Trapshooting Clinic
On Wednesday April 1, 2015 a trapshooting clinic will be held at our club. This clinic will be presented by legendary trap shooter and shotgun dealer Doug Gray. The clinic will include instruction on proper stance, sight picture, and all the other pointers that we forget over the years. So if you are a newer shooter or an old pro who needs to remember the basics, this course may be for you.
The course will include everything from patterning to actual trap shooting.
The class cost is $35.00. Please bring your shotgun, plenty of ammo (at least 5 boxes of shells) and tokens for trap rounds.
In addition, Doug’s wife Susie, an authorized Decot Sport Glasses dealer, will be there if anyone is interested in purchasing quality shooting glasses. Class space is limited, so please sign up by March 22, 2015. Contact Rich Norton with questions or to sign up.

Reclaimed Shot
Mike from ARS called last week to ask if we wanted any more reclaimed shot while he’s still working in El Paso, so I’m putting together another order.
The shot will cost $25 per 25 pound bag and if we order just 25 bags he’ll deliver it to the club for free. That will be on or about March 15th.
If you want to order any, send an email to gardenhire@zianet.com with “Reclaimed Shot” as the subject and tell me how many bags you want at $25. Please include your full name and a phone number. When I know a delivery date I’ll email you back. You will be responsible for reimbursing me and picking up the shot at the trap and skeet range and I’ll take checks or cash. Please don’t call Joe, he’ll just tell you to email me.
