It’s time again for our Fall meat shoot. It will be on Saturday, Sept. 18th starting at 10:00 a.m. As all of our meat shoots it will be a guaranteed shoot. If you shoot in ten games you are guaranteed to win a prize.
Games for this shoot are $2.50 and the range fee is $2.00 for the day.
Cecil has filled the freezers with a variety of prizes, so come on up and sign up for a chance to win something good to dinner.
These shoots bring in some real good shooters and also make money for the club. Our next big shoot will be our Turkey Shoot in November.
Because of our Hunters Safety Class the last week of th has been canceled. We will have shoots on all the other Friday nights this month and next month.
