Dear Fellow Colorado Skeet Shooters;
As we begin another skeet season, I would first like to introduce your 2010 CSSA
Board Members. President- Ron Corning; Vice President - Phil Mills; Treasurer -
Bob Morrow; Secretary - Ralph Pinney. State Directors are Chris Cobb, Dale Sterner
and Mike Montel. National Directors are Lonnie Tanner, Raymond Ray and Mike Gutirrez.
I want to thank the board for all the help and effort they provided in 2009 that
made it an enjoyable year. We had a turn over of three board members for this
next year and thank those that have left the board for the time and effort they
provided
to make it a great skeet shooting year. We say goodbye to Wade Mitsch, Bud Gast, and David Thompson, and hopefully we will see you on the fields again in 2010.
We welcome our new members of the board, and expect great things from them.
Phil Mills, our new Vice President, comes to us from the TriService Sportsman Club.
Dallas Vammer, also from TriService, is our new Chief Referee and will have a chore
in front of him due to the Zone 7 shoot scheduled in Colorado this year. Chris
Cobb, comes from our Colorado Springs shooters and will be filling a CSSA director
position. He should be able to provide the board some great inputs from his
experience around the US at different clubs. As for me, I am excited
to be part of
the Colorado Association and hope to help provide some great shooting again
this year.
The CSSA board has not agreed on what club will host the 2010 State
Shoot in July.
However, we will take in consideration every aspect we believe will make it a great
experience and a premier event for all of us. If you would like to contribute,
send us your feedback from your previous experiences and we will work very hard to make this next state shoot as memorable.
Our CSSA website has been a big hit and we will continue to update it on a regular
basis. There has been some issues with the the pages sometimes loading slow,
to compensate the site will only be posting shoots from the
last three months.
Last year the goal of the board was to try and get people into this sport, as well as, trying to get people back that have left. We seem to have held our own in numbers
and came out in the end with about the same. Some of our good people left,
and some new shooters came smelling fresh gun powder. If any of you have any ideas how to
promote skeet or what it would take to get those former shooters back into the
sport, I am certainly open to any suggestions. Please feel free to contact any of
the board members. You can find our phone numbers and email addresses on our website.
Hope everyone has a great year. Keep your head down and hope you always shoot two
at station 8 low house.
Sincerely,
Ron Corning
CSSA President
