Second Match Monday, July, 7 2008

Cease fire Range goes cold at 5:00PM
Set up for the Pin match
5:30PM match commences
8:02PM Cease fire, match concludes

Come out and give bowling pin shooting a try, it is a "Blast", and you can shoot .22's and up. .22's work surprisingly well though the .45's and .44's leave "No Doubt" when they take the pin off the table.

Please let me know if you are planning on shooting, we can handle a lot of shooters but I would like to know how many tables we need to set.

Spouses, Juniors and Guests are welcome as well, they must be safe shooters, follow instructions, and Juniors (under 21) must be accompanied by the parent/guardian to, at and from the firing line. If you don't have a pistol don't worry, we will have a loaner available.

If you are fair skinned, you may still need Sun Screen. Bring bug repellant, the more deet the better, with the our normal rains the "Critters" may be out in force, it's hard to shoot accurately when the bugs are "buggin" you.

Fees:
Match fee: $5.00
Guest fee: $10.00 + $5.00 match fee.

We may also have a 50/50 by division if anyone is interested.

"Eyes and Ears, the Range is Hot!"

Thanks, Dave Chandler
