Last Month's Events

Fall Turkey Shoot - October 17th

The weather was fantastic for the annual Fall Sporting Clay & Turkey Shoot. Fun was had by all & we had a great turn out. There was a shoot off between Denis McIntrye & Allan Duan.

The HOA winner was Denis McIntrye with a score of 117 out of 120 after two rounds of shooting of with Allan Duan.

After the sporting clay portion, shooters gathered by the Duck Pond for the "Turkey Shoot" event, which consisted of a number of different shooting games. We handed out over 20 turkeys throughout the games.

Congratulations to Denis McIntrye who is pictured here with Josh Day
