DELEGATES ARTICLE FOR JUNE ISSUE OF TRAP & FIELD

Hello from New York and greetings to everyone.  I hope that everyone is doing well.  Now that we are into early summer, I hope that everyone is enjoying the weather and out shooting plenty of registered targets.

            I am sorry to report that New York has lost another ATA Shooter.  Remi “Charlie” BeauSejour passed away on April 8, 2021 due to a Covid-19 complications.  Charlie was 75 years of age and resided in Staten Island.  Charlie started registering targets in 1985 and was standing on the 21 Yard Line.  During his career, Charlie registered 207,100 singles, 101,550 handicap, and 16,250 doubles targets.  Our deepest sympathy is expressed to his wife Barbara and his entire family.

            As most people in New York are aware, recreational marijuana has been legalized in the State of New York.  However, please remember that Section XII, B, 2 (a) of the official ATA Rule Book states: 
“2. It is the responsibility and the required duty of Shoot Management to immediately remove and disqualify any contestant at any time during an ATA sanctioned tournament: 

• Who is under the obvious influence of alcohol or drugs before starting or during any event, sub-event, shoot-off or practice, or who consumes any alcoholic beverage or drugs during participation in any event, sub-event or between events or sub-events held on the same day including shoot-offs and practice.  For purposes of this rule, “drugs” shall mean any illegal, or recreational drug, and shall also mean any prescription medication if that prescription medication affects the judgement or conduct of the contestant to a degree that renders the contestant incapable of safely participating in the sport of trapshooting, whether during a registered event and/or tournament or practice”.

Remember that recreational marijuana will be treated like alcohol.  If any contestant has been discovered consuming marijuana during any ATA sanctioned tournament, as stated above from the ATA rule book, Shoot Management will immediately remove and disqualify the contestant.  This shall apply to all ATA tournaments held at the New York State ATA home grounds in Cicero or any other sanctioned ATA tournament held in New York State. 
For your information, the following was posted on the ATA web page:

• “Ammunition manufacturers have indicated to us that they are working 24/7 to try to catch up with the overwhelming demand for ammunition.  The cause of the shortage has been linked to the tremendous number of new firearms owners in the recent months, hoarding by consumers, and a fear of possible price increases.

We will continue to monitor the situation and relay any information we obtain regarding future developments”.

• “Due to limited shooting opportunities in 2020, the look back period for minimum target requirements in the 2021 Satellite Grands has been extended back to September 1, 2018 to the date of classification for the shoot.”

I hope this information is helpful for those shooters who are not regularly on a computer or the internet and does not view the ATA web page.
