The ATA shoot held on April 27th went well! Over 11,000 targets were thrown that day. Many thanks to the volunteers that helped coordinate this event and all those that showed up that day to help. Without them, this event would not have happened.
The Club has been struggling with continued target quality and breakage issues with the White Flyer Blackout targets. In order to continue providing quality targets to our members, guests and for registered shooting events, we need to resolve this issue. Ed Wagner has been researching other target brands. It was decided to purchase a shipment of birds from Eurotarget. The shipment will be sent from Seattle, so there will also be considerable savings in shipping fees. The new shipment should arrive sometime in July.
OPPORTUNITIES TO VOLUNTEER:
-The North Idaho Builder Contractors Association shoot is Thursday, May 29th. Sixty to eighty shooters are expected. Volunteers/RSO's are needed!
-Anyone willing to help move cases of birds into the skeet and trap houses would be appreciated.
-Help to install the required RPV valve mandated by Hayden Lake Irrigation due before 6-30-25.
-There are many small tasks that need to be done regarding maintenance and repair, organization, cleaning, weeding, etc. If you have a few hours to donate or even a full day, contact Roger and he can set you up with a task.
If you're interesed in any of these opportunities, or have other ways you'd like to help, contact the Club.
