Oopppss! The weather just wouldn’t cooperate. In spite of my numerous calls to AL Gore to deliver some of that “Global Warming” in a timely manner to Ben Avery Shooten’ Facility. Cold, Damp and then Wind just didn’t add up to an enjoyable outdoor experience. So, unfortunately the match for December was canceled. We did have a few minutes of practice and waited awhile in the fond hope that Al would deliver some warmth and calm. No joy. We’ll try again in January on the 13th.  

    On Friday the 18th. And Saturday the 19th. of January there will be a Fish & Game Commission meeting at 5000 W. Carefree Highway at the new Headquarters Building. This meeting will cover several items of interest to shooters, particularly at Ben Avery Shooting Facility. If you are able to attend these meetings, please let Shelley know that you are going and take a sharp pencil and yellow pad with you.
