May 2003 Newsletter

The weather is getting warmer these days (if it would just dry out some day), so it's the perfect time to get back into practice with your favorite rifle or pistol. And remember, the range is now open for use on Fridays, so come on out.

There was a family fun shoot held at the range on Saturday, April 12. Turn out was good, and everyone young and old had a wonderful time.

Another .22 rimfire rifle silhouette shoot was held on Sunday, April 13. Only six shooters turned out this time around, but we all still had a good time. Top honors went to Scott Rinebold, with scores of 33 and 35. Other shooters with scores in the 30's included Ron Stryker, Jeff Houck, and Dennis Schult. There will be another shoot on Sunday, May 11. Any further questions contact me at 758-6108 or dts@clarkston.com.

The annual Friends of NRA dinner will be Saturday, May 10. As usual, there will be a live auction, silent auction, raffles, etc. Come out and support the organization that has done so much to support your range. Get tickets from Hal Coder or Don Nelson.
