As I am writing this article, it is 60 degrees in Southern Indiana. I sure am looking forward to spring and shooting.
I would like to congratulate the Indiana shooters who won trophies at the Dixie Grand: John Roussel, Michael Cornelius, Steve Auberry, Brandon Sullivan, V. Tank Lunsford, Robert Smith III, John Schnarr, Estel Moore, Jack Luck, Charles Graham, and Cody Sullivan.
The AIM program will be shot on Tuesday, July 6th this year. This is the first day of the State Shoot. The coaches of the AIM shooters will need to get their teams pre-registered and pre-squadded. For any information about the AIM program you can contact the Indiana AIM director. Marvin Lester. His email address is mle9090002@aol.com.
For anyone who wants to shoot a large number of targets in a short period of time, there are several marathons offered by our gun clubs in Indiana. Marathons will not only allow you to get your target requirements, but also help get rid of the rust after not shooting all winter.
Plans are already being made for another great Indiana State Shoot. I hope that our State Shoot will be part of your plans for this coming year.
