The skies were overcast, the wind was chilling and the fog was low as we started off the day. Surprisingly, the clouds lifted, the sun came out and the wind settled. The Cottonwood Club had a 73.2 for score today. Andy Uhlorn and Ralph Terhaar had the two 25's with Nate Gentry, Rod Sheets, Darrel Uhlorn and Mitch Jungert shooting 24's. The Juniors had a decent day as well with Mitch Jungert of course shooting a 24 as well as Jake Rowland. Derek Schaeffer, Brandon Poxleitner and Sam Spencer shooting 23's. Thanks to all for a great turnout this year... and don't forget the Gun Club Banquet on April 17th with the meeting starting at 6pm. We are having a Silent Auction again this year...so bring a donation to help support your local gun club.
