Frequently asked questions:
Q. I punched up this month, why am I still in the old Class?
A. To ease the bookkeeping, you were assigned to the (12 gauge) Class as of the first $&B event you attended.
Q. I have the most points in Class and Concurrent, why am I number 1 in the Class only?
A. A person is allowed to win (one time) his/her Class or Concurrent — not both. This way we will guarantee 14 winners.
Q. This is the third Race, am I out of the running at this point in time?
A. Absolutely not!! Besides three more races (in Central, East and North Louisiana), you have the State Championship as a BONUS event. The State Championship is offering 900 targets.
Good Luck.

Our second $&B event at Ed’s Sporting Clays Range saw 58 shooters shoot (at) 9,400 Registered Targets and successfully break 7242 (77%). The turnout was great and the terrible cold weather gave way to sunshine (sunburn weather) and cold temperatures. Thank you Ed for the wonderful hospitality and warm chili (and cookies) on a cold day.

Congratulations to all of the point leaders as of the first $&B Race in January. Remember you earn one point for every target broken and RESHOOTS count. So come early and shoot late — BREAK LOTS of TARGETS! The prize, in his/her Class/Concurrent for the most points earned after the June 2021 $&B Race will be: the shooters choice of either $0.06 per target broken or $0.03 per target broken and a beautiful trophy buckle.
Our first $&B event at Wilderness Gun Club saw 48 shooters shoot 8,300 Registered Targets and break 5,049 (61%). It was a great turnout and it was a challenge to fight the wind. The name of the shoot was “Cool Clays” but I think “Windy Clays” would have been more appropriate. The crawfish étouffée lunch on Friday was great. Thanks Josie.

NOTE: Our first LSCA/NSSF First Shots program will be on March 7th at Ed’s. This program is designed to introduce first time clay target shooters to the fun of Sporting Clays. We will have safety briefings and then a simulated 50 target fundraiser event using NSCA rules. The students will practice shotgun safely by shooting (50 shells) from the stand, have hands on experience of scoring, terminology and NSCA rules. The student must provide a shotgun in safe condition capable of holding 2 shells and two boxes (50 shells) of ammunition. The program will be from 1PM to 3:30PM. Cost will be $25 Range fee (Payable to Ed’s). The NSSF will provide a $25 voucher to spend at Ed’s Range or Store. Preregistration is a must because we will have one assistant instructor to three students. The class size will be based on the instructor / student ratio. Call Dan Lavergne 337-962-3822 or email dan@edcnow.com to register. Confirmation of acceptance will be on February 28th.
State Championship (May 13th / May 16th) registration is open on Scorechaser.
The LSCA is conducting two fundraisers to support the State Championship (in May) and the Regional Championship that will be held in September. All proceeds will be given to Covey Rise to enhance these two events. The first is a gun raffle. $20 per square, 100 squares for a Beretta A400 — donated by Covey Rise. The LSCA is also selling Station Sponsorships for $350. Station Sponsors will have their names (signs) displayed at BOTH the State Championship and the Regional Championship. Please contact Dan Lavergne if you would like a Station Sponsor sign. (We have pre sold 11 Station Sponsors as of this date.) The LSCA will be selling Station Sponsors up to the Regional shoot, so if you want your sign at both shoots act soon. NEWS
1. Our new LSCA Website is under construction (www.lasportingclays.com) Board member Thomas Sparks has volunteered to take charge of the website. Thank you Thomas.
2. Starting is February, the LSCA will start sending out notices about sporting clays fundraisers. In our previous website we had fundraisers listed.

Something New In 2021, the LSCA will replace the Lagniappe Cup with the GREENBACKS and BUCKLE (G&B) Race. In 2021, each month a different LSCA Club has designated one Registered Shoot as a Greenbacks and Buckle Race shoot. Louisiana shooters will earn one point for each “Registered” target broken (Targets Only also counts). At the end of June 2021, the shooters with the highest number of points will receive either Greenbacks or Buckles. The shooter will have his/her choice of either $.03 a broken target and a beautiful buckle OR $.06 a broken target. Shooter’s choice. So mark the Shooting calendars and plan to attend these fun shoots.

So you will stay in that class even if you punch up during the six months. At the shoot, all 12 gauge and small gauge NSCA registered broken targets count. An individual shooter can only win one time, so we will have 14 different winners. A monthly leader board will be published in the LSCA Newsletter. The objective of this Race is to encourage members to visit Clubs throughout Louisiana and experience shooting the different courses. The fun of sporting clays is breaking targets so we encourage the shooters to shoot “NSCA Registered Targets Only” when they have completed the scheduled event. We hope that we have created a fun experience that incorporates, at the State level, the best of the NSCA Championship Tour and NSCA Rewards Program. Many thanks to the Board Members and Club Managers that collaborated in creating this program. Everyone is trying to make the LSCA better. Highlights from the November 7th Board Meeting 1. Adopted LSCA Plans and Objectives for 2021. 2. Replaced Lagniappe Cup with Greenbacks & Buckle Race. 3. Selected host Club for 2021 Louisiana Championship. 4. Selected dates for Registered shoots for 2021. Note: Final shoot dates will be published when shoot names are finalized. LSCA Clubs are reminded to pay their LSCA and NSCA dues for 2021 in order to remain in good standing. Shoot dates are contingent on maintaining good standing. We are still struggling as a State with the COVID situation. Let us remember to be kind to each other because we do not know what personal burden COVID has unleashed on our neighbors. If you have any questions, please call me. Dan Lavergne, President LSCA 337-962-3822 Stay safe. |
