Chuck Hudspeth was approved as a new member at the July shoot. Be sure to welcome him to the club. Chuck, welcome and keep your powder dry!

The topic of our last meeting was the 2010 South Carolina State Shoot. Yep, it’s that time again. Plaques and prizes (possibility of a Hucks or Rocky knife came up) are being considered; make sure your suggestions and ideas are communicated to the club. We will be scheduling a day for range repairs once the weather cools down. We will be updating the registration forms to be more useful and Rocky is watching the prices of OSB and treated lumber for target stands. We will be organizing a scoring committee and calling for registration volunteers. Stay tuned for further developments.
