We had a good turnout for the May shoot. It was raining a bit while it started, but we still had 24 participants. I would like to thank everyone who helped and a special thanks to the probationary member – you know who you are – that celebrated his last night of freedom on Saturday and still made it out to help Mike in the kitchen. For this shoot we had 3 gift certificates from Schupbach’s in Jackson to give away for the contestants who turned their scores in. The winners were Brandon Fredrick, Mike Woods, and Mikayla Becker. They can pick up their certificates at the next shoot which is June 4th.
There is some confusion between some of our members about the course set-up. We do not do it on Saturdays anymore unless we absolutely have to. It is hard enough for some of our members to get the one day off a month to come to the shoots to help and to make it two days, not going to happen. We are trying to change the course up a little each month to keep it fresh for the participants. We would like to see a little more participation from our members at the shoots. We only had one member shoot at this shoot and that member was me. We are setting up the course for the hunters in our Club. The shots are 20-32 yards. For the hunter class. For those of you who like the more challenging distances we have targets from 20-55 yards, and for the recurve/longbow shooters they are 10- 25 yards. Come on out and see what we have done with the course.
