Our club recently made a $200.00 donation to the Big Shots Trap Team in Breckenridge (Jon Quast) and the Wahpeton Huskies Trap Team in Wahpeton (Brian Gefre). The donation will also benefit the Clay Target Team at NDSCS as it is to help pay for new equipment being installed at the Head of the Red Gun & Archery Club in Breckenridge which all three teams use. Below the check is being presented to Angie Anderson (R) whose son, Carson Anderson, is a member of the Big Shots Trap Team. Handing her the donation is Becky Lankow (L), Club Secretary.
