What's happening @ your club?

Pistol

With enough participation we are looking forward to our Fall Pistol League beginning in September. More information will be posted in future Newsletters.

Trap League

Spring trap started March 20th. The 3rd week started April 10th. Since that time we have had only 3 days of decent shooting weather. This, up until now has kept attendance pretty low. With the coming of better weather the week of. April 11th and on, hopefully things will pick up. There is still much time left to come out and participate. A shooter has until April 28th to catch up all of their needed scores. As always, all are welcome to participate at any time, league, practice, or help out when needed. THANX; Trap Person.
