Glen Mcken planned a firewood cutting bee

for Sunday, June 22nd. Five members cut 2/3rd cord in short order.

It was great to have the wood pile started

for club house stove use this winter

Saturday – 9:00 am – 12:00 pm $7:00 box of shells $65.00 – per flat (10 boxes of shells) Winchester (12 – 20 ga.) round of trap -$4:00

We have received three club trophies that were originally handed out to competition winners; two for center fire hunting rifles and one for black powder rifles.

The Austin Moorcroft Trophy – Winner of .284 and larger caliber rifle, offhand and bench rest.

Women’s Trophy – Ladie’s winner of the Ethical Hunter Competition.

Black Powder Match – Hunting rifle. Details of competition unknown, but probably crossed sticks, not off of the bench.

There were several other trophies. A youth trophy and a .270 and smaller cal. (Wade trophy) were handed out.

We have video to look through that may give clues to other event awards.

These trophies should be shot for again,imo. How do you feel, as club members?

The new trap machine is installed and working.

The next project is to arrange shooting times.

Eight or more shooters per shoot would work well.

Thursday afternoons (5:00 PM on ) are for the ladies.

Tuesdays are busy, but most any other day or evening could work.

Email – rgvliet@telus.net or phone (250) 357-9309 to help plan a schedule.

The charge could be $4.00 per round. Boxes of shells (12 ga.-20 ga.)$7.00.

Suggestions welcome.

Great times for trap shooting are here.

Talk soon, Bob V.

Hopefully tomorrow will see the trap machine given its first test. We may be able to shoot by the afternoon. Brad Fuller, Darren Marsh and Steven White volunteered to clean up the trap house, move the clays to the c-can and install the Pat-Trap.

Thanks guys,

Bob V.

Our club has received the new trap machine, made by Pat-Trap . It has all the up to date features. Dependable and top of the line, according to accounts of other clubs including Silver City.
We will be installing it this next week and can start shooting as soon as it is operational.
If you would like to help, bring your skills, appreciated. Please contact;
