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

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.

Update December 3: The shotgun range will be closed today, Saturday, December 3, due to inclement weather. We plan to open tomorrow, Sunday, December, 4, and have a soft 5-Stand setup. At the 5-stand venue, we will be giving away hams and tokens for those who break flash targets.

Our 5-Stand venue will be setup on both Saturday, Dec. 3, and Sunday Dec. 4. The Saturday setup will be designed for newcomers to the sport and will be setup straight forward with relatively easy (according to Mark) targets. This will allow those folks who have never shot 5-Stand, or are frustrated with 5-Stand to gain confidence and learn the intricacies of how to setup and where to look for the targets. Advice will be available. This will also allow the highly competent 5-Stand shooters a chance to “easily” break 25 targets. Then, Sunday will be the normal, Mark setup.
