Season Finale:

5/23/26
Red, White, Blue Meet - Ankeny Izaak Walton League
Tuesday, the ticket closes for this 100 target event covering singles and doubles only. Times have not been set yet, but likely a morning event.
New Pioneer Meet
It is hard to believe we are already reaching the end of our season. Today, we will be posting the sign-ups for our final event: the New Pioneer Meet, held during the last weekend of May.
Because high school graduation falls on Saturday, May 30th, we have customized a unique schedule to accommodate everyone's graduation plans and family needs. We will be splitting the team's attendance across the weekend:
Friday Night (May 29th): Singles and Sporting Clays options.
Saturday (May 30th): CLOSED. No team competition or scheduling due to graduation.
Sunday (May 31st): Options for Singles, Handicap, Doubles, and Sporting Clays.
⚠️ Important Registration Rules:
You may only reserve one type of ticket per individual.
You can only compete once in each discipline.
Please grab your tickets promptly so the coaching staff can arrange squadding and logistics.

State Sporting Clays Squadding Update
We were able to squad the State Sporting Clays event this morning. The system needs a little time to settle down before everything is officially locked in, so we will post the final squadding list once spots are 100% secured.

Coach's Corner: The Final Push
As the season comes to a close, we are squarely in the hunt for several team places and individual titles. While we are shooting some of our best targets of the year right now, there is always room for improvement.
If you want to fine-tune your technique before the final meet, please pull a coach aside. We are more than happy to set up one-on-one sessions at your request to get you exactly where you need to be.
Let's finish this season strong!
