YOUTH SHOOTING: We will be having a youth shoot planning meeting Tuesday, April 2nd at 6:00 pm prior to the club meeting. Anyone is welcome to attend.
Sign up had 11 or 12 kids show up. More sign ups are expected due to the amount of emails and phone calls Scott has been receiving. Orientation went well. Youth shooting will be held Tuesdays as normal, and Scott has the Dry Fire system running Wednesdays for anyone to check out.
Scott has received the tickets for the youth raffle. If you would like some tickets to sell, or a poster to put up, please contact Scott Skattebo at (920)629-0370. The youth shoot will be held Thursday, May 16th through Sunday, May 19th this year. Lots of help is going to be needed. Donations are also greatly appreciated. Scott has the list of donors from last year if anyone would like to see it to get donations again this year. Here is a link to the donation letter.
