MCCC Traveling Trap League 2011

June 12^th @ Ottawa Lake      + June 19^th @ Monroe Rod & Gun July 17^th @ Canvasback August 28^th @ Dundee  Banquet will be held September 18^th @ Dundee

            There were 42 people present at the May Membership meeting. Come out and support YOUR club!

            Don’t drive on the rifle range when the ground is saturated from all of the rain we have had. Do not leave the 2 track if you do go down the range. Someone went 20 feet or so off of the 2 track with a 4 wheel drive vehicle and made massive ruts in the grass. This creates problems with the mower when the ground dries out.

            When open trap is going on Sundays and Wednesday nights please do not use the benches back behind the 100 yard line.

            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.

The Varmint Shoot will be held June 4^th 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.

Steak Roast June 11^th

Scott Klostermeier and Scott Wipple will host the June 11^th Steak Roast. Help is always needed. 80 steaks will be purchased for the next dinner. Everyone is invited out to have a good time.
