Shoots Winners

Muzzle loader Shoot May 7

1st Place – Bill lane

2nd Place – Don Johnson

3rd Place – Richard Gorman

It was a nice day for shooting, with plenty of smoke from the old smoke poles. Only one gun with something stuck in the barrel, we know who, but we don’t know how. Only three points between first and third place. Cutting the card and splitting the bullet to break two sporting clays is being done, but shooting the “X” of string has not happened yet! Thanks to all. Bill

 

.22 Cal Rifle Shoot May 28

1st PlaceBill Lane

2nd Place – Steve Cosenze

3rd Place – Don Johnson

It was a great day for shooting. We had a nice group of shooters turn out, and close shooting scores. We had to have a shoot off to decide second and third place, fourth and fifth were also tied. The winning gun was a Savage Bolt Action made in “1936”! Nice to see the old stuff can still “Git-R-Done”. Thanks to all who came out to shoot. Bill

BINGO IS BACK!!!!  

RSC Bingo will again be part of the Raymond Town Fair on July 7, 8, 9, 2006 (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) on the town green.

This is our club’s largest fund raiser having received almost $3000 last year.

The success is largely dependent on club members volunteering to help.

It is a great event to have fun, socialize with members, and, for new members, to get in your volunteer hours.

Festivities start Thursday evening at 5 p.m. when we set up the tent and tables.  Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday afternoon is BINGO time while Sunday evening, starting at 5 p.m., is take down and pack time. 

Volunteers are need for all phases including money & change runners, callers, set up & take down, providing soft drinks.  Work shifts are typically 4 hours and many spend more time having FUN.

Sign-up sheets will be at the clubhouse starting in May or you can call Jean Schwartz at 497-4339 or memnpep@rcn.com

Looking forward to seeing you there and having another successful event. We need more volunteers for Saturday.
