It's always a great day to bust some clays at Kosko Shotgun Sports Complex!
Club News
Congratulations to KDD #1 team for their first place finish, and Lake City Honda team for their second place finish in the winter skeet league!  Spring league is underway.

The new MEC skeet machines have been installed on skeet fields three and five!

Thanks to Joe "Paul Bunyan" Winterrowd, the expansion of our sporting clays course is nearly finished. Joe would love to have some more help removing brush and trees.  More details on that project below.

Kosko needs a volunteer for the second Sunday of each month, for Range Officer duties.  This responsibility may be shared by more than one person.  Kosko relies on volunteers to ensure the continuous operation of your club!  Please contact Tom Moore, or any board member, to volunteer.

Kosko Dust Devils (KDD) has just completed their annual Whole Hog Sausage sale/fundraiser.  Thank you to all who supported our next generation of clay target shooters, and future Kosko members, by buying delicious farm-fresh sausage!

If you see a large group of young adults on our sporting clays course on Sunday afternoons, chances are they are members of the Grace College Shooting Club!  The club is led by Prof. Roger Bingham and Paul Blair.  They average 27 shooters.  Pretty awesome for their inaugural year!

Your board of directors meet at Kosko's clubhouse the first Monday of each month.  The meetings start at 7:00 p.m. and you are always welcome to attend!
Sporting Clays Course Expansion
The Sporting Clays Course expansion reached a fevered pitch during the month of February.  The unseasonably warm weather has pushed the project forward much faster than anticipated and the loop is nearly completed.  The work to complete these upgrades has been accomplished solely by volunteer labor. Club members have put a lot of time and effort into keeping this project moving ahead.  Special thanks to Joe Winterrowd for leading a crew who has surgically removed trees and brush to gain access to the west boundary of our property while keeping as many trees standing as possible.  Tom Moore brought in the heavy machinery to get the large culvert installed with the help of a few other club members.  

The expansion will allow us to set up new stations on the course on our west property boundary and provide our members and guests with additional challenges and interesting target presentations.  

STAY TUNED FOR MORE UPDATES AS THE PROJECT PROGRESSES......

Until then here are a few pictures of the ongoing efforts.
