Dear Parents,

Gun Club News

Bonners Ferry High School Trap Team, “Dukes Claybusters”: I would like to announce that the Claybusters won first place in the Big Sky – I Net competition winter eight-week shoot.

I’m sure all of Boundary County is as proud of our team as we are out here at the club. The Spokesman-Review results will be out in a week or two. The team is still competing in the Camas Prairie Winter Shoot, which is on March 15, then there will be 10 Claybusters shooters with parents. We’ll be heading down for the Camas Prairie Handicap Shoot in Walla Walla, Wash., March 20-22, an 800-target event. Individual and team shooting — 16 yards — handicap — and doubles. Let’s wish them all the Best of Luck.
