Trap League

Report from Ernie Miller

As of this writing, the Phall Trap League is in it's 4th week. There are over 50 shooters; way over the norm for the last couple of years. Of course, being greedy & wanting to make YOUR CLUB a standout --- more would be better!

I stated at the August meeting, all are welcome to come out & try trap shooting. We sell ammunition & will lend you a gun, if needed. I always want to thank the faithful helpers YOUR CLUB has that come out week by week & make the trap program a well oiled machine.

Thanx; Trap Person, Ernie
