Spring Newsletter 2008

 

Finally, it looks like our old fashioned winter is about to end!  With signs of spring in the air, the time has come to start thinking about trap and skeet season.  It’s time to try some new shells or reloads, renew your membership, bring a friend or neighbor along to the club,  pattern your new gun or just shoot some practice with old friends. Your club needs you and is open for your shooting enjoyment Saturday’s from 10:00 to 2:00 through April.  Sunday’s starting in May from 12:00 to 4:00 and Thursdays starting May 1st from 5:00 to 8:00.  We have a full schedule of shooting events this year which should fill everyone’s needs and make your shooting season enjoyable.

The organization meeting will be Monday April 28th. Agenda, Practice shooting starting at 5:00 P.M., review league rules at 7:00 P.M. with free hamburgers and more practice to follow.  Bring your five person roster with subs.  If you don’t have a team and would like to join in, let us know on Saturday’s practice, so we have time to find you a spot.  This league runs for 14 weeks starting May 5th.

 

Trap Help

 If you have a youngster, or know of someone who may be interested in scoring trap and loading targets for the coming season, contact any Board member or Officer.  We will be providing scorer’s for the Monday night trap league and hosting the MN. Southern Zone and other ATA shoots for 2008.
