When using snap caps, MAKE SURE you do have a snap cap and not a live shell. 2. You should be outside when placing snap caps in you gun while pointing your gun downrange before pulling the trigger. 3. NO GUN, should be shouldered while in the club house. If you want to get the feel of a gun, you are to step outside to a trap station that is not being used, point it down range and shoulder it there. 4. All guns are to have their action OPEN while walking around and your finger off the trigger, NO MATTER where you are at the club until you are ready to fire it. 5. As ALWAYS, treat every closed gun as if it were loaded. Archery to begin To broaden services, the FSC board has elected to open archery to the membership. Starting on Sunday, August 11, there will be a 1

2 practice area between trap 1 and the pattern board with club supplied cube targets. Please, NO CROSSBOWS. We'll be looking for your feedback to the archery area as to what can keep it going. Hourly fee's will be implemented starting September 15th, just to offset the cost of target replacements. Additional information, including safety rules, will be sent soon by a separate ing. Clubhouse Improvements If you have been by in a while, then you haven't seen the improvement of the northside interior. Even with more work needing to be done the new paneling and drywall has started making the area quite awesome looking. Don Guinta along with Rich Layman, Lou Englesman have work long and hard to make this area of the clubhouse appealing. Bennie Nelson has agreed to do the taping of the drywall and Mike Gaynor is organizing a painting party. If you'd like to help contact either Bennie or Mike and let them know. Once it's all through, make sure to give them all a nice job guys, when you see them.

I think it was firing that 10ga. Being only about 90 lbs., I think it drove me into the ground about 3 or 4 inches. What discipline of clay shooting is your favorite? That's a hard one. Trap is fun, but quite intense, skeet is a good diversion, 5-Stand is fun, but I haven't shot it much, I need to do more of this. Sporting Clay is great because of the social aspect. But I really like them all. Name: Mike Turner When did you start shooting in general? My dad started me when I was 12yr old (1962), with a double barrel 10ga./ cannon from his dad. I believe it was a Colt 1878, but I can't remember that far back. When did you start shooting clay targets? I started shooting when I was 17yrs old, but gave it up for nearly 42 years.
