Douglas Co. Wingshooting, 7/29

July 29, 2004

The Douglas Co. BBBS agency hosted a wingshooting clinic at the Cedar Hill Gun Club, with volunteers from the Jayhawk Quail Unlimited Chapter and other volunteers helping with the instruction. It was a wonderful evening and the conditions were perfect for spending time outdoors learning to shoot.

Both matches and waiting Littles participated in the event, and everyone had a great time. For many of the Littles, it was their first opportunity to shoot a shotgun and many of them proved quite capable of busting clays on a consistent basis.

The event peaked the interest of several of the Littles enough that they inquired about the STEP OUTSIDE Scholastic Clay Target Program hosted at Cedar Hill Gun Club. When the QU volunteers saw the interest, they made plans to provide the $$'s for the Littles to participate.

Five Littles who expressed interest in furthering their shooting skills were then provided scholarships to participate in the SCTP program at Cedar Hill.

Thanks to everyone who made the evening a fun time for all, and a BIG THANKS to the Jayhawk Chapter of Quail Unlimited for sponsoring the young shooters in the SCTP!
