WIRELESS FOUR TRAP VOICE RELEASE CONTROLLER (MODEL TX-4S/VR) : is a voice release transmitter for up to four traps.
The TX-4S/VR comes with a lapel microphone. Using EZPull’s proprietary digital signal processing, the TX-4S/VR detects voice and gunshots to automate target release. TX-8/VR features Repeat Practice Target “locking” so target(s) are repeatedly released on each “pull” without pressing any buttons. When the microphone is removed, the unit operates in manual mode. Model TX-4S/VR_Pro for Target Manager card system, is compatible with EZPull’s “Voice Card” that enables a solo shooter to shoot on voice and reports on any station(as above) at the club.

Hard & Soft Gun Case Sale
ENJOY
15% OFF
All Hard & Soft Gun Cases On sale for the June!
A gun case not only makes it easier to transport your gun, but it protects it, as well. Gun cases generally fall into one of two categories:
hard cases and soft cases.
Hard Gun Cases
Hard gun cases offer more protection than soft cases. Typically made from plastic or aluminum, the hard exterior protects your gun from the elements and any other outside forces. The interior is lined with foam to protect the gun from impact. It also helps keep the gun safe from shifting around in the case. When you’re looking at the interior foam, the thicker the better. Some cases will come with model-specific foam for the perfect fit. If you’re flying with your firearms, you will need a TSA-approved hard case.

 Soft gun cases are lightweight and easy to carry on your hunting trip. Waterfowl hunters will often use soft cases that are waterproof and  designed to float . Soft cases can even serve dual purpose as a
cushion when the gun isn’t inside.
Choose  Day & Co.

BEHIND THE SCENES AT A SHOOTING EVENT

AUTHOR: LUTHER CUTTS, HEAD INSTRUCTOR (NSCA LEVEL 3),

COMPETITOR: 
Most of us roll in to the shoot grounds, visit with our friends, have fun shooting the course, enjoy a meal and some more visiting and then head for home. Unless you have been helping with the shoot, you are likely not aware of the amount of effort required to make the event a success. It is my hope that when you have finished reading this post, you will have an appreciation for the work that goes into making your shooting experience the best it can be. 

BEFORE THE EVENT: 
Long before the first shooter arrives, the club hosting the shoot has spent considerable time planning out the shoot calendar for the year. The larger clubs have full calendars, and they frequently have most of their dates set up in October for the following year.

Welcome New Employee

Jack has actually been with us on a part time basis since last summer, however we never officially welcomed him as part of the team! We are happy to have him working with George outside. Jack is just finishing off grade 10 this year. What Jack likes best about Silver Willow is being outside and the variety of things he gets to do, and he likes working with his brother George.
On Jack's bucket list he wants to win a golf tournament this summer and to travel with friends in the future.
