Wisconsin Spring Regional for Ozaukee Scholastic Shooting Sports Team.

Ozaukee Scholastic Shooting Sports (OSSS) completed the first action shooting match of our season on May 13^th, 2023.  The Wisconsin Spring Regional was attended by 8 teams from 3 states (WI, MI, and IA) totaling 313 entries, of which 43% were female athletes.  OSSS pistol/rifle team placed very well, including first place in both center fire pistol and 1911- varsity squad, first place in optic rifle- open squad, and second place in rimfire pistol- intermediate (middle school) squad. Individually, OSSS’s Matt Sauer placed HOA in center fire pistol and 1911, and Owen Mondloch placed a close second in center fire pistol.  

OSSS is looking forward to our WI State Match coming up June 17-18^th, which will be the largest SASP (Scholastic Action Shooting Program) State Match in the nation with 462 entries, over 100 more than the Texas State Match which is the second largest.  Thirteen teams from 3 states will compete at the WI State Match, of which 41% will be female athletes.  We are in need of Range Safety Officers for our state match.

In July, OSSS will be attending SASP Nationals in Ohio which is already set to be a world record with over 2300 entries.

On June 2nd and June 3rd, our club hosted the 23rd annual WI State IDPA Championship.

We also had the support of many athletes from OSSS, their families and multiple working members from our club.

Open Trap Shooting Updates

Sundays, Mondays & Wednesdays we will now have an extra trap field open to accomodate the higher volume of trap shooters we’ve been experiencing. We will not have the field staffed with a puller to keep costs down. This field will be great for those looking to shoot rounds of practice that don’t need official scorekeeping. We’ve been trying it out the past few Wednesdays and it has reduced the backlog, specifically for the first hour of being open, so we are extending this to Sundays and Mondays now. Dan has officially named this, “The Express Lane”.

Tuesday Action Pistol Practice Sessions

We will start having action pistol practice sessions for club members only on the Roger Cross Action Shooting Range Tuesday evening from 4:30pm to 7:00pm starting May 2nd. All safety rules from IDPA / USPSA will apply.

The bays will be available for practice, but the club will not be doing any setup or teardown; members participating will be fully responsible setup / teardown. Target stands etc will be available for use and targets (limited availability) will be available to purchase for $2 each. If you have any questions, please email idpa@saukvillegunclub.com.

Any updates or cancellations will be posted on our Facebook group, “Saukville Action Pistol Sports”. Please follow this group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/srpcidpa
