4 Alma Restroom We have come a long way from using Out-Houses at the Alma Range to what we have now.

Soon the old outhouses will be gone and gravel will be put down on the parking lot. A job well done Sporting Clays Last month our match forecast was in the upper s, and after the sun came out it was a wonderful day but had only a hand full of shooters showed up. We set up 6 full stations. After we shot we loaded up and went home. The only time we will not have a match if it is raining or when it is very hot. I can almost guarantee that the weather will be much better in the upcoming months. We will have 6 to 7 or more stations every month Shooters choose to shoot 50 birds for $12 or 100 birds for $. Youth can shoot free for 25 birds or shoot 50 birds for $6. As always new members can shoot 50 birds free. We shoot the 2nd Saturday of each month February to October at the Alma Range. Before the time change we will have a Safety meeting at 10am.and shoot soon afterward. In April will be going back to 9am shooting time Johnny Cole Sporting Clay Director Page 4
