The
summer season is slowly winding down...Trap finished on 8/18 with some fun
shooting for all. We did a hunt and cover, annie oakley, and numerous
merchandise shoots. Then awards and trophies went out to those present.
Our top adult shooter this year was Vic Roeder and the top youth shooter
was Tyler Hetzel. Next year, we look forward to having a women's
team. Consider coming out next year to join us, even if you don't
know how to shoot trap. We have several people willing to teach.
Don't figure you're team material, no problem...it's not required. We have
league and non-league shooters every week.
Sporting Clays has their last shoot Wednesday, Aug. 26.
IPSC/USPSA, IDPA, and Cowboy Action have shoots through October.
Thank you to all who helped with events this year. Volunteers make this
club function; therefore, we are only as good as the help! There
have been several behind the scenes contributors, too. Central Wisconsin
Gun Collector's Assc. has donated $700 so far this year toward our new
range development. Plans have been designed and word is slowly going out
for fill for the new berms. If you know of someone, please call Mike
@748-4833 or Joe @748-5371. We do not want any asphalt products,
though. The lease for the agricultural part is in effect for 2 more
years.
Fundraisers, like
the Brat Fry at Pick N Save, the
educational basic pistol classes, and IDPA instructional classes help
tremendously, but we need more.

If you have any experience in this area, please let us know. For
those that have donated your money, we are deeply appreciative. We
understand that not everybody has the time or skills to help in that way.
The indoor range will open late October or so. Joe could sure use
some help cleaning out the summer residents. We have siding for the
front wall and could use some help putting up insulation panels and the
siding. Give Joe a call if you can help out in some way.
The outdoor range now has a security system in effect. There just
doesn't seem to be enough reason for some parties to find suitable targets
other than the storage trailers and cowboy props. Please protect
your range privileges by having your membership card with you and asking
others for proof of theirs. If you are not comfortable with that and
the party seems suspicious, get their auto license number and description
and call one of the club officers. Vandalism that is allowed to
continue will eventually cost in other ways, as well. Increased dues has
been a keen issue for 2 years now. Getting a new range, with new
equipment----who wants that damaged or destroyed?
Lastly, we will be having a sight-in for deer season on November 14 and
15. Details will be determined later.
