October is here and the hunting season is on. I hope you had a chance to shoot a few clay targets before going to the field. If you have not been around you will see many improvements at the club.

Daily shooting has also picked up and we hope it will continue through the month of May before the weather becomes too hot.We have a few projects in the pipeline I would like you to hear about:First, we have a second sporting...
