The 4-week spring league ended Saturday, April 4th. The week ending Saturday, April 11th, is the catch-up week to shoot any targets you missed.

Saturday, April 11th, is also the last day of our winter hours. Our summer hours will begin the week of April 12th. The range will only have an attendant from noon - 4:00 PM on Saturdays.

Thank you to all who participated in the leagues this season. Since the attendant hours are changing, we will mail the prize money for the spring league to the winners.

We had the honor of having these students out to the range today from Miss Goodlaxson’s Adventure PE class, Okoboji High School.

We went over gun safety, gun storage, emergency plan, and marksmanship then we hit the range. These students picked up on and demonstrated proper gun handling while working on marksmanship. They had fun but I think the instructors had more fun working with them.

Special thanks to Miss Goodlaxson, Jason & Tony from Petersen Fi****ms Instruction and Dick Downing, manager at the Fostoria Gun Range for the facilities & providing the ammunition.

Would your school like to come to the range? Give us a shout.
