The annual .22 Chicken Shoot on May 17 was well attended with 45 shooters and a fair number of spectators. The shooting started at 9:00 am, with Dan Danforth as main shoot organizer and Range Marshall, club range officers and excited shooters on the firing line. The day was a great success as volunteers became acquainted with one another; new shooters gained knowledge of firearms and firearm etiquette in a safe hands-on experience; the club gained positive public interest in the shooting sport; the usual hungry participants enjoyed a great lunch — 64 burgers and hotdogs were consumed, along with carrot salad, pickles, drinks and numerous dessert items.

Thank you to the volunteers, shooters and spectators for your support. Special thank you to Dan Danforth – Range Marshall and shoot organizer, Brad Fuller –  set up, Arnold Criddle, Marvin Paisner, Neil Sorsdahl and Keith Marsh – club range officers, Stephen White- a full day of coaching on the firing line, Richard Green – admission, Glen McKen – cook, Jude Schmitz – dessert, Bob Vliet – set up and trap shoot.

To those who worked all day, as well as paid double for lunch – Thank you for your support !!
