Notice:


Great News!!

from the MTA Board of Directors

The Minnesota Trapshooting Association has received the ATA Target Rebate check for 2020.
It states in the ATA By-laws that a State can only receive the rebate check IF they hold their State Shoot, which we couldn’t due to the Governor’s executive order restrictions.
The ATA gave the State Associations a chance to receive the rebate IF a letter explaining the circumstances why the shoot couldn’t be held was submitted and met their criteria.
President Matt Bickell did submit the requested letter and the MTA did receive the rebate check for $6169.00.


Nice job Matt.

Drake Douglas
Annandale, MN

June 19, 1930 ~ January 6, 2021

Drake Douglas

Targets shot 39,950 Singles, 31,975 Handicap, 11,150 Doubles.

Drake served on the Board of Directors of the Central Minnesota Gun Club for many years. He was also a coach for the CMGC Youth Program.

Del-Tone is where he started shooting registered targets in 1975 and for decades later, he could be found at the classification table. One of his youth students was Scott Arvig who now owns Del-Tone Trap Range. Drake attended the 100th Grand where, on Monday, he dropped 3 on the first trap and ran the rest, and no trophy.

He was an avid fisherman & guide and enjoyed his annual goose hunting trip to Canada for 33 straight years.

He is survived by his son Kelly and daughter Kari, and his two sisters Marlene Desris and Katrina Hall.

There will be a gathering for friends at Del-Tone on Feb 6, 2021 from 2-4pm.



Notice:MTA/ATA members: With the Coronavirus limiting our activity, you should check the Gun Club's website and the ATA website to see if the Jackpot Shoots or the ATA Registered shoot has not been delayed or cancelled for a particular Club.

Everybody do their best to stay healthy.
