Valentines Day Jackpot Trap-Shoot

Not sure what to get your significant other this Valentines Day? Here’s your chance to really impress your sweetheart. Stop on out, shoot in the jackpot, have yourself a nice hot bowl of homemade soup, and have a chance to go home with some prize money and a box of chocolates. Just imagine the look on his or her face when you come strolling in with a handful of cash and candy! In the event that you don’t hit it big, you’ll still have some fun and get to hang out with friends. Better yet, bring your better half along and spend the day together.

For those of you who are wondering, a jackpot shoot is a laid back, fun shoot with a chance to win some money back, and in this case a box of chocolates will also go to the first six people with 25 straights (one per shooter max). In the event that there are not six 25’s, we’ll go down to 24’s. Each round consists of 50 targets. The first 25 targets are shot from the 16 yard line, and the second 25 targets are shot from a further back (handicap) yardage, which is typically your 1st score plus 2.

So, for instance if you break a 23 in your first round, your second round will be shot from the 25 yard line. This assumes you are no further than 2 yards separated from the person shooting to either side of you, and no more than 3 yards from anyone else on your squad. If that is the case you will need to step back as far as necessary to make that possible. Also, if your assigned ATA handicap yardage is greater than your first score would place you, you must shoot your ATA yardage.

The scores are added together for a total out of 50. They are then compiled from highest to lowest and broken down into classes, which means you can still win in a lower class even with a less than stellar score. The more people there are, the more classes there can be and the more money goes into the pot. The cost to enter is $22, with $5 of that going into the payout. You may enter as many times as you like. Homemade soup is on the house. Shooting begins at 11:00am sharp, so if you want a chance at the chocolate, we recommend getting here early and getting on one of the first waves out.
