5-Stand Derby Update

It’s now been seven weeks since the club brought back the Thursday night 5-Stand Derby and despite one rainout and some damp weather, the Derby is growing. Shooting gets underway between 5:00 and 5:30 with the first flight taking the field but we shoot until everyone runs through their 50 birds.

We’ve had up to 15 shooters trying to get a perfect score but that just hasn’t happened yet. We’ve come close with Tom Ruck, Randy Lane, Ted Bauer and Curt Mauldin walking off the field with scores in the high 40s but no straights yet.

We use seven to eight traps giving shooters a wide variety of targets that change every week. After all the shots have been fired, we figure up the scores, draw for partners and high score wins. Everyone gets a chance to pair up with one of the Master Class shooters.

Depending on the number of shooters, we do have at least one payout for high score and two payouts if we have over 12 entries. Oh…cookout following the shooting… nothing fancy just dogs on the grill. BYO libation. If you have questions call me after six 636-458-8949 or email nerebrook@sbcglobal.net.
