The topic of our last meeting was, again, the 2010 South Carolina State Shoot. Rick Buxton has volunteered to measure up the range, inventory our supplies, and compile a list of needed materials.. We have 1x4’s, will probably need some 4x4 for posts and 2x4 for general use.

We will be organizing a scoring committee and calling for registration volunteers. Stay tuned for further developments.
