Block Shoots

Block Shoot Committee Chairs - Don Metzger 243-6645 & Terry Starner 486-4173

Block shoots are a friendly competition where you bring your own shotgun and shoot a single shell at a 4" square card with an "X" running from corner to corner. Those with pellets closest to the center of the "X" win prizes.

While you wait your turn to shoot tickets are sold and prizes are awarded by spinning a numbered wheel. Hunting and fishing stories (lies) are shared and food is available for all to enjoy. An all around good time in a family atmosphere.

We are always looking for a few volunteers to help out during the block shoots. Just ask someone working where you can help out.

For further information contact Terry Starner (486-4173) or Don Metzger (243-6645).
