Youth Shooting program report

Our youth shooting program which is in its second year was very successful this past summer.  There were a total of 14 youths who came out and participated in either trap and/or .22 rimfire rifle shoots. There was also the opportunity for them to earn NRA Light Rifle Qualification Patches and the following is the results of their fine shooting.

Luke Allen earned  The " Distinguished Expert" patch, which is the highest award given.

Mason Thompson and Danielle Riegel earned their "Sharpshooter" patch.

Ryan Sandroni, Nick Shaffer, Brad Sandroni, Peter Roloson, Aric Stuck, and Victoria Tidball  all earned their "Marksman" patch.

Charlotte Tidball earned her "Pro-Marksman" patch.



For those who don't already know, youth shooting was held every Wednesday evening starting around 5:30 pm from the end of June to the end of August. Everyone is briefed on firearm safety and then the shooting begins and most of the time ends around sunset.

This years shoots usually ended with water jug shooting and it was a lot of fun. It's a nice change from punching holes in paper.

Just so you know, the NRA Qualification programs are no different for youth than adults and we did have two ladies shoot this year. So it's not limited to youths. It has been my pleasure to run this program and I am looking forward to doing it again next summer. I would also like to thank all the adults who showed up and helped out. Tom Grasek

Kuneytown Blog Basics

Anyone that is a member can (and SHOULD) post to this blog.  It is the club's electronic log and bulletin board.

If you would like to be sure your favorite event, announcement, photo, etc. gets posted to the blog, then you should post it to this blog.

To post to the blog, or to comment on someone else's post,  you need "author" status.  This is simple.  Request author status from KGTidball@yahoo.com.  You will then be sent an invitation.  Accept the invitation and start blogging. Simple.

The reason we don't have a traditional website is because it does not make sense for the club to pay for a web manager, host site url, etc., which would cost thousands of dollars a year. Instead, a club member donated time to establish this web log ("blog" for short), so that everyone can share the burden of keeping members up to date on activities. This alternative is also much cheaper and less labor intensive than paying for paper, ink, postage, etc. for a traditional hard-copy newsletter.

It is not the club Secretary's job to post everything that every club member decides should be posted to the blog.  This is each of  the members' job, and its a great way to stay in touch with your club members. The Club Secretary's job is to maintain the blog site in working order and to moderate posts and comments so that nothing inappropriate appears. The Club Secretary may from time to time be tasked by the Club President to add certain content to the blog, using his or her discretion.
