Thank you to the Liberty Township Sportsmen for hosting us for two nights of shotgunning! We were lucky the storm passed just in time tonight. A great way to end our regular season BB and air rifle. Kids (and parents) learning new skills is always fun to watch!!

We had a fun afternoon shooting .22 long rifles today! A big thank you to the Outdoor Sportsman Club for hosting us at their outdoor range. Special thanks to our volunteers Rea Hartley, Gib Moyer, Bill Peters and Art Grundfast for setting up and helping the kids. We had ammunition thanks to the NRA Foundation grant we were awarded this year. It was nice to shoot at the silhouettes and metal targets instead of paper for a change!
