National Skeet Shooting Association
World Vintage Shotgun Championships
Gainesville, Florida 1/10/2014
March 6-9, 2014
WELCOME SHOOTERS Welcome to the N.S.S.A.’s 14th Annual World Vintage Championships set for March 6-9, 2014.
This is the first time we have hosted this tournament in the Deep South [Gainesville, Florida] in the
Winter. The Gator Trap and Skeet Club is looking forward to your visit in beautiful, sunny Gainesville.
Many thanks to the Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Company, our Signature Sponsor, for their continued
support of this vintage shooting program. Also, we wish to express our thanks to our daily event sponsors who
are showcased throughout this program.
In addition to the traditional Skeet Championships using the circa 1935 skeet rules, we offer additional
events for Side-by-Side Game Guns and Hammer Guns, a special day for 16 Gauge shotgun events, and daily side
games in Trap and 5 Stand. You are invited to shoot any or all of these side matches in 5-Stand Sporting or
Down-the-Line Trap for some special awards. We are planning a Galazan catalog gift certificate drawing every
afternoon once the shooting ends--open to every shooter regardless of scores.
Also, for Elsie and CSMC fans there is a special Event Sunday, the America’s Best Gun Challenge. See the
program for details.
We hope that you will participate in every event while you are visiting the us here in the Sunshine State.
Remember, no special memberships are required to participate. Other than on the special 16 Gauge Day, Skeet events
are limited to “vintage style” firearms--specifically side-by-side or pump-action shotguns of either modern or vintage
manufacture. Also, some side events are gauge specific or limited to side-by-side shotguns only, so be sure to
scan our entire program.
Good Luck and Good Shooting!

The grounds where Gator Skeet and Trap Club now exists was requisitioned by the US Army Air Forces in 1942 to train the then Army Air Corp gunners how to shoot "lead" in aero combat. After war duty it was changed to a civilian gun club. At one time funded by Gainesville Parks & Recreation, GS&TC is now a not-for profit organization and pays rent to the Airport Authority.
