President’s Message

Time again is flying by and soon July will be gone. Things are warm out at the Cedar Hills Gun Club, but we now have a pop machine to help quench that thirst.

We continue to add new members to our list. Please help those who are new to understand all the many disciplines available to enjoy and help them to have a great first experience.

Last Saturday’s (July 9) Sporting Clays Fun Shoot was a great success. We had over 30 shooters from all over Idaho and Wyoming. Joe’s Restaurant, here in Blackfoot, catered the food. We enjoyed pulled pork sandwiches. Many positive comments were made about the shoot and the luncheon and we look forward to seeing those folks back next month.

A group of members have been working tirelessly putting together a 3 gun event coming on July 23rd. A lot of work has been put into this activity to make this event a success. Big Mama’s Burger’s will be providing a great meal. Be sure to at least put it on your calendar to come and observe if not participate. We look forward to additional events in the future.

Let’s also remember the 3rd Saturday of the month when the Black Powder Cartridge shooters have a match and also the Thursday night leagues for Trap, Sporting Clays, and Silhouette shooting. A lot of fun is had by those who participate.

We have a lot going on. We are fortunate to have such a facility to enjoy our second amendment rights. Our Diamond in the Rough gun club is slowly transforming into a great range. The 5 Stand indoor building has finally seen some progress. A quick note- the gate will be open at times for construction suppliers to deliver materials.

Remember that the combination for the indoor range has been changed. Please call Mike Katseanes at (208) 220-2601 for the updated combination. We would hate for anyone to arrive to shoot at the indoor range and not have the right combination.

Please check the calendar often to be familiar with what events are taking place.

Hope to see you at the range!!!

Thank you,
Jed Taylor
President
