We need a couple of things for the State Shoot

On Sunday we need some volunteers to help set up a couple of large tents.  These are the tents that one of wonderful gun clubs donate each year but we need help with setting them up so please come out and help us out Sunday Morning I would guess around ten or so.

Also we are in need of a water truck to water the parking lots and driveways.  If you know of one or someone that you think would let us use one for the week please let us know.  Contact either Bruce, Bill myself or Dennis.

The NEW zone director for the SW Zone is Dan Horkan.

For the NE zone the new director is Pat Schutte.

If the information that I have gotten is not correct please forgive me.  If the spelling is incorrect also forgive me and give me a call and I will correct it.

Thanks for volunteering your time and efforts.  The shooters of Wisconsin really do appreciate it.

Raffle tickets

I you have not already turned you raffle ticket stubs and money in to Jim would you please send them in before Saturday June 27th.  If you can't get them in the mail by then please bring them to the State shoot and give them either to Jim Kroeplien or to Theresa Howland in the cashiers office.

Thank you for helping raise funds for the WTA.

Sound System

As you may have noticed in the past we had a sound system to make the morning announcements and play the National Anthem.  We will not be able to get that system this year.  So we are in need of another one.  If anyone has access to one and would be able to loan it to the WTA for a week we would be very appreciative?  Contact me at 262 470 2708.

We have one for use at the events in the new structure like the annual meeting and the Perch fry and such.  This one needs to be loud for announcements.  Thanks

Oh Oh what's this a new structure?????

The start of our new building

Now HEAR this

The Homegrounds is in the need of a sound system.  Does anyone know a shooter or close personal friend that works with sound?  If so give any director a call.  We would like to keep this within the organization if possible.

SE Zone shoot at Beaver Dam

  I would like to thank the Beaver Dam Conservationist for hosting the SE Zone shoot this past week end.  I thought things went quite well dispite a couple of minor machine glitches.  They also said that next year they will have the Pat traps for all the houses.  They were supposed to have them this year but the shipment was delayed.  Other wise they had some good help and plenty of it.  They had some good food and drink.  Thanks and see you next year.

Elections held this weekend.

  I would like to congratulate Jerry Kaszynski of Sussex for being elected SE Zone Director at the SE Zone shoot held this week at Beaver Dam Conservationist club this past week end.

  I would also like to congratulate Glenn Hammerly for being reelected up in the NW Zone at The Heart of Wisconsin this past week end.

  Next time you see either of these fine gentlemen THANK THEM.

Zone shoots this week end

Remember the SE and NW Zones will be held this weekend at Beaver Dam and The Heart of Wis. respectively.

The next weekend the SW and the NE zone shoots will be held at Janesville and Brown County gun clubs respectively.

Election of WTA Directors will be held at each of the clubs.  In three of the zones the current Director will not be running again.  Those zones are the SW zone, the SE zone and the NE zone.  So if you are a resident of these zones and would like to run for director just tell the current director not running and he will put you on the ballot.

Remember that this is your association.  If you don't like the way thing are going this is your chance to make a difference.  WE need new blood and new ideas.  So PLEASE if you are even considering running and have questions about what is involved just ask any director.  NOW is the time to get involved.  Donate some of your time and talents.

WTA gun clubs

  This is for all the gun clubs through out the state.  If you would like the results from your shoot published on our website just send them in to us.  Also if you have a couple of pictures of your shoot send them along.  We will do our best to get them on the site.  If you don't send them we can't list the results.  I have people asking why were the results from shoot XYZ posted.  I could just make up some scores and people.  I gave up my mind reading job when I became a Director.  So if the clubs don't send them to us we will never know who the winners were.

Our Website.

  If any of you have had problems with our website like I have when using a cell phone and trying to click a button and not everything shows up.  Well Elizabeth has added a site map at the bottom of the home page.  This will allow you to get to everything on the site.
 
  Also watch for some new updates coming in the near future.
