Ronald McDonald House
May 9th
|
Silver Willow was excited to host our 2nd event for Ronald McDonald House Shoot. This was once again a SOLD out event!
The weather was just perfect for shooting.
McDonald's provided all the participants with Egg McMuffins and pastries. For a snack "Fortis Alberta" provided Smokies for everyone. Lunch was provided by Big T Bar BQ.
Browning Canada and Silver Willow provided all the participants with a hat.
At each station Ronald McDonald staff had fun activities for participants to play to help raise additional funds. We even had Flames Alumni helping to raise funds by showing their
'clay handling" abilities. They would launching the clay off of their hockey sticks for shooters to try and hit!
What a great fundraiser for a very worthy cause!!

This year's annual Ladies Learn to Shoot was a very successful SOLD OUT event. The weather was perfect for shooting! We had a great group of ladies who came out to experience the fun and excitement of blasting some clay's at our annual event. It was a half day affair, starting with breakfast, safety orientation, shooting on the green course & a lovely buffet lunch.
A BIG thank you to all the NSCA instructors who volunteered their time to share their passion for the sport.

Driven Pheasant Shooting
"The History"
I am not sure if a lot of people stop to think how this form of shooting came about. The key to understanding the history of the sport was the development of the shotgun, as driving game over a line of sportsmen armed with muzzle loaders would be almost pointless. The development of the breech loading shotgun and later variants such as the hammer-less ejector brought game shooting into its own.

An Instructional Testimonial
|
|
"I think so many people sign up, spend a bunch of cash then get frustrated that there not hitting clay's. When an hour with an instructor can fix all that.
You have shown me the fundamentals, now I just have to put them into practice and not over think things! I found that your a great instructor and as well as very easy to talk to. I would recommend you to anyone wanting to improve there shooting skills.
I’m a true believer that when somebody does a good job that they should be recognized. Brad, I just wanted to thank you again for the instruction yesterday, I got so much out of your lesson, that when I went back to the 1st 3 stations I ended up shooting 70% of my clay's. Thanks, Tom"
