flying target fragments
Always keep children and animals away from the trap machine.
Before turning on any switches, move to a safe position at the left rear of the trap and make sure that no one is within a danger zone in front of the trap. High-speed fragments from broken targets may fly outside the normal target danger zone, even backwards. (They may even rebound off traphouse sides etc.). When trap is cocked and ready for use, always leave the area by keeping to the rear of the machine.
Before approaching the trap, for any maintenance, adjustments, or for the loading of targets, be sure the trap is turned off with the “ON-OFF-UNCOCK” toggle switch on the electrical control box in the “OFF” position, and the throwing arm is in the “Decocked” 9 o’clock position.
NOTE: TO UNCOCK THE THROWING ARM AND PLACE THE TRAP IN A SAFE CONDITION, MOVE THE “ON-OFFUNCOCK” TOGGLE SWITCH, ON THE ELECTRICAL CONTROL BOX, TO THE “UNCOCK” POSITION, THEN TO THE “OFF” POSITION. THE THROWING ARM SHOULD ‘THROW” AND STOP IN THE “UNCOCKED” POSITION OUT IN FRONT OF THE TRAP. THEN DISCONNECT POWER FROM THE ELECTRICAL CONTROL BOX.
Mec Trap (5-Stand House)
CAUTION: ALWAYS OPERATE THE MACHINE FROM BEHIND, NEVER FROM THE FRONT OR THE SIDES OF THE MACHINE. KEEP HANDS AND BODY PARTS AWAY FROM THE MACHINE WHEN ARMING, RELEASING AND DISARMING.
CAUTION: ANY MEC CLAY TARGET MACHINE MUST BE IN THE DISARMED STATE WITH THE BATTERY DISCONNECTED PRIOR TO MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS, OR LOADING THE CLAY TARGETS.
Firearm Safety
The Fundamentals of Firearm Safety
The three basic general rules of safe gun handling.
Always point the muzzle in a safe direction; never point a firearm at anyone or anything you don’t want to shoot.
Keep your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot.
Keep the action open and the gun unloaded until you are ready to use it.
Additional specific rules of safe gun handling
Safety Rules Related to the Shooter and His Behavior.
Treat every firearm as if it were loaded.
Never pass a firearm to another person, or accept a firearm from another person, until the cylinder or action is open and you’ve personally checked that the weapon is completely unloaded.
Before handling any firearm, understand its operation.
Never rely on any mechanical device for safety.
Think before shooting: once you pull the trigger you can’t take back the shot you’ve just fired!
Never joke around or engage in horseplay while handling or using firearms.
Be alert at all times; never shoot if you’re tired, cold or impaired in any way. Don’t mix alcohol or drugs with shooting.
Safeguard your sight, hearing and health. Always wear eye and ear protection. Endeavor to limit your exposure to heavy metal particulates and gases, and minimize your contact with aromatic organic solvents (such as those commonly used in gun cleaning products).
If you see unsafe behavior any time when firearms are being handled or used, speak up and take action to correct the unsafe behavior at once.
Receive competent instruction from a qualified person before beginning to shoot. If questions arise later, after you’ve been shooting for a period of time, get answers to those questions from a competent authority.
Safety Rules Related to Your Target.
What’s behind your target? Always make sure that a stray shot, or a bullet which penetrates its intended target through and through, will be safely stopped.
Never shoot at a hard surface, or at water — your shot may glance off, ricochet and injure someone.
Never shoot at glass bottles, living trees, or inappropriate targets which would create a hazard for other persons or damage the environment.
Never shoot a shotgun directly upwards, or at a high angle of elevation
Safety Rules Related to Your Firearm.
Make sure your firearm is in good mechanical condition before firing it. Periodically have your firearm checked for signs of erosion, cracking, or wear by the factory, by a qualified armorer, or by a factory certified gunsmith.
Never try to fire a gun which may have a plugged or partially obstructed barrel.
Ensure that any modifications made to a firearm are made by a qualified individual, and that those modifications don’t interfere with your firearm’s safety features.
Be sure all accessories, such as straps and grips, are compatible with the firearm and won’t interfere with its safe operation.
It is your responsibility to ensure that your firearm is always either about your person and under your personal control, or positively secured from access by children or other unauthorized parties. Prevent tragedy: lock down your firearms when they aren’t in use.
When storing a firearm for a long period of time, consider storing the slide, bolt, or other critical components of the firearm separately under separate lock and key.
Avoid trying to catch a live round (while unloading a semiautomatic pistol) by cupping your hand around the ejection port while retracting the slide; doing so may result in an accidental discharge.
Safety Rules Related to Ammunition.
