Check out the picture of what you could sponsor at the Kern County Gun Club. Interested? Call Cyndi and the club and she will put you in touch with the right person.

Jason David brings home a state championship and busts his first 100
 You could say that 12-year-old Jason David is having a good year. First, he was Intermediate Entry Level champion (with a 194) at the Scholastic Clay Target Program tournament. His team, the Oaktree Junior Claybreakers, placed second in the Intermediate Entry Level Team.  At the California State Trapshooting Championships, Jason was C Class champion, singles with a 195. That included his first 100 straight. And he won the championship with a shootoff. He was also High Overall C Class runner up.  Jason will be a seventh grader at Standard Middle School.

Jason David shines in state Scholastic Clay competition
 Kudos go out to Kern County's young shooter Jason David for bringing home some top gun prizes in the California Scholastic Junior Clay Breakers Program. In the Intermediate Entry Level he was Individual State Champion. His team, the Oaktree Junior Clay Breakers, finished second in the Intermediate Entry Level Team Division.  The team practices on Wednesday nights at Oaktree Gun Club in Newhall. Next time you see Jason, extend your congratulations to this young gun.    

Pacific Arms-Desatoff skeet tourney a success
The Kern County Gun Club held the PSA/Desatoff shoot May 14-16th and one couldn’t ask for a better tournament. John Herkowitz of Pacific Sporting Arms sponsored the shoot hence the PSA portion. John generously provided awards all the way to third place in class. George Desatoff sponsored the Saturday dinner and that’s the Desatoff section. All the parts came together to blend into a perfect shoot - over 100 shooters, weather, good competition, great awards, a special fun shootoff, lots of help to keep it rolling, and a great dinner. It doesn’t get any bet...

Scholastic Clays

 Our second year ended with much success this month. We had 46 kids that were involved faithfully this year which is an outstanding number. I hope to see more next year, we start our 3rd year in September. This is our 1st year with 2 teams going to the state shoot for trap. We also have our skeet teams returning to shoot state here at KCGC this year, we are very proud of all the kids. We have had a couple of kids that earned scholarships for college, and we would love to have more kids use the scholarship program. There are many thanks I would like to give, first to all the...

 Our youth program ended in June on a positive note. It was a successful year during which dozens of kids participated from September through June. I'd like to thank all the kids and parents for taking the time to come out and participate. We enjoyed having you all here and we look forward to seeing you all again in September. I want to give a very special thanks to all of our coaches and all of our volunteers who helped make the program a success.  Of course we are always looking for volunteers (click on headline to read more), as well as donations to help pay for targets and ammo for the kids. If you are interesting in donating or volunteering contact me at 661-205-8569 or Charlie at 661=205-2914.   ;  Cyndi Benson, director KCGC Scholastic Clays
