Alabama Ave will be closed for 60 days starting April 6th from Lawmont St to the railroad tracks. Plan your route accordingly.

Lake
We will be restocking the lake this weekend. Until further notice Bass and Catfish will be catch and release only.
The lake pavilion and pistol ranges will be getting new concrete soon. Please be patient during these improvements. More details later.
 
**** Volunteers Needed for the Five Stand & Trap ****
We are planning to open practice trap as soon as possible. We would like to open the Five Stand on a regular basis as well.

We could use people to reload the targets, take money etc. If interested, please contact any Board member or send an email to the Club at [email protected].
