Looking like the above "rumor" may have substance. There is significant interest in keeping it alive, same format, same weekend, different venue. More details to follow within a few days.

I have enjoyed the U.P. shoot for over 10 years. I'll change venues and go to Duluth but not Wisconsin

Don't give up on Shooting SxSs Fathers day weekend. The Yooper is moving to MRC near Medford,WI. The details are being worked out and an official announcement and updated web pages will be available soon. Many of the vendors have already committed to the new venue. MRC has been throwing sporting clays targets for over 20 years. MRC host several large shoot every year. They have the membership and the ground to make this a very special shoot. Plenty of room for the main events and side events as well. More details and applications will be on line shortly.

where is Medford WI and about how far is it from Sagola?

It's over by wausau. Google is your friend.

A friend said, ''How can the UP shoot be held in Medford?''

Club is 8 miles north of Medford. Lots of Motels and restaurants.

North is UP-- South is Down--simple math for the Beer und Bratwurst boyz in the Packer State--Wonder if they will import all those colorful balloons from MASS for the famous "Luftschutzen" event. Enjoy!!

Kinda like the Philadelphia Athletics becoming the Kansas City Athletics becoming the Oakland A's. Name will obviously be changed as the location is changed, but it will still be a side by side shoot with a format familiar to those who've attended the UP Shoot in the past. No sense abandoning the idea just because STSC has decided they're not going to host it. Still a lot of sxs fans in the Upper Midwest who'd like to see the event continue.

Why the move in the first place? There is another club south towards Iron Mtn with lots of room and a good sporting clays course and a covered 5 stand. Was this ever considered? An additional 4 hrs travel....I don't think so.
