  • John and Joe Memorial Shoot

    On October 8, 2022, a memorial shoot was held in honor of two of our founders, President John Moen and Joe Fries, who we sadly lost over the past year. Following the raising of the flag and playing of the National Anthem, some reminiscences were shared by members of the club and family members. After this a squad fired a salute in honor of each of them.

    We then opened the trap and skeet fields for a shoot, and had lunch in the clubhouse building.

    Several family members expressed their gratitude to the club for honoring these two men in this way.

    A gallery of photos taken during the memorial is available at John and Joe Memorial Shoot

    Please join us at 9:00 AM on Saturday, October 8 for a fun shoot to honor two of our founders. We’ll start by playing the National Anthem and raising the American flag, then an MC will make brief remarks and ask if anyone else would like to speak. Following that we’ll present the plaque mounted on the wall next to the one from the Grand Opening on October 8, 2011, and a squad of MVSS members will fire a salute.

    After that we’ll have the fun shoot. Two rounds – skeet, trap, or one of each. The machines will have flash targets mixed with regular targets, whoever breaks one receives a token.

    The shoot also includes a long bird event. Three shots at an incoming target and whoever breaks all three receives a token.

    Finally, participants get lunch – a green chile cheeseburger, chips, and a drink. We’ll serve until the food runs out.

    All of this for just two tokens. Please join us.
