RERR COIINTY 4-H SKEET & TRAP PROJECT NARRATIVE
The Kerr County 4-H Skeet & Trap Project has been in existence for
four years. It is a project level activity open to all interested
youth between the ages of 9 to 18 as a standard part of the Texas
4-H Shooting Sports program under the Extension Service. In 1997,
mandatory Texas Hunter Education was added to the project. We are
open to all youth from County 4-H clubs as well as youth in
adjoining counties. Texas 4-H Shooting Sports is now the number
three activity only behind livestock and horse projects statewide.
We encompass over 7,000 youth in all shooting disciplines and are
growing rapidly. This growth is due largely to the ability to
reach inter-city as well as rural based young people. Our project
currently consists of some twenty plus youth. Our biggest
limitation to date has been availability of adequate shooting
ranges.
The 4-H Skeet & Trap Project in conjunction with the Hill Country
Gun Club now hosts ten (10) major events annually including the
District 10 4-H Shoot, Texas Big Horn Sheep Society, Cowboys
Artists of America, Kerrville Senior Games, Norwest Bank, Security
State Bank & Trust, Texas A&M Scholarship Fund Raiser, and two
registered shoots. In 1997 these events had over 500 participants.
Our current facility as well as the proposed new facility is open
to the public. We are currently working with the Chamber of
Commerce and Convention and visitors Bureau in both Kerrville and
Fredericksburg to increase awareness of facility availability.
Our goals are to teach firearm safety, basic and advanced shotgun
skills, hunter education, and promote junior leadership. Our
secondary goal is to have a facility in the Kerr County/Kerrville
area that can be an asset and draw for the Hill Country Area. We
are currently in negotiations with Schreiner College to provide a
means of having an intercollegiate team and offer Skeet and Trap as
Physical Education courses.
On September 1, 1997, The Hill Country Gun Club acting as managing
partner for the 4-H Skeet & Trap Project finalized a twenty-five
(25) year lease with the City of Kerrville on a 63.20 acre site
just off of Loop 534 at the eastern edge of the city. The lease
took two years in the negotiations, planning and approval. Lease
payment is $100 annually with a required capital expenditure of
$100,000 in the first five years, or the completion of three skeet
and trap fields. This lease occupies the closed land-fill and is
one of the very few uses that can utilize and reactivate this type
of land.
PROJECT NARRATIVE - CONTD
The project proposal currently consists of two phases. Phase I
will require building three skeet fields, two being overlaid with
trap fields and the third being overlaid with both a trap and 5-
stand sporting clays field; all site grading and utilities as well
as fencing, parking area, restrooms, and temporary warehouse. This
will allow us to become operational. Phase II will be the
construction of a clubhouse/office/education hall, warehouse,
pavilion and additional site improvements. The total project cost
is estimated to run $188,500 to $253,500 (see attachment for
breakdown).
Phase I will require approximately $100,000. This phase is
scheduled for completion by late summer of 1998. Phase II will
hopefully be completed by the year 2000. Presently, survey and
field notes has been completed and paid for ($1,900), and site
design is near completion. The 4-H has a commitment from BFI for
all dirt work which is estimated to run $30,000 to $40,000. We
have received $7,000 in contributions and have pledges for an
additional $7, 500 plus a five acre lot which will be deeded and
sold (estimated net value $7, 500) just in our first forty-five days
of fund raising. The Hill Country Gun Club will be contributing
over $25,000 in skeet and trap machines already owned.
In addition to the foregoing which totals some $75,000, we intend
to raise the balance through individual contributions and grants.
In-kind donations as labor or materials from club members and local
retailers will contribute an estimated $25,000 to $30,000. The
Hill Country Gun Club currently has in excess of $20,000 in
reserves for enabling the cash flow.
