President’s Message
by Bill Shank
2020 has been a trying year for the country. The
shooting season has been a challenge. Most shooting

practicing by using controls to provide spacing and control
mingling.
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year and is looking forward to a better 2021.
