I want to thank the 4H kids who came out early and those who stayed late to help open and close the skeet fields for our monthly club skeet shoot. Some of these young men posted good scores. The adult shooters were impressed with the youth turn out and their ability. The handicap helps all shooters no matter what class. I sincerely want to thank all the participants, hope you had fun. See you March 24 for our next shoot.

Our sporting clays venue will start again this coming Saturday, February 16, beginning at 9:00 a.m. Please note that we have changed the start time from 8:00 to 9:00. This venue will continue to be on the 3rd Saturday of the month through October with the exception of August and September. The September sporting clays shoot will be on Sunday, September 29, and the August shoot date is yet to be determined as the NSCA NM Championships will be being held on our normal 3rd Saturday.

After much discussion with skeet shooters it has been determined that we will do our normal for the winter skeet league 400 targets, January thru April, 100 per month minimum can start now and you can shoot as much in advance without penalty but you will be penalized if you don’t get 4 rounds in per month. Adults $20 with at least 1/2 going to support youth skeet shooters. Students $10. Questions call Preston at 586-215-3060

A friendly reminder that this is the time of year we should be extra cautious at the range for the rattlesnakes are on the move. So please be vigilant and avoid the trauma of a snake bite. If you see a snake on the range do not just walk around it and ignore it, but let a range officer know where the snake is.

Just a reminder that our sporting clays shoot this month will be on Sunday, October 21, and not on Saturday. This is due to the BSA Yucca Council fund raising sporting clays shoot on Saturday. We can also always use a little extra help with the safety oversight of inexperienced shooters at the BSA shoot. There are two rotations planned. One from 9:00 – 11:00 and another from 1:00 – 3:00.

Winter skeet league! December thru April. 500 targets; 100 per month.  You can start now to get ahead.  There is no limit to the amount of rounds that can be shot in advance, $20 for adults $10 for students.  Remember at least 1/2 of the adult fee goes for youth practice rounds. Questions call Preston.
