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: Morris Cornelius, Brandon Sullivan, V. Tank Lunsford, Devon Harris, Carl Simkins, Scott Norris, Bill Tempest, Loren Dixon, Debbie Atwood, John Youngblood, and Monte Morrison.
The AIM program will be shot on Tuesday, July 8th 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, Keith Weller. His email address is keithweller@aetnaplywood.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.
