On Saturday, in addition to regular 5-stand, Mark will be throwing some 3 bird targets which means that you should bring a gun that will hold three shells to play.

  • Winter Skeet League

    The winter skeet league will run from January through April with four rounds per month, two man teams. Teams will be handicapped. If you don’t have a partner we will strive to get you one. The league fee is $20 per shooter except junior shooters fee is $10. You can sign up and start shooting January targets now. Unlimited rounds can be shot in advance, but you must get your four rounds in before the end of each month. To sign up or if you have questions please call Preston at 586-215-3060

  • Turkey Shoot

    This coming Sunday, Dec 18, will be giving away 4 turkeys for all who shoot trap and 4 turkeys for all who shoot skeet. The way it will work is a ticket will be put in a bucket for each round of skeet or trap that you shoot and at the end of the day (noon) four tickets will be drawn out of the skeet bucket and four tickets will be drawn out of the trap bucket and the lucky ticket holders will win a turkey.
