Junior Learn to Shoot
June 2nd
|
This is an annual event sponsored by these kind donors: Federal Ammunition, Alberta Sporting Clays Assoc., Browning, Silver Willow and our awesome instructors who volunteered their time!
We had a great group of 42
Juniors
(both boys and girls)
ranging in ages from 12 - 17 years old
. Many of the youth had never shot a shotgun before. Everyone went home with door prizes, and a certificate.
Each Junior shot about 25 rounds and then enjoyed a BBQ hot dog lunch. The Juniors used a variety of shotguns from 410's, 20 gauge and 12 gauge feather lights.
Thank you to Don Terrio who did the safety talk and helped organize the shooting squads.

Clays for the Cottage
June 20th
|
On June 20th Silver Willow hosted the 3rd Annual event for the Children's Cottage Society of Calgary. This event tested the skills of avid clay shooters and aspiring shooters alike! We had 240 participants on 24 teams. Sporting Clay's is North America's fastest growing sport and supporting children in your community makes it even more worthwhile! The day was rainy & overcast but everyone enjoyed themselves. This was one of the largest events ever hosted at the club. The volunteers, staff and board members worked tirelessly to put this wonderful event together and raise funds for the children in need in Calgary. What a worthy organization!!
A Huge Thank you goes out to our hard working outdoor staff,Marshall's & volunteers.

Federal 400
Well, I just finished the Federal 400 at Silver Willow and as the adrenaline fades, I’m too tired to mow the lawn {smirk} so it seems like a good opportunity to share the journey once more. As a bit of a spoiler, since I type mostly with one hand and two fingers, the other hand is holding a celebratory glass of rum and coke.
I’ve been looking forward to this shoot because Silver Willow is always a great experience both for facilities and for the show they provide. I’ve been working on my technique for… ever, and more so leading up to the shoot. In particular, I’ve been wondering, if I can hit a target, why can’t I hit it every time. If I keep my plan and pre-shot routine the same every time, the pair I’m shooting is the same every time. If I change my plan or my hold point or break point, it becomes an entirely new pair – and consistency suffers.
