From Preston:

We’ve finished another year of our club shooting. We should all be proud of the shooters who participated as they donated at least 50 tokens to our youth shooters 4H and SCTP programs. We will start again in January and plan to end next October. Should any of you have any suggestions or ideas please feel free to talk to me. On the trap side it has been suggested that we make it a 100 target day. If that is to much I do two 50 target competitions each time. To be decided would be final shoot, two 50’s or 100. I believe for final 100 would be best because of trophies. I need an idea how many would shoot 100/ 2 events at monthly shoots. I will be talking with you at range or let range “rangers “ know your thoughts. Tyler was our(youth shooter) skeet champion and Carl was our trap champion. I’ve had lots of help in doing this, and thank you for those who pitched in especially Irene Slugaj our lunch lady Den Mom, and you shooters who helped load houses, and Ron who is keeping an eye on the skeet machines

Sunday October 30 we will probably only have maybe one skeet field available until around 11am because of the skeet club 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

Due to the Lion’s Club Trap Shoot, there will be no open trap fields this  Saturday, October 1, however the skeet fields will be open. Trap and skeet shooting will both be available on Sunday.

The MVSS sporting clays crew would like to have some help setting up the  course for this Saturday’s shoot, and some help tearing it down afterwards.

Either one takes about 2-3 hours. Traps and batteries have to be moved and positioned and the machines filled with targets. Trash has to be picked up, cans have to be put out and emptied, cardboard has to be collected and recycled. We have a system that works pretty well but could always use more help.

If you want to help, please meet us at the sporting clays range at 8:00 AM on Friday for setup, or stay after the shoot on Saturday for teardown.

The 5 Stand field will be open this Saturday, September 10, from 9:00 AM  until noon. Volunteers are welcome for that also.

Paul tests himself every time he leaves home and he tested positive for COVID, class moved to 1st weekend of November same time as you had.
