Vintage Gunners:
Just a reminder that 29 July is the chapter Steak shoot at Vernon National – starting at 9:00 with coffee and pastries. We will have 100 birds on the sporting clays course for the main event and break for lunch for the steak roast. The fee is $70.00 for the event. Ron and Darcy have said they are donating a couple of flats of shotshells and some rounds of targets on the course. We will have shotshells from RST that will be raffled off and 2 classy shooting vests from the famous clothing designer Vinny of Olechnowicz.
Please give a call or send me an email so we have a count. If your bring a guest please include that information. ** I need numbers by 27 July.
After lunch we can go back out and shoot the course again or shoot any of the games Ron has set up for us for an additional fee. Darcey has said that the wobble trap will be set up next to the pond and that Ron will have a long bird game set up.
For those of you that could not attend last year, this is an event you don’t want to miss. The course is fully automated and the food is fantastic. Feel free to bring any friends that are interested in learning about our chapter and organization. Ron and Darcey are generous hosts and they keep on improving the facilities so your sure to join us and enjoy the clubhouse and grounds at Vernon National.
