The Amateur Trap Association describes trap shooting as a game of movement, action and split second timing. It requires the accuracy and skill to repeatedly aim, fire and break a 4 ¼" disc which is hurled through the air at a speed of 41 mph, simulating the flight path of a bird feeing a hunter. This introductory course will consist of both classroom lecture and live fire. Students need only bring comfortable attire as all equipment and materials will be provided. The term "skeet" refers to an old Scandinavian word meaning "to shoot." It stands for a competitive target shooting sport that was invented in America in 1920 by several Massachusetts men who wanted to improve their aim before hunting season. Their system of simulating the flight pattern of live birds with the use of hand-propelled, inanimate targets began as a spirited game between hunters. Today, a modern version of that game has become an international sport in its own right ‹ for hunters and non-hunters alike. It is the fun of the game and the thrill of marksmanship that unites all skeet shooters. The International Defensive Pistol Association describes the IDPA Shoot as a sport that is simply the use of practical equipment to solve simulated real world self defense scenarios. Participants in IDPA events are required to use handguns and holsters that are truly suitable for self-defense. This introductory course will consist of both classroom lecture and live fire. Students need only bring comfortable attire as all equipment and materials will be provided. The next Intro to IDPA will be held in partnership with the Riverside Gun Club, Inc. on April 23, 2006 from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm. For details, please click here!
