New Trap Shooting Program in McComb

SWGC Trap Shooting Event

Hello, my name is Ronnie Adams. I’m a former Marine and enjoy the sport
of shooting.
I have been an associate member of SWGC for the last 7 or 8 years. My
wife, Sheila and I enjoy trap shooting and thought it would be a good idea
to get others interested in the sport.
The club owns two do-all trap throwers. Hopefully we can get together,
shoot some clays and have some fun. If enough interest is shown, maybe
someday we can name our bunch, “Clay busters” and put it on the MS Gun
owner’s forum site.

Weather permitting; the range will be open on Sunday afternoon from 1pm
to 3pm. I plan to be at the range right after lunch to setup the equipment.
We can start having fun shortly thereafter. Emails will be sent to the
membership telling them about the days the trap shoots, will be held, on the Thursday before the
shoot.

Rules: Ear and eye protection HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Cost: $5.00 per single or double round
Guest of members will be allowed
My email address will be included on the Thursday announcement. Be
sure to put subject matter – trap shoot or clay busters.
Hope to see you there.
