Kern County Gun Club

Christmas fun shoot, potluck set for Saturday, December 12

Is there a better way to kick off the holiday season than shooting some clay targets and spending time with your friends? Mark Saturday, December 12, on your calendar for a fun shoot followed by a Christmas potluck dinner. For $50, we'll shoot 25 targets in trap, skeet and five targets. That's 75 targets in all. Winners paid out in Lewis system so everyone has a chance to win. Bring your families so they can mingle. Shooting starts at 10 a.m., potluck at 2 p.m. The club will provide turkey and ham; you bring the rest. See you then!
