November 2011

Well it looks like fall is finally here...

We are sure most of you are glad to see this cool weather. What a nice break from the triple digits this summer. Even though the shooting season has slowed down, now is the time we see most of members. We don't blame you. It feels great outside, and there's no better way to spend the day than come out to the gun club and blast some targets. We have a few things coming up in the next few weeks so come on out. We hope to see you out soon.


National Wild Turkey Federation Youth Shoot

Saturday, November 12th

Last December we hosted this event and it was a huge success. The weather was horrible and we still had over 100 kids come out to shoot. This event is for kids of all ages. There will be something for everyone to shoot, no matter how old they are. The NWTF also brings a ton prizes for the kids. Last year, each kid left with a prize (not cheap stuff either). There will be instructors on hand to help the children safely shoot as well as break some targets. If the child is already a member of the Jake's Program, the event is totally free. If they are not, it only costs $10 for them to join. We are trying to do more stuff in the future with the NWTF, so we need another great turnout. Please your child (children), neices, nephews, grandchildren or neighbors kids. The more kids involved, the better. If we teach our children how to shoot and safely handle guns, we will have places like Forest City around for a long time. Also, if you are interested in helping, we could always use an extra hand. Again, WE need a lot of kids out here shooting!
 

Quail Fry

November 9th

On Wednesday November 9th we will be having a quail in the kitchen at the gun club. We haven't cooked in a while so we are going to make this a good one. I understand we will have some great sides as well. Dinner will be served at 6:00pm. We would like for you to RSVP for this dinner so we know what to prepare for. The cost is $7/person and you may bring a guest(s). But again, plese RSVP, so we know what number we are looking at. You can RSVp by calling or just simply reply to this email.
 

Christmas Dinner

December 18th

This may be a little early, and there will be more reminders, but we have scheduled the Christmas Dinner this year for December 18th at 6:00pm at Forest City Gun Club. York St. Deli will be handling the dinner again this year. Mac and team always do a great job. YOU WILL NEED TO RSVP FOR THIS EVENT! If you do not RSVP we will not have food for you. If you RSVP by Monday December 12th, you will receive two free drink tickets. Complete cut off for signing up will be Wednesday December 14th. On the other hand, if you RSVP and do not show up or cancel by Friday December 16th, we will send you a bill for $20/person that you RSVP'd for. We have had a lot of people sign up and not show up at the last two events and we want to try and curb this. Thanks for your help and consideration in this manner.
 

Events
 
Currently the scratch tournament is going on and we are down to eight teams and it's going to be a close race. We will keep you posted on the results as they finish up.

Our next league will be a skeet league. We are looking at some dates to get this going. We will try to stay away from the holidays as much as possible. Again for next year, the leagues will be used to determine the club champion. All leagues will consist of 200 targets for this shooting year.  
 
 
Don't forget to RSVP for the two dinners coming up. Now is the perfect time to come out and shoot. If you are struggling with your shooting, sign up for a lesson or join the league to work on your skills. We hope to see out at the club soon!

Thanks
