Letter to qualifiers​

Greetings everyone and Congratulations for qualifying for the 2022 NAC!

The Western Inter Club is proud to welcome you to the 2022 NAC to be held in Utah.

We have been working diligently to provide the best NAC ever! The trial will be located in the beautiful hills of Cache Valley in and around Clarkston, Utah. We have secured in excess of 1,000 acres of prime natural pheasant cover where wild pheasants are plentiful! This is real pheasant cover! Maps to the grounds will be posted on essft.com and also available at the headquarters.

We will have a caravan from headquarters to the grounds every day. We will provide shuttles with designated drivers to get you in and out on time, as the courses will be long. As everyone knows, the Western US has been in a major drought for several years now, however Mother Nature has been kinder to us this year with more moisture, so the cover will be very acceptable. The grounds have been inspected and are clear of any mean seeds, the report will be posted on essft.com.
 
We will have a mix of hen and rooster pheasants supplied by Shane Brown Game Birds. I give you my word they will be prime quality, small, beautiful high flyers.
Training day will be November 29th from 9am-2pm.
Trial dates November 30th 8am to conclusion.
All schedules will be posted on essft.com
