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!

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.
