Ladies Night Highlights from May 26, 2022

Thanks to all the ladies who came out to what will be known as the first Ladies night of the year. It was a great night of shooting, socializing, enjoying the outdoors. Also, an extra special thank you to our volunteers who are integral to the success of all of our events.

Traditionally a once a year event, but due to the success of the event plans are in the works for another Ladies night this June. Date yet to be determined so stay tuned for more information.

We hope to see you all out at the club again soon.

Ladies Night

Leading Targets at Different Distances

One of the hardest things to wrap your brain around is how much to lead a clay target as it flies through the air. Many times the lead required is much more substantial then what you may think.

Here’s how to shoot a clay target at 20, 40, and 60 yards. This shooting technique is called “sustained lead” where the gun’s distance ahead of the clay is maintained throughout the shot.
