| 2007 Youth Team |
Not everyone can be a coach...especially when it involves kids. This year the club was very lucky to have Ray "Shadow" McBride and Jason Wallis volunteer to meet the challenge! Both also volunteered to take their personal time to become NRA Certified Instructors by attending a weekend training in Billings this spring. This certification is now being required by the Scholastic Clay Target Program in order for kids to participate at the state shoot and the coaches will have to continue their education yearly to maintain their credentials.
This year`s 10-week league had twenty seven youth participating each Sunday and many parents also joined in to assist. Each week started with a classroom experience and then plenty of actual shooting. To help raise money for the program & the state shoot some great prizes were donated for a raffle and the kids and parents sold tickets raising a total of $2,602!
