So a great season, thanks to all who contributed by working . Jeff Sass through the efforts of his wife provided us with some fine hot chili that sure was welcome today. Thanks Mrs Sass.

Best of luck to everyone and may your hunt be safe and successful.
Safety and following the laws are first and foremost. Secondly have fun and remember they are just kids, don't turn it into work for them. If they are happy let them shoot it.
Stay blessed everyone and enjoy these three days and make some memories
First and foremost, thanks to the 26 shooters, some from close 4 hours away, who turned out today despite a tough forecast. But, no rain, some sun, and plenty of wind to make it not for the faint hearted. Secondly, I asked the goup if they wanted to add a 300 yard shoot the third Sunday of this month, I believe every hand went up. On a roll, I asked who would help next year, once again I think every hand went up. What a great group we have assembled this season.A heartfelt thanks to all of you. Frank Carrier volunteered to run the line today and Dave Shaw ran targets. Thanks to Jeremiah Keffe for filling in as need and for collevting my flags. Our warm weather golf cart responded to some prodding from Tom Anderson start in spite of the temperature in the morning in the 40s. Tom brought is 12 year old son Nolan who shoot like an adult, I hope he becomes a regular. We need another golf cart driver Nolan. Ok enough, now the results.