Be sure your gun and ammunition are compatible. Shooting incorrect ammunition in a firearm may cause it to be damaged or even make it blow up.
Relying on ammunition which doesn’t feed reliably in your particular firearm may make your firearm malfunction at a critical juncture: get experience with a particular lot of ammunition in your firearm before relying on it for defensive purposes.
Use only ammunition recommended for your firearm by its manufacturer. Never fire ammunition which exceeds industry standard pressure specifications. Over-pressure ammunition will reduce the service life of your handgun, and puts you and those around you at risk of a catastrophic firearm failure.
Use reloaded ammunition judiciously. Be aware that many firearms manufacturers specifically forbid the use of reloaded ammunition in their products, and will void their product’s warranty if you elect to use reloaded ammunition in contravention of their instructions.
Also remember that a shell which has: the wrong powder, no powder charge, or too large a powder charge; an inverted primer, mis-seated primer, the wrong type of primer or an inert primer; a mis-seated, inverted, or mis-sized bullet; a collapsed, weakened, improperly sized or mis-crimped case; incorrect overall length or any of a host of other defects may seriously jeopardize your safety, the safety of those around you, and/or the reliability of your firearm in a defensive situation.
Many shooters prepare and safely use reloaded ammunition each day, and it can be an economical way to stretch your ammunition budget, but the safety of that reloaded ammunition directly depends on the care, components, equipment, and practices used in preparing it.
Carry only one gauge of ammunition when shooting. Accidentally grabbing the wrong ammunition while shooting can result in a shooter or third party being injured, or damage or destruction of a firearm.
Store ammunition that isn’t being used under lock and key, inaccessible to unauthorized parties and children.
Dispose of unwanted ammunition safely.
Miscellaneous Safety Rules.
At a range, obey the commands of the range officers, or any individual calling `cease fire,’ at once. Read, know and follow any rules peculiar to a particular range which you may be using.
Keep your fingers and other parts of your body away from the muzzle, the rear of the slide, and the ejection area of a semiautomatic shotgun.
In the event of a misfire, keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction, remove your finger from the trigger, wait ten seconds, then eject the shell and dispose of it properly.
If you hear an unusual sound upon squeezing the trigger or feel an unusual recoil, stop shooting and investigate. You may have experienced a “squib” load (or under-powered cartridge), and it may have caused a bore obstruction. Keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction, remove your finger from the trigger, wait ten seconds, then unload the firearm and safely examine the barrel, checking carefully for any possible obstructions before reloading and resuming shooting.
Never —
Scale or descend a steep incline or hill with a loaded firearm,
Climb a tree, or climb into a hunting stand with a loaded firearm,
Prop or lean a loaded firearm against a tree or other surface which may allow it to slide, or
Transport a cased loaded firearm.
Always carry your firearms in a way which will allow you to control where the muzzle is pointing, should you stumble or fall.
Open the doors of the trap house and use the locking rods to hold the doors open.
Raise the red flag while in the trap house.
Ensure the hydraulics and throwers are turned off.
Fill the throwers.
Make sure everyone is out of the trap house.
Turn on the hydraulics and turn on the thrower. Note: During winter, the Hydraulics pump may need to be run for a while for the oil to heat up before the thrower will cycle properly.
Lower the flag after clearing the area.
Take the speaker cart out of the storage container that is under the stairs of the upper skeet station.
Place stand in the center of the trap field offset to the left of the center 16 yard position.

Target Presentation and Scoring – As Defined in NSCA Rules
Single Target
Two shots are allowed, but not required. A target will be scored dead if broken by either shot.
Pairs
Only two shots are allowed. Pairs may be presented as report, following or simultaneous (true pair)
In simultaneous pairs (true pair) the shooter has the right to shoot either of the targets first. A shooter may shoot twice at the same target. Regardless of the result, the other target will be scored as lost.
When shooting report or following pairs, the shooter will have the right to shoot twice at the same target. Regardless of the result, the other target will be scored as lost.
Scoring Pairs
Should the shooter break both targets with either the first or second shot then the result will be scored as two hits.
In the event of a no Bird on a simultaneous pair (true pair) or following pair, nothing can be established. Two good targets must be present to record the score. This will also apply for gun/ammunition malfunctions while shooting pairs.
In the event of a NO BIRD on the second target of a report pair, the first bird will be established as dead or lost and the shooter will repeat the pair to establish the result of the second target. When repeating the pair, the shooter must make a legitimate attempt at the first target.
In the event of a shooter malfunction on the first bird of a report pair, the first bird will be established as lost and the shooter will repeat the pair to establish the result of the second target. When repeating the pair the shooter must make a legitimate attempt at the first target. The first target has already been established as lost and the result of the second target will be recorded.
