2025 PSSA Shoot Schedule Updates:

Due to shooter interest and positive responses from club delegates and their members, we will be moving the Westy Hogans event into September 2025.  This will be on a one year trial basis as it will require volunteer help for scoring and loading, especially on Friday and Saturday.  The August date will remain and will now be the PSSA Summer Championships.  More details will be coming as we get closer to the shooting season, however, please consider scoring a few squads or loading a trap or two during the Westy Hogans.

We look forward to seeing you in 2025!

PSSA Executive Committee introduces our new website

Pre-squadding will open for the Keystone Open through

Pre-squad.com on April 16th at 8:00 PM ET.

The PA State shoot will open April 30th at 8:00 pm ET.

With the onset of the 2025 PSSA season upon us, here are some updates on a few items that will be working a little differently this year.

·         Pre-Squadding

This year the PSSA will be using Pre-Squad.com for all pre-squadding. 

·         Bank Assignments

For the majority of events, bank will go to a random draw for assignments this year.  Assignments will be drawn the night before the events and at which time, squadding will be done on the next available position without regard to the bank number.  To keep it fair for all shooters, returning positions and re-drawing of squads will not be permitted.  The events that will not be random will be Events 1 & 4 of the Colonial Classic, Events 20, 21, & 22 of the State Shoot, and the Westy Hogans Events.  Bank assignments will be posted daily on the website and Facebook as well as hard copies posted throughout the grounds.

·         Westy Hogans

Due to the need for volunteers for the Westy Hogans, those who volunteer will be able to select the banks they will be working to shoot on.  Sign-up sheets will be available at the Help Desk during the State Shoot for those who wish to help.  The level of help that we have will determine how many banks and flights will be used for the Westy Hogans.

·         PSSA Daily Fees

Effective May 1, 2025, the daily fees for the PSSA will increase to $3 from the current $2.  New slips will be printed and available to club representatives at the Keystone Open and all PSSA events at the Help Desk.

·         Handicap 100

Thanks to Jonathan Hannahoe from Shamrock Sporting Arms and Scott Grossman of Grossman Shooting Products, a $5 option will be added to all handicap events.  Any non-targets only shooter who plays the option and breaks a 100 straight in the handicap will win 20 flats of premium ammunition.  The full rules will be listed in the program which will be posted shortly on the PSSA website.

·         2k Monday

Thanks to Stuart Printz, the PSSA will be having a special shootoff on Monday, June 9 in conjunction with Monday’s handicap events during the State Shoot.  All non-target only shooters who shoot and complete both handicap events on Monday will be eligible for the 2k shootoff.  The format will be similar to the Krieghoff shootoff but will be comprised of the total scores from both the handicap events.

·         East/West Races

The PSSA will be re-incarnating the East-West team races at this year’s state shoot, similar to the way they were done many years ago.  Teams will be comprised of the highest scoring shooters during this year’s zone shoots being held May 3 & 4 at Bradford Gun Club and Valley Gun & Country Club.  More details will be in the program.

·         Campsite #1 Raffle

President Neilson has decided to keep his regular site for his use and therefore, Campsite # 1 will be available through a raffle.  There will only be 100 tickets available at $50.  The winner will be randomly drawn on April 30th or once all 100 tickets are sold.  The winner will have a one-year lease for the 2025 season on Campsite # 1.  If the winner is already a leaseholder, a refund of their lease fees will be issued.  All other regular lease rules will apply.

The Board of the Hall of Fame would like to Congratulate Everyone who has made the team!!
