Buster Day Fun Shoot -

Saturday Sept 19th

This shoot is dedicated to honoring Buster Day, Don's Dad and Josh's Grandpa. Buster, an avid hunter and clay shooter owned the land that Silver Willow is located on.

If you haven't noticed it before, there is a memorial plaque which is located between the green course station 10 and the duck pond.

It was perfect shooting weather for the Buster Day True-Pair, Josh did a great job setting up the course. We had a good turn out and are always happy to see how many shooters come out every year in honor of Buster.
