Armed Forces Skeet Association An internet board of directors meeting was called for by the President and held in early June, 2011. The meeting concluded at 2400 hours on 10 June 2011. The purpose of the meeting was to approve a new program and awards package proposed by Pat Knutson and John Swidrak. Emails were sent by Joe Pierce to all officers and directors because Clint was out of the country. The new awards package is reflected in the 2012 Shoot Program (10 June 2011) on our web site with minor changes from what was sent to the directors for decision in order to add more silver coins and reduce the number of pouches to be awarded. The treasurer will revisit the awards package as silver prices change, but the silver awards shown on the 2012 program are the minimum silver awards to be given for the forseeable future. The proposal went farther than the original guidance provided by the board in May 2011 and changed the majority of the awards in order to keep the silver coin awards while decreasing the total cost of the awards package to near the 2011 awards package cost. Concurrent event average tables will also be changed for the 2012 shoot to make the entries in each group approximately the same. This action is taken every few years and is nothing new. There were 19 votes in favor of the proposal and one opposed. 3 Directors did not submit votes. The proposal was accepted. ROSE YES NOVOTNY YES KRUTSINGER YES NOVOTNY – CAN’T VOTE TWICE PER BY LAWS
Suggestions and caveats were included with some of the votes. Those suggestions and actions taken are documented below. 1. Felton. Nonconcur with proposal. The changes to the awards should be limited to reducing multiple coin awards to single coin awards and nothing more as was directed by the directors at the May 2011 meeting. 2. Fain. Change Group 1st to ½ oz. and 2d to pouch. Pat – Made both ½ ounce coins. 3. Jones. Delete New Shooter Events. Pat – No action taken on this. 4. Simmons. Look at Concurrent Event Averages. SSSR looks off. Pat – Done and changes made to average tables. 5. Swidrak. “John has voted yes with the condition that he is doing so based on the belief that the directors and/or membership have previously voted to do away with prizes for Group I awards. In that case he is willing to respect their desires until this issue can be brought before the association for review. However it is John’s belief that we should continue to follow Brad’s reporting format (for) All-American points and simplify NSSA reporting, but he also strongly believes the prize structure should be expanded to award G1-1 and G1-2 coins that parallel G2-1 and G2-2 awards.” Pat- I recommend that this be discussed at the 2012 board meeting. 6. Merritt. Fix wording on IS Team eligibility and D/E 12 GA awards. Pat – Done.

Armed Forces Skeet Association ROLL CALL: Meeting convened at 1752 hours, Wednesday May 18, 2011 by Vice President Bradley Felton.
A. A military shooter is any member of the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, Air/National Guard, or any reserve component of those services plus the commissioned corps of the Public Health Service and certain NOAA members. Eligibility is established by the possession of a valid armed services identification or CAC card. B. A retired military shooter is any retired member of the armed services listed in paragraph “a” above who is in possession of a valid retired armed services identification card. The member may be retired for length of service or for medical reasons. C. Military reserve component personnel may shoot in the Armed Services Skeet Championships whether or not they are on active duty during the shoot. D. Military cadets (including ROTC cadets) may shoot in the Armed Services Skeet Championships. E. Interservice Teams. One of the following two criteria must be met to be eligible to compete as a member of an Interservice Team: (1) A military member as defined in paragraph “a” above. (2) A cadet or midshipman in possession of a valid armed services identification card. Exception: If a service does not have five members (as defined in e (1) and (2) above) entered in the shoot, shoot management may allow the team to include one retired military member from the same service as determined by his/her Armed Forces of the United States Identification Card. No team so formed shall be eligible to establish any world records."
Brad Felton then explained the three rule changes from NSSA and a discussion followed about the rule deleting the HAA event. Jim Simmons made a motion to delete our HAA event starting with our 2012 shoot. 2nd by Grant Morrison. Motion passed. Pat Knutson then explained the current awards package and the proposed awards package. Specifically, the costs involved in both due to the rising and fluctuating cost of silver. The general consensus was that we want to retain silver coins. Discussion followed on how many years could we sustain a loss in revenue from the shoot before we had to seriously consider changing the silver coin awards or drastically raising entry and concurrent fees to break even. A proposal was made to have the treasurer do another awards package proposal based on the current package but showing a cost savings by deleting the second silver coin from any award that gives more than one coin to the same position. For example, a position that gives a 1 ounce and a ½ ounce coin would only get a 1 ounce coin. The last item of discussion was the club bids for the 2012 shoot. A vote was taken with the following result: Waco Skeet and Trap Club will be the site of the 2012 AFSC. Individual Director’s name and the site they voted for follows:
Clint F. Kreuser
