Trafford Sportsmen will sponsor two children of members to go to the annual summer County League Conservation School the week of July ??st-??th. Contact John Kozubal, 724-744-7344, for more details. This class has been given high praise by its graduates. Take advantage of this member benefit if you have children in the 13-15 age group.

The issue of backstop destruction has prompted a motion to set a ONE ROUND LIMIT when using the outdoor ranges. Others have suggested using a more economical backstop or setting a 2 second TIMED interval between shots to encourage well aimed shooting.
Attend the April 10th Meeting to vote on this motion or suffer the consequences.
