7 Grand Pacific. Evergreen Gun Club. Littlerock, Washington. July 20 27, The weather was good (a little rain mid-week), the shoot attendance was up a considerable amount, and the shoot ran very well. Idaho was represented by over 45 shooters (probably the second or third largest crowd from Idaho to ever attend the Grand Pacific). There was a ton of stuff going on all week Mega-raffles, basket raffles, a beautiful trapshooting quilt raffle to benefit the Idaho PITA (Thanks Kathy), two or three silent auctions, draw score shoot-offs (although don t ask Kent and Liz Harris or Jeff Poseley how those went), visiting the PITA Hall of Fame, small gauge and vintage gun shooting, Buses to the Lucky Eagle Casino, and much more.
