The Shoot was opened to the public with 100 targets shot over 16 Stations for $50. It was organized with a Shotgun Start, four shooters per squad with flight times at 9AM and Noon. The cost for this Shoot included the NSCA target fee and lunch.
A "Big tipping of my cap" to George Pelletier and his crew! For those who weren't there, you missed a truly well-run, organized Fun Shoot! The program had 8 stations with two shooting positions at each station (red and blue), making it a less strenuous trek for more "mature" shooters.
There was a nice ebb and flow to this Shoot. Stations 1, 2, and 3 were set on the Skeet Field with a variation of left to right crossers, followed on report by a screaming overhead standard target that appeared on your right and going away from you.
Changing positions from red to blue changed the presentation at each station.
Shooters enjoyed the physical layout of the course.
The fine points were:
This was an easy course to walk with wide paths for walking and carts;
Rest stations (benches) were available at almost all stations!
I had the pleasure of shooting with Steve Rice, Ken Baessler and Bill Wiesehahn.
If there had been a suggestion box I would have suggested that the Registration Process be more finely-tuned. Also a "Warm-up" area should be available. Another suggestion would be water made available to Shooters on the course.
I would like to give a special thank you to Earl Glidden and his son, Steve who not only competed, but helped deliver and fill traps on the course.
I look forward to more exciting targets from George Pellitier.
Scarborough has a very informative website. One of the best I have seen.
They not only have Sporting Clay Shooting available, but Archery, Pistol, 5-Stand, Rifle, Trap, Wobble Trap, Home Firearm Safety, and Hunter Safety.

John,
You have a great talent. It showes in your VERY well done BLOG's. Now for your shooting - too bad you diden't get punched out of "E" so I could get first place without three more scored clays then I hit! PS there were only TWO "E" class shooters.
I enjoyed your company and would like to squad again with you.
Be Well and Be Happy,
Steve
