We had the Robo turkeys, Pumpkins, leaves and a scoring target to shoot at. The first three places all won frozen turkeys for prizes ( no bullet holes ) Paul won by more than double anyone else’s score ( I think he was reloading half pound twelve gage shells ) just kidding, but he was shooting through blood shot eyes. Happy Anniversary Paul And Val! And Frank Knowles won third place after having a shoot off with me. ( Mark it on your calendar folks ) I want to thank everyone who helped out at the range all year with the shoots, thanks Richard, thanks to new member Curt Gracie for making up some new shooting boards, and thanks to Nick and Fred, the supervisor Ernie, and Bob Hartford for work all year at the range and the sporting clay field. It’s looking great! Good luck hunting and be safe out there. Hope to see you all in the spring.
