Winter Skeet League?
From Preston —
I’m sending this information to ascertain if there is enough interest in having a winter skeet league. This would be open to members and nonmembers. We would start in January and finish in March. League would shoot on Thursday evenings starting at 5, some shooting would be under the lights, 50 targets each night 2 nights per month. 2 shooters per team, teams with be handicapped, individual shooters will be classed with no handicap. You are allowed to pick a partner or league management will strive to get you one. We will designate which Thursday nights are league nights. If you are concerned about not being able to shoot all Thursday league nights (vacation???) let league manager know and arrangements can be made. Upon management approval we would ask that your targets be shot prior. All league rounds must be on score sheets. Dress warm don’t cry it’s only 50 targets. I’m open for suggestions, maybe a different night than Thursday’s? Please see me at range or call as I need participation interest. Preston 586-215-3060

Installing benches at the skeet and trap range this Saturday 2023-11-18
It’s time to get the new benches installed at the trap and skeet range. When we’re finished, there will be two new benches on each of the four skeet fields and four trap fields.
We’re going to start this Saturday, November 18, at 9:00 AM. The benches must be assembled, positions located and marked, holes dug, and Sakrete poured. We need everyone who is willing and able to help to bring shovels, picks, digging bars, and gloves to the range on Saturday. The more help we have, the sooner we’ll finish.
Recreational shooting shouldn’t be affected, but installing the benches will take priority.
Please show your support for your club by helping us on Saturday.
