</article> </section> <!-- <section class="about"> <article> <div class="iHeader">What is the League?</div> <p class="iParagraph02">The Folsom Shotgun League is home at the Sacramento Valley Shooting Center's (SVSC) shotgun range and is affiliated with the Folsom Shooting Club (FSC) that owns and operates the SVSC. The Folsom Shotgun League is a recreational shotgun league operated by its members with the intent of having a safe, organized and enjoyable trap, skeet and five-stand shooting experience. Newcomers and beginners are always welcome and fancy shotguns are not necessary.</p> </article> <article> <div class="iHeader">History of the Folsom Shotgun League</div> <p class="iParagraph">The first league session occurred in the summer of 2010 with only 9 participants. During 2011, we conducted three separate sessions, Spring, Summer and Fall, which has become our practice. Additionally, a committee was formed with five league members to govern the league.</p> <p class="iParagraph">In July 2013, our application to become an affiliated club with the Folsom Shooting Club was approved by the FSC Board of Directors.</p> <p class="iParagraph">Our principles have been: <ul class="iList"> <li>Have fun.</li> <li>Provide a learning and safe shooting environment.</li> <li>Complete range improvement projects to better our shooting facility.</li> <li>Attract shotgunners to the Sacramento Valley Shooting Center shotgun range.</li> <li>Charge no fees for participating in our league. Target fees are paid to the SVSC.</li> <li>Welcome all levels of shooters, families, youngsters of at least 10 years of age with a parent or guardian, and non-FSC members.</li> </ul> </p> </article> <article> <div class="iHeader">League Schedule</div> <p class="iParagraph03">Typically the league operates three 11 week sessions each year: spring, summer, and fall. Most sessions include 100 trap targets, 100 skeet targets, and 100 five-stand targets. We shoot two rounds (50 targets) on each scheduled Saturday shooting date. Occasionally we have performed some shooting on Sundays because of range congestion that has occurred on some Saturdays. A signup period is conducted for each session and members may sign up for each of our three annual sessions each year, or just one or two sessions as your schedule may allow.</p> </article> <article> <div class="iHeader">Schedule Format</div> <p class="iParagraph">A typical 11 week session schedule includes open dates for makeup and shoot-ahead shooting to accommodate absences. We also include optional shoot-away dates in our session schedules where squads meet at another club to shoot some other shotgun sport. Sporting Clays is the popular shoot-away activity. We generally have a project date where we perform a range improvement project and on the last day of each of our three league sessions we have a lunch. In the months between the fall and spring sessions (November to February), we commonly conduct one-day fun shoots celebrating Thanksgiving, the Holiday Season, and or the New Year. Most of the fun shoots have been for fun, and with prizes. Our fun shoots are optional and with separate fees.</p> </article> <article> <div class="iHeader">League Fees</div> <p class="iParagraph04">There are no league fees. Upon signing up for a league session, you will pay for your targets at the posted SVSC rates. Thus, SVSC members pay $72 for a 300 target session and non-members pay $96. We charge no additional fee for participation in our league except that the shoot-away and one-day fun shoots are at extra cost, and they are optional activities. Participants must provide all shooting equipment, including a shotgun(s), ammunition, shooting vest or shell pouch, eye and ear protection.</p> </article> <article> <div class="iHeader">Signup</div> <p class="iParagraph">A registration period for each of our league sessions is announced in the SVSC newsletter and Forum, and is posted at the SVSC Shotgun Range Office. After the registration period is closed, squad assignments are made and a schedule is developed. Registration and fee payment is conducted at the SVSC Shotgun Range Office. All minors under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times during league activities.</p> </article> <article> <div class="iHeader">League Committee</div> <p class="iParagraph02">The Folsom Shotgun League has a governing committee that consult on the schedule, squad assignments, rules and operation of the league.</p> </article> <article> <div class="iHeader">Rules and Responsibilities</div> <p class="iParagraph">The league rules are provided to each participant upon signing up for a league session. Our rules are rarely needed, but were designed for safe and fair shotgun shooting.</p> </article> <article> <div class="iHeader">Safety</div> <p class="iParagraph03">Safety is of the upmost importance.
