2002 S.H.O.T. Show – Las Vegas, NV

For those of you planning on attending the annual S.H.O.T. Show, February 2-5, 2002 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV plan on stopping by the White Flyer Booth (#469) and say hello. We’ll have a display of all the targets including some new biodegradable ones that will really interest sporting clays shooters.

If you need information about the 2002 S.H.O.T. Show, call the NSSF at 203-840-5600 or visit their website at www.shotshow.org.

Scholastic Skeet, Trap and Sporting Clays Programs

As a result of the Scholastic Trap Programs success in 2001, both skeet and sporting have been added for 2002. Administered in trap by the NSSF and ATA, the skeet/sporting will be administered by the NSSF/NSSA/NSCA.

Under this program approved schools and organizations will be provided with shot shells and targets to get the program started at no cost. The intent here is to get young people involved in the shooting sports and find the recreational lifetime values they provide.

Throughout the year, participating teams can shoot registered targets in each of the disciplines and their seasons will culminate in a National Championship event. In 2001, the trap shooters in this program competed at the prestigious Grand American in Vandalia, Ohio before over 4,000 competitors.

Details on the 2002 championships for each of the disciplines is forthcoming and we’ll let you know the dates when they become available. In the meantime, should your school or organization wish to participate check out the NSSF website, or give us a call here at White Flyer – 800-322-7855.

Biodegradable Targets

As a reminder, White Flyer now offers both the Standard Bio and Bio Sporter biodegradable targets. The main difference between the Standard and the Sporter Bio is that the Sporter is primarily for use in sporting clays. It weighs a few more grams than the Standard Bio and is built stronger, to be thrown faster.

Biodegradable Target Colors

Although some confusion exists, the paint schemes available for both the Standard and Sporting Bios are as follows:

Standard Trap & all orange top / black bottom

Skeet Bio - orange dome / black bottom

all white top / white bottom

Bio Sporter - all orange top / orange bottom

orange dome / black bottom

all black top / black bottom

all white top / white bottom

Biodegradable Sporting Specialty Targets

Beginning in the Spring of 2002, the new White Flyer Biodegradable Midi target (90mm) will be available nationwide through your White Flyer distributor. Available in boxes of 144 targets, this bio Midi will be available in two variations: (1) All orange top/All orange bottom and (2) all black top/all black bottom.

The manufacture of the Midi signals a start of a full line of biodegradable shooting specialty targets. Keep your eyes and ears open throughout 2002 for introductions of the other biodegradables.

White Flyer Shooting Certificates

Send all information to White Flyer, 1300 Post Oak, Suite 680, Houston, Texas, 77056.

A well deserved thanks!

Our thanks to the countless number of people that volunteer their time and money to “run” shoots throughout the country. These are the folks that plan and conduct the shoots; the signup and scoreboard personnel; the food staff; the pullers, loaders, and referees and whoever else I may have left out. These are the people behind the scenes at the gun club (the manager and his or her staff) that make the shoots so much fun to shoot and attend. Too often, we shooters tend to forget about the fine jobs done by these folks. Without them, our shoots would be nothing. We salute you folks for a job well done!

Shoot Advertising Space

As we near the beginning of the new shooting year, we at White Flyer begin to budget for 2002 shoot advertising. As has been the case in previous years, White Flyer will once again purchase advertising space in gun club shoot programs that feature the use of White Flyer targets in those events.

Should your gun club or shoot wish to solicit a shoot program ad for the 2002 season, we’d recommend that you send us a written request and the options available. Once we receive this information we will forward it to headquarters.
