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. Continue reading →

At the requests from a number of shooters wanting to shoot more doubles, the Executive Committee is happy to announce the PITA Doubles Challenge (PDC) a 500-target doubles marathon; a shooter may shoot up to 500 doubles targets at a club hosting a PDC event. The PDC Finale take place at the Grand Pacific. The kick off date for the PDC is February 1, 2021. Informational material has been sent to all PITA clubs.

The PDC is not mandatory; decision to host a PDC event is a club decision. PDC events may be offered as a stand-alone event or it may be offered in conjunction with a state/province doubles league/marathon. ATA Cross-Registration may be offered as a club option, club and is responsible for submitting forms and payments due. For details on the PDC, click here.

The Executive Committee hopes you will enjoy participating in the PDC events.

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.

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.
