Way back long ago, in a place not so far away a friend (Jim) dragged me away from the skeet and trap fields. He said, “Come help on Saturday, and you can shoot for free on Sunday”. In those days, our sporting clays range was a small group of volunteers with a shared passion for recreating the fun of wing shooting. Back then, we didn’t have automatic machines. Every thrower was a Lincoln 3/4-cock, hand-set machine. Most stations offered quartering presentations, usually true pairs.

 

We sure have come a long way since then! Today we have radio-controlled machines, multiple machines per station, and a wide variety of presentations all made possible without the need for a person to throw the bird. It has been truly fun to watch the sport evolve over the years. In three decades, it has come a long way.

 

While technology has opened many new opportunities in the field, we’ve always done our very best to remain a family oriented place, a place where people feel warm, welcome, and at home.

 

It has been our pleasure to serve the community over the past year at the Bone Valley Range. We are truly grateful for the opportunity they gave us to use their land during this time. Unfortunately, our time has come to a close.

 

This does not mean we are done. We’ll continue to keep our eyes and ears open for future opportunities and we look forward to what lies ahead.

 

Yours Truly,

David
