ATA Registration Certificate
This certifies the Medford Gun Club has been authorized to hold a registered
shoot at Medford, Oregon on July 15 through July 17, 2016. ATA rules shall
govern this shoot and all scores shall be included in the official records of
the Amateur Trapshooting Association. Hunter Galloway III, Secretary
Shooter’s Responsibility
Display ALL your average cards or computer‐generated averages at the Handicap Table
immediately upon arrival. Shooters are required to have both their 16 yard and doubles
averages computed for use by the Handicap Committee.
PENALTY: At this shoot, class and yardage penalty will apply to shooters who do not have 500
16‐yard and handicap targets in the current and previous year. Class B and 21yards will be
assigned. 300 targets are required in doubles in the current and previous year, or shoot Class
B.
Be sure your classification and handicap yardage are marked plainly on your entry form before
you leave the table. It is your responsibility to know the rules. You are subject to penalties for
shooting the wrong classification or on the wrong yardage even if your card is so marked.
Targets shot in PITA registered competition may be counted to avoid penalty classification.
It shall be the shooter’s responsibility to inform the Handicap Committee as to their eligibility
for special classification (Lady‐1, Lady‐II, Sub‐Veteran, Veteran, Senior Veteran, Junior Gold,
Junior and Sub‐Junior) to be indicated on their entry form. Without such a declaration at the
time of entry, the shooter will not be allowed to compete for the applicable special category
trophies. NO EXCEPTIONS to this rule will be allowed.
If possible, please enter all events you plan to shoot at the time of your initial entry. This will
save a considerable amount of time and make things more pleasant for all shooters.
No counter checks or second party checks will be accepted by the Cashier. Checks will be
accepted for the amount of shooting fees only, no exceptions. All entries must be made in US
funds payable to Medford Gun Club.
RULES: By entering the competition, every contestant agrees to accept all official decisions
and to abide by the ATA rules. Members are strongly encouraged to know the ATA rules and
abide by them, both for their own benefit and for the benefit of other shooters.
Class winners and ties will not be advanced one class for the next like event.
THREE MINUTE WAIT: Be ready to shoot when your squad is called. No shooter will be called
on the speaker. Your squad will be allowed a wait of three minutes for you to take your place.
PLEASE CHECK YOUR SCORE AFTER FIRING AT EACH 5 TARGETS: According to ATA rules, the
score keeper must keep the score sheet in plain view of the shooters at all times. If shooters
insist on this, many arguments may be avoided. The squad leader (No. 1 shooter) will total the
score after each 25 targets and initial the score sheet before leaving the trap. Errors made in
totaling will be corrected when discovered. Any target other than clearly marked dead, shall
be lost.
SHORT SQUADS: Short squads will be avoided when possible.
RELOADS: Reloads will be permitted at this tournament.
SAFETY: All persons including competitors, referees and trap personnel must wear eye and
hearing protection while on the trap field. Failure to comply may result in disqualification.
GUN BREAKDOWN: In case of gun breakdown, a shooter will be allowed fifteen (15) minutes
for gun repair or replacement.
CROSS REGISTRATION: Targets may be cross‐registered with the PITA subject to all fees, rules
and requirements. Shooter must shoot from their longest yardage and earned yardage will be
punched on both cards.
TARGET SETTING: Targets will be set each morning and between events by the
target setting committee according to ATA rules. Re‐setting of targets will only be
done by Medford Gun Club officials or designated line judges.
SHOOT‐OFFS: With the exception of Events 1 and 3 (see #8 below), shoot‐offs will be held
following the last event of the day in the order the events were shot. The first call will be
announced 15 minutes after the last squad, in the last daily event, has finished shooting.
The second call will be 5 minutes later. Any shooter who does not report to their assigned
trap within five minutes after the second call will be disqualified. Ties will be shot off in all
events unless all shooters involved in the tie agree to carry‐over or other resolution of the
tie.
IRS REGULATIONS: IRS regulations require a Social Security number for payout values of
$600.00 or greater.
PAYOUTS: The shooter must check the payout sheets before the start of the last event.
Problems must be resolved prior to the end of the shoot or the results will stand as posted.
Payouts will be made by check only and mailed within 10 days of the end of the shoot.
REFUNDS: No entry fee, purses, or options will be refunded after an event has started.
TROPHIES:
# 1 Should you win or tie for class in any singles or doubles event, or earn yardage in any
handicap event, it shall be your duty to report to the Handicap Table and have your
classification reviewed or yardage punched. Any shooter whose class or yardage is changed
for any reason shall be considered to be notified when the new class or yardage is posted
on the bulletin board.
# 2 Any shooter failing to carry out rule # 1, or who shoots in a class or on a yardage marked

WORKING TO KEEP SHOOTING AFFORDABLE
 We do mining -- large or small clubs
specializing in difficult to mine areas
 We buy lead
 We convert old lead to new shot
 Environmental clean up
Shooters are the cornerstone of our business
and I am honored to give back to those who
support me.
Our donations represent the commitment to
my belief in the P.I.T.A. and its shooters.
Organized clay target shooting will keep our
favorite pastime alive and well for our children
and our grandchildren to enjoy.
