The Club’s old Pat-Trap Throwers used for throwing Trap Targets have more than a million targets each and were showing their wear with increased operational and maintenance issues. The decision was made to trade them in for new throwers from Pat-Trap.
Great thanks goes to Bob Olsen for managing the acquisition and installation of these new throwers. The throwers were installed on December 21 and 22. Thanks also goes to Dan Hochleutner, Tony Anderson, Dan Gulmire, Al Sutrick and Ridge Johansen for helping in the installation. Be sure to thanks these people for the effort to make this happen.
The new trap throwers are installed in fields 2 through 5 currently. Field one will be installed before that field is reopened in the spring of the year. Field 5 now has wobble functionality like field 6. This is to support the growing interest in the Ironman League. Field 6 was not replaced because of the much lower numbers of cycles that machine has been through than the others.
Operational these throwers work like the old ones, so for the end users this is a transparent change that will give you a more reliable and enjoyable shooting experience.
We will need volunteers to help in the Hangover Shoot. Please consider taking some timeout to help the club.

We would like to thank all the volunteers that helped with this event. The event was a huge success because of all your support. We got a great deal of work done with a great group of hard working volunteers.
This Saturday, September 7th, is the club clean up day. The day will start at 8:00 and go until the work is complete. Work will involved getting equipment ready for winter, cleaning the club house, yard work, cleaning the trap and skeet fields, as well as many other tasks. The more help we can get the quicker the work will be completed, so please come even if you can only help for an hour. Lunch and all needed tools will be supplied for the event and a list of the needed work will be available to let you choose what fits your skills. Club will be open for shooting after the work is complete. For more information contact Dave Holub 920-851-8625

Ridge Johansen, Barb Ernst Muehlethaler, and Matt Ernst recently met and provided basic wing-shooting training to women from a local Green Bay Chapter of “Armed Women of America.”
Barb is also a member of AWA 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 Matt & Ridge for being instrumental in this effort!
They met with AWA on July 29 and plan to meet again in August.
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 and skeet fields.
They did very well and everyone had a safe, enjoyable evening!
For those of you who are not familiar with AWA, here is some information about them:
AWA’s MISSION
Armed Women of America (AWA) 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.
