about one of the disciplines and are interested, then call the Director and /

afraid to ask questions. Many of the
disciplines have loaner equipment.

SHOTGUN BUNKER
TRAP
The Bunker Trap is operational and
is generally open on Sunday’s. It costs
$5 for GGC members and 4H members and $6 for non-members. Sometime in the near future we will pour a
concrete slab and put a cover over it which should finish the facility.
LOCAL BUSINESSES
AAMI Sports has
donated his services for handling of our guns for the Friends of the NRA Dinner
and AJC Sports in Clute donated 20 gauge shotgun shells for the Youth Field
Day. Academy has also been a
supporter. Pleas support our local
businesses that help us.
FRIENDS OF THE NRA
The Friends of the
NRA banquet was held last month and made about $10,000 that will be used to
promote shooting sports. Half of this
stays in the coastal regions of Texas
and the remainder goes to national programs.
None of this money is used for politics.
4H On Target have received grants of $34,000
during the past two years for the Shotgun Bunker Trap equipment & facility
development and for guns & equipment for the 4H Rifle & Pistol program. Members are encouraged to take advantage of
these programs by enrolling their kids in the 4H program of shooting sports. Call one of the 4H advisors for more
information. See the front page for
phone numbers.
