MTA President

Fellow Shooters –

Welcome to the 110th Minnesota State Trapshoot. We hope you enjoy our shoot and we are thankful that you chose to attend. In 2019 the kids almost ran the table in the championship events. Jack Knaus won the doubles with a 98, and 2 rounds of shoot offs over Ben Dietz. Ben Dietz won the 16’s with a perfect 200, and 6 rounds of shoot offs over Randy Cook who took Vet. Ben Dietz also won the HAA for a second year in a row with a 396. In the handicap Jake Mader won with the lone 99. The only non-junior to win a championship was the “old kid” Eric Munson with a 1075 in the HOA. Congratulations to all of them.

Please take note of the following items for this year:At the annual Meeting on Sunday at 8:00 AM you will be required to show your paper average card in order to receive a paper ballot if one is required for election of officers. Also those in attendance inside the room will be the only ones allowed to cast a ballot.We will be having a raffle again this year to raise funds to cover the costs of re-duced price youth targets, and other youth related expenses. A little change from last year; we will raffle off a Blaser shotgun, and CZ-USA shotgun, and an ATA life membership. Tickets will be $20 each with 1500 available to sell. Let’s sell these out this year and support the youth shooting!!

Friday evening is our Awards Banquet, and live auction. This year we are inducting Jim Walkowaik into the Hall of Fame. Please plan to attend as we will be honoring our inductee, state teams, target attainments, years of state shoot attendance, All American Team members and Grand American winners. After the meal and before the program we will have our “live” auction. We are going to try and catch you this year by pulling on your pocket books before you have a chance to leave. Please bid high and often on the items. If you have an item for the “live” or “silent” auction please contact any MTA board member or Mark and Sally Stevens. Proceeds from the auctions benefit the Minnesota Youth Shooting Program and your support is greatly appreciated.Sunday’s Annual Business meeting will begin promptly at 8:00 AM. New officers and directors will be elected and any new business that needs attention will be openly addressed. Should you have something you want to discuss at the annual meeting, please submit your proposal to the MTA secretary. Plan on attending to show your support and have your voice heard. Minutes from last year’s annual meeting will be posted around the clubhouse for you to view and will not be read, just approved. Minutes are available for viewing on our website.If and when you see our event sponsors and advertisers, be sure to say “Thank You” for their continued support and dedication to the MTA and our State Shoot.

No contestant will be allowed to declare or change a special declaration after firing his/her first shot. The only exception to this rule will be to correct an ATA classification error. The following rules apply to shooters who have declared a special category. At all tour-naments where All American points will be awarded in any event, shooters may declare only one (1) category (i.e. Lady I, Lady II, Sub Junior, Junior, Junior Gold, Sub-Veteran, Veteran, or Senior Veteran).

Once teams are determined additions will not be made because targets were not recorded with the ATA.Shooters must compete at a minimum of 4 different clubs* in Minnesota (NOTE: Junior and Sub-Junior categories are exempt from this requirement).

General Requirements

MINNESOTA TRAPSHOOTING ASSOCIATION

State Team 2021 Requirements

* Your resident Minnesota Zone Shoot and the Minnesota State Shoot, regardless of location, EACH count toward your 4 required clubs. If you attend an additional ATA registered target event at that location it will also count toward your club requirements.Example: Jane attends her resident MN Zone Shoot in Alexandria and attends the MN State Shoot, also held in Alexandria. Earlier that spring she attended an ATA registered shoot put on by the club at the Alexandria Shooting Park. Jane now has fulfilled 3 of the 4 Minnesota club requirements for considera-tion of the 2021 State Team; she will have to attend an ATA registered shoot at another location to complete her 4 different club requirement.

To help maintain our low costs, the club and the MTA request that shooters not wishing to save their hulls please catch them and hold them in a bag until you are finished shoot-ing, then discard them in a trash bin.This will save the labor time required to clean up our fields.

WHAT IS THE DIAMOND BADGE AND WHY DO WE SHOOT FOR IT?

The historic Minnesota Diamond Badge has been in competition since 1885, when George Baldwin of St. Paul won it with a score of 43x50. The badge was donated by the St. Paul citizens and was competed for at the State Fair. The badge was an elaborate affair in design, with guns and oth-er sporting designs, and carried a perfect one-karat diamond in the center. It was a perpetual badge never to be in the possession of any one individ-ual.

The Minnesota Diamond Badge originally consisted of 26 targets at 16 yards and 12 pair of doubles, for a total of 50 targets. It was considered the Minnesota State Championship from 1885 through 1913 until the American Trapshooting began State Championships in 1914.

Each year Minnesota shooters relive the past by competing in a fun shoot with hopes of being honored a Diamond Badge replica. While the shoot format has changed, the competitive spirit associated with Diamond Badge lives on. Good luck today, shooters!

The Minnesota Trapshooting Association is the current custodian and it is kept locked away in a safety deposit box in St. Cloud, MN.

MINNESOTA DIAMOND BADGEOPEN TO ALL RESIDENT AND NON-RESIDENT SHOOTERS

25-16 yard target & 25-handicap target Combination event.Diamond Badge competition will be based upon first 25 targets of

Friday’s Memorial Handicap and first 25 targets of Saturday’s Championship Singles. Any ties will be determined by subsequent 25’s.

From the $3 daily fee you pay, twenty percent (20%) is returned to the state organization.

The MTA’s refund for 2019 from the ATA is $6,061.00The MTA's refund for 2020 from the ATA is $3,622.00
