2017 GRAND PACIFIC RESULTS (CLICK HERE)!

The Executive Committee wishes to announce the BRB Voice Release Purchase Program which will provide new BRB Voice Calls to be used at the Grand Pacific.  We are offering 24-wired sets and 3-wireless sets.  The wired sets will be used on the tournament traps, and the wireless sets will be used only on the practice traps.

Wired-sets are being offered for $990 per set (shipping fee included). Wireless sets are being offered for $1630 (shipping fee included). These prices are based on the manufacturer’s 2020 price per set.  If a club were to purchase a set from the manufacturer, based on 2020 manufacturer’s price, a wired-set would be $1175 with shipping, and a wireless-set would be $1875 with shipping.

The BRB Purchase Program offers a great deal with significant savings to clubs purchasing one or more sets.

To place your order or if you have questions, please contact Mike Riggs at riggsconstinc@gmail.com.

Payment will be required to confirm order.

The results are posted for January.  They are now final.  Congratulations to all the winners!

PITA Members,

As we look forward to a new (and hopefully improved) target year, we may still be faced with residual effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The PITA EC is preparing for a continued slow-down in service from some of our regular vendors, especially those businesses located in states/provinces with strict COVID-19 mandates.

With that in mind and to better serve the PITA membership, if you envision reaching a milestone during the 2021 target year, please notify the PITA office as soon as possible so that we can work with the vendor to estimate the necessary lead time for ordering and receiving your award in a timely manner.

Your understanding and patience is appreciated.

Scores and results are posted and final.  Payout checks for the Fall Season will be mailed soon so watch your mailbox and please cash/deposit your check when you receive it.  This helps in the accounting department.  If your PITA dues are not current or you earned over $600 this year your check may be held – contact Kay at 208-312-0314 for more details.

Due to Covid-19 the 2021 HI State Shoot has been cancelled – read more here: Cancellation of 2021 HI State Shoot.

The PITA Hall of Fame committee has announced the 2021 selection for induction is Liz Harris of Boise, Idaho.  Liz over the past 30 plus years has served as an official for the Idaho PITA and an un-official representative at the PITA executive level.  As a champion shooter she has won over 40 State and PITA titles including two-time Grand Pacific Lady Champion of Champions and out of state titles in Nevada and Oregon.  Behind the line she has been active as well organizing events for non-shooters and money raising events for clubs. With her partner and husband Kent have won too many two-in-family awards to count.  Kent is very lucky to have Liz as his partner.  Liz is the first lady to achieve 100,000 targets in Idaho.

The 2021 Induction will be held at the Grand Pacific in July at the Evergreen Sportsmen’s Club.  It will also honor the 2020 inductees, Dave Wade and Leo Pike, from Canada since we did not have a 2020 Grand due to the pandemic.  Please join us in honoring these inductees.

Bob Kennedy, HOF President

12/4/20 (updated 12/7/20): The following letter from Evergreen gives details to make your RV reservation.

Camping Reservations at Evergreen Sportsmen’s Club

We heard your frustrations about our “pencil and paper” debacle for managing our camping reservations so we are responding and moving into the 21th century. Evergreen Sportsmen’s Club has engaged with Campspot to develop an online reservation procedure for our camp sites.

As of Thursday, 12/03/2020, at 4pm the Campspot site will be live and ready for you to make your reservations.  This online reservation procedure is the only way camping reservations will be processed.  You have to complete the process, from selecting dates, to choosing your camp site and making a payment in full. The office personnel at Evergreen cannot make reservations!

For those of you who believe you have a reserved camping site based on past dialogue with personnel at Evergreen, I have placed administrative holds on camp sites from the documentation I have.  You will have to make your own reservation. But first, you must contact me prior to going online to make your reservation so I can remove the administrative hold. You will need to act quickly once the administrative hold has been removed – at this point, the site becomes available to anyone. Remember – the only reservations which will be honored are those made online!

FYI: All remaining administrative holds will be removed on 12/30/2020. if you have not registered online by then, all unregistered/unreserved sites will be made available.

• How to make your online reservations:

Log in to our website:  shootevergreen.com

On the header row, you will see “Camping Reservations”.  Click on this.

• Key steps to make a successful reservation.

All reservations must be paid in full at the time reservation in made.  Refunds will be issued if the shoot is cancelled and if the border is closed Canadians will be issued refunds.

Each reservation must be completed, including payment, before a second reservation can be made.

For example, if you plan to camp for the Washington State Shoot and the Grand Pacific, those are two stand-alone events and must be reserved as such.

Select your dates of stay for the State Shoot or the Grand Pacific and proceed as directed.

As you proceed you will see a box “Referral Source”.  This box must be completed.

You will also see a box “Reason for visit”.  This too must be completed.

As you complete the steps you will also see a “Terms and Conditions” box which must be checked.

Complete your reservation.

Repeat for an additional stay.

If you have questions, please contact Joel Ball between the hours of 9 am – 7 pm.  Phone 360-790-0266 or email shootevergreen@gmail.com

Thanks,

Joel Ball

The Executive Committee is proud to announce the 2020 All Star Teams and congratulates each of you for your accomplishment. Click here to see all the team members and qualification requirements.

2020 was a difficult year to find shoots with many clubs closed and shoots cancelled but 53 of the 55 positions were filled.  Twenty five of them by 1st time All Stars.  Competition was tough with just targets dividing some.  As mentioned in the previous post many of the calculations are done manually.  If you would like to see where you placed Continue reading →
