Eye Ware
Shooting glasses enhance your shooting ability as well as providing protection from broken clays. When choosing shooting glasses, opt for yellow or orange lenses to enhance the clay pigeons in low light and to block out glare. Amber lenses are generally good for enhancing your perception, and purple/vermilion increases visibility.
The color of the pigeons comes alive with the proper shade of lenses.

Lorne Howes Cancer Shoot
April 7th
|
|
|
Randy Howes with this year's winner Bob Ferguson with a HOA of
95 out of 100. |
Every year in April for 28 years, Silver Willow & the friends and family of Lorne Howes co-host the Annual Cancer Fundraiser Shoot. This fun shoot is in honour of Lorne Howes, who was a life long friend of Don Day and family.
Lorne fought a courageous fight with
Leukaemia
but lost the battle and passed away at the young age of 30. Each year, Lorne's brother Randy and his parents join us for the event.
We would like to thank all the shooters who participated this year and braved the cold Alberta "spring" weather. $40.00 of each registration fee was donated to the Cancer Society in Lorne's name. We also received $2290.00 in donations from our competitors. After lunch, door prizes (which were donated by local businesses) were presented to all the shooters. It is our local businesses and those who so generously donate that make the Lorne Howes Cancer shoot such a successful and fun event!!
Pump Gun Shoot
April 21st

|
|
"The Pump Gunners " Ryan Bannerholt (Left) Stu Carter (Center) Jason DeJong (Right) |
The Pump Gun Shoot is a fun event that is limited to pump-action shotguns.
The intention of this shoot is to provide the participants an opportunity to dust off one of their less-frequently used, and sometimes family treasured, shotguns and have some fun with it.
Congratulations to Ryan, Stu and Jason. They had a 3 way tie for winner with a HOA of 118 out of 140
