Get Involved In Your Gun Club You go to the club, shoot a little, visit with some of your shooting companions and have a pretty good time. The club house is usually comfortable, depending on the season. There are tables and chairs where you can settle in for a little R&R. The restrooms are pretty clean, too. The green areas are normally mowed, the machines are usually throwing good targets, and it's a generally nice place to shoot. The reason these conditions exist is that the club has a Board of Directors, a manager, and members who volunteer their time to keep the … [Read more...]

I was recently told about one of these that went up to a teenager at a registered skeet shoot and told this teenager that he could help him improve his game.

Ask the Instructor: Basic Fit
