Shoot Results
Ducks Unlimited
Two Man Team Shoot
 June 4th 
   
This shoot is always a crowd favorite as the two shooting partners are working together to hit the clays which is a bit unconventional in sporting clays! Each team shot a total of 150 targets on the blue course and then finished off with a 50 clay "flurry" event on the Duck Pond.The weather was beautiful and we had a record year with 57 teams (114 shooters)! Congratulations to Clint LaRiviere and Shane Livingstone who won the shoot with 139/150.


Delta Waterfowl June 18th

This annual event drew a great crowd to shoot and raise funds for the ducks ! They managed to finish up before a storm came through and everyone had a grand time. Thanks Phil and Tyler for organizing this event.  
 
The winners of this years shoot was Stu Carter and Kevin Cole they tied with a 91 out of 100.  Way to shoot guys !!

The Day and Co. Feature of the Month
 



Left Handed 725 Sporting Over Unders are here!
  
Ported barrels, fiber optic bead, gloss oil finish, checkered walnut, egnraved low-profile steel receiver, mechanical trigger, Invector-DS chokes
This is it. The baseline standard for an industry that craves top performance.  The new Citori 725 is the evolution of John M. Browning's legendary B25 Superposed, now with the modern performance advantage of a Low-Profile receiver. The new 725 receiver is significantly lower than other Citori 12 gauge receivers, yet the 725 shares the renowned durability of generations of Citori over and unders with the same rugged full-width hinge pin and tapered locking bolt design.
Balance, form and a large dose of excellence. With a 725, you get the "one with the gun" feeling you want, with the long lasting durability you expect from a Browning over and under. And the features don't stop there. The 725 showcases an all-new Mechanical Trigger (FireLite) that offers unmatched feel and lighter pull weights than ever before. Inflex Technology has also been added to make shooting more comfortable. Experience the benefits these improvements can do for your shooting with a new Citori 725.

Client Features
Patrick Walsh
Pat with Duchess. Pat serves as a guide and marshall at SW. He designed and built our first 5 stand program and the I Pull controller boxes for the sporting clay course stands. 
  
"Life's kinda funny sometimes: George Squires and his brother Bill were
just out for a drive in the country when they stumbled across S.W. and
decided to try it out. I was working with Geo at the time and he
introduced me to the sport, about 2003. I've been hooked ever since.
I love the sport (though mostly I can't hit a barn from the
inside) In particular, I love the coaching aspect of guiding.
 When I was about 14, I managed to shoot myself through the hand
while repairing an antique pistol. This has given me the healthiest
respect for firearms safety which I try to pass along to new and
perhaps, old shooters.
 I have served a couple of terms on the Executive of ASCA as a
member and treasurer, and a couple on CNSCA as a member. Several years ago, I did a re-write of the "Rules" - folks must not have liked them
much, since they keep getting changed.
Until the legs gave way, I was a dyed in the wool hunter of
birds, and big game, in particular Bighorns."

We love to see our clients out with their best friends. This one was put to work to help carry the shells around the course !
