HISTORY:

With great interest being displayed in the fast growing sport of international skeet shooting, local enthusiasts organized a one range skeet field in Amite, LA that consisted of lean-to trap houses set up in a local cow pasture.  The year was 1952.  By the spring of 1954, local support had grown to such a level that a skeet shooting club was incorporated under the name of Florida Parishes Skeet and Gun Association.  Later that year, a knotted cypress club house was constructed on the Banks of the Tangipahoa River.  It is certainly one of the most beautiful of its kind.

After organization, the club immediately became affiliated with the National Skeet Shooting Association and began hosting registered competitive shoots.

The club adopted as its emblem the wild turkey which was staging a come back throughout the south and especially in Louisiana.
