Banquet will be held September 18th @ Dundee
There were 52 people present at the March Membership meeting. Come out and support YOUR club!
Do not drive down the Rifle/Pistol range if the ground is soft. We have taken down the sign but spring rains will soften the ground quite a bit. Don’t screw up the road by driving on it when wet!
The RED flag has been installed at the gate to the rifle/pistol range. When you go down range to shoot, raise the flag to the top of the pole to show that the range is active. Not everyone is signing the book located at the range gate for the rifle/pistol range. The book needs to be signed when you go down range. The gate is being left open and the flag is being left up when people are done shooting and no one is left down range.
Varmint Shoot April 2nd
The Varmint Shoot will be held April 2nd at 10:00 AM. Sign in from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM. Center fire starts shooting @ 10:00 AM. Contact Tom Gray @ 734-439-1976, Dave Rochon @ 734-461-6090 or Dennis Sisung @ 734-654-9747 for more details.

Dave Rochon’s grandson Gunner Rochon won the next free dinners. Thanks to Jim Vincent, Dave Vincent, James Vincent, John Little, and all of the other helpers that made the March steak roast a success. For new members in the club, a steak roast is not hard to host or to help with and it is an easy way to get your work hours in. The cost of a Steak Dinner is $13.00.
