2009 KRIEGHOFF MASTERS

Gentleman,

I've taken some time to post the 2009 Krieghoff Masters sign-up sheet on the page (mid way down on the right). I'd like to have this in before 1 January 2009 to ensure we get a spot. It's starting to look like we will field a full 5 man squad this year. Last year, they filled all of the 5 man squads then conducted a lottery like drawing for the remaining spots. Long story short, we found out about 2 weeks before the shot that we got picked. So, with regards to registration the sooner the better.

PATTERNING YOUR SHOTGUN...

Gents,

I found this great article from Todd Nelson on patterning your shotgun. It might answer the mail on some of the questions we've been asking ourselves.

New Blood...

After checking out the new Marine Times Corporal Jeremy Scott placed in the top 16 finishers in the Field & Stream Total Outdoorsman Challenge. I recommend we get a hold of this guy to see if he is interested in shooting registered targets.

Toys 4 Tots Shoot...

Good Afternoon All,

I was talking to Steve Campbell the other day and we were discussing a Toys 4 Tots shoot at Cherry Point. Apparently, the club was going to host one and they lost support from the local reserve unit. Does this sound like something we want to pick up the ball and run with ?

Thought I would give this a try, here is a picture of the All Marine Skeet Team from the 2008 Armed Services Skeet Championship.
