Target Talk Clubs: Know Your Club’s Limitations
by Clark Hartness "A man's got to know his limitations" – Harry Callahan That’s a great movie line that some of us will remember about over-estimating your capabilities. On the flipside of this, we need to know our limitations so we can test them, yet not be overwhelmed. Gun club management and shoot management are excellent examples where we have to be aware of our limitations. Today, let's focus on some of the physical limitations of our club and planning an event.
