The instructors felt great after getting the following comment from one of the Dads:

Thank you for your time this weekend. Although the rain dampened things a bit, the scouts had a good time. My son (the Troop's Senior Patrol Leader) had shot at summer camps twice before and did not qualify for the merit badge either time. I just got back from travel last night so was unable to participate myself but, upon my return, my son could not stop talking about the great time he had at the shoot fest. Thanks for organizing this, I think with the great reviews we'll have more boys participating next time they get a chance. This reflects well upon the Venture Crew, you guys, and your efforts also.

Shotgun Merit-Badge Class Rained-Out

The Shotgun Merit-Badge class was canceled this week-end due to heavy rains.

We will re-schedule for the near-future and will announce to all.

This class will be on-base at the Trap & Skeet Range -- NOT at Sanner's Lake.

Black-Powder Shoot

Here's a photo from our recent Black-powder Shoot:



The kids (and adults) had a great time and were exposed to a WIDE range of muzzleloading rifles.

Thanks much to Jim & June McWhirt and the SLSC BP Shooters.
