Let’s get the rumors out of the way first. Summer’s End Sporting Clays tournament will be held Saturday, August 14th. It will be the last shoot with Greg Ritch as the Sporting Clays Chair. Trail Glades was closed last Sunday because several of the Range Safety Officers came down with COVID. Dade county policy is to sanitize the facility before it can reopen. It is back open and operating normally. Palm Beach County Shooting Center is not yet open for Trap or Skeet.

Only three shooters attended July’s skeet shoot. Ed Ford led every event. The Trapshoot was however well attended by 13 shooters in the Singles event and 5 shot the Doubles. Dax Demena Led all shooters with a 95. Three shooters broke 93, Alex Riera, Steve Cianciulli, and Ernesto Yanhure. Alex Riera led the Doubles with a lone 91. Not much else to report. Youth program has been well attended. The park is now charging their usual $1.50 on the weekends. Nicely, the county has refreshed any yearly passcards that were active before the COVID outbreak.

Ammo is still hard to get. I heard several local venders will be getting shipments in early August. Regardless, most sellers limit the amount you can purchase. Check with Otto and Joe Fordham for ammo. You can’t predict when they get them, so call ahead a check what they have available.
