Welcome to Hill n Dale Club, On behalf of the Ohio Sporting Clays Association and Hill n Dale Club, we welcome you to the 2025 Ohio State Championship. The board members, club staff, and club membership are proud to host this prestigious event. We have assembled a great team to make these 4 days a great time for everyone. The targets and events will all be first class and the social events on Friday and Saturday evenings are not to be missed. Work for this event began last fall by adding additional parking as well as a new course footprint on an area that we have not used before, including a new cart path and additional stations for the 100 target SuperSporting event. I highly recommend that you get signed up for this event if you have not already! In the past, all Subgauge, Pump, & SxS events concluded on Saturday. These events, including 2 new events, a 50 target 12ga. Sporting event & True Pair event, will be available all 4 days this year! We hope that the information in this program will help answer any questions you might have before arriving on the grounds. Such an event would not be possible without the support of the sponsors listed in this program and displayed on the club grounds. Beretta USA has stepped up this year and the New Beretta High All-Around Trophy will be awarded for the highest combined score in the Main Event, Prelim., SuperSporting, and 5 Stand events (450 total targets). Any shooter who shoots in all of these events will also be in a random draw for a Beretta A300 Sporting! We look forward to a great competition and building many new friendships throughout the duration of the tournament this year and in 2026 as well. Shoot Straight, Shawn Spindel General Manager, Hill n Dale Club

We want to pass along a few reminders that will make everyone’s weekend a most enjoyable and memorable time. Hope to see all of you at our annual dinner party on Saturday!!! Start Times – To keep each event on time, please be at your designated shooting stand 10 minutes before the start of the event. Scorekeepers must be able to verify your presence and the shoot order prior to the start. Be sure to leave AMPLE travel time and check on the course layout map at registration to find your station. Squad Rotations – We expect to be at capacity for many of the events. It is important that your squad rotate in the assigned order. Please do not move ahead of another squad or shoot the stations out of order unless instructed to do so by your scorekeeper or event manager. Scorekeepers - Remember that the scorekeeper oversees the shooting stand and works at the direction of the shoot management. It is your responsibility as the shooter to ensure that your score has been marked properly on your scorecard BEFORE leaving the station. Scorecards will not be changed after you leave the shooting station. All scorecards are to be turned into the scorekeeper before leaving your last station. Sportsmanlike Conduct – Any unsportsmanlike conduct or language will not be tolerated. Anyone that disrupts the harmony of the tournament can and will be expelled with no refunds by the Board or shoot management. Also, please observe all speed limits, and designated parking areas for cars, RVs, and trailers.

Written protest must be presented to shoot management between the start of Saturday’s rotation and the end of Sunday’s rotation. C.) There must be $100 filing fee submitted with the written protest. D.) A ruling in favor of the protest will result in the return of the $100 filing fee. A ruling not in favor of the protest forfeits the filing fee. Safety First – Safe shooting is no accident. All competitors and spectators will be required to wear eye and ear protection. All guns, unless carried in a gun case, must be carried with the breech or chamber open except when in the shooting stations.

Ohio Sporting Clays Championship Contingency Plan Determining a State Champion and Other Placements In the event the Ohio Sporting Clays Championship is shortened due to the occurrence of any natural disaster, act of God or event beyond the direct, immediate control of the Host Club or the OSCA the following procedure may be used to establish the State Champion, runner-up and third and such other placings as may be deemed necessary. The Board of Directors of the OSCA shall have total authority over the use of and the execution of the Contingency Plan, not the host club. (The host club shall have the normal authority over their grounds, but subject to this Contingency Plan in this instant scenario.) All shooters who sign up for and/or take part in some or all of any event are deemed to have accepted the sole authority of the OSCA Board. No appeals to any authority besides those described below shall have any effect. Any decision about the use of the Contingency Plan shall be made by the Board of Directors who are present at the shoot. There must be at least three (3) present to have a quorum in this circumstance. No board member who is affected by the Contingency Plan (HOA, RU, M1-M3, X1-X3) may vote, but all shall have input into the decision-making process. The decision of one (1) Board member shall be enough to enact the Contingency Plan if there are otherwise not enough members present for a larger vote. Other Board Members may be consulted by phone to convene a quorum. If any event is shortened or any rotation is shortened by Act of God, weather, or any other circumstances, the Board of Directors may enact a Contingency Plan to the extent they determine appropriate to determine placings and ranks of shooters in the various events. The determination that an event or rotation has been shortened shall be solely the province of the Board. The decision to enact a contingency plan shall be solely the province of the Board. Any finals, shoot off or replacement course/field may be shot on a 5 stand or overlay field. The minimum rules of each discipline (for example FITASC) shall be observed in the manner determined by the Board. For example, FITASC shoot offs require one peg minimum. Sub gauge events require the use of the appropriate gauge. Super Sporting requires the use of three or more traps per stand, etc. However, once the minimum rules of each event are satisfied, in the sole discretion of the Board, said event may be resolved on a 5 stand or overlay field. The Board shall endeavor to create a level of competition possible under the circumstances. The Board may decide how many participants they will allow to participate. This may be determined in whatever way the Board feels is equitable. If the various participants have not shot the same courses, then the Board may adjust scores by as equitable a system as possible or may start all participants scores at zero, as they see fit. The Board may designate a new sporting course to be shot at the Host Club. Alternatively, the Board may have the competitors shoot on a 5 stand or overlay field as described above. If the Host Club grounds are not suitable for the determinations, the Board may designate another upcoming registered shoot at another club to determine placements. A quorum of the Board shall attend such a shoot to administer the procedure chosen. Only a shooter who has been selected to participate in a contingency shall have standing to protest. Such a protest shall be stated to the Board prior to the first shot being fired. The shooter must succinctly state his objection and basis to the Board, who will issue a ruling. There is no appeal for this procedure. /06.2025
