doing good. Tuscaloosa is having an ASA Qualifier this weekend. Next weekend Chelsea is having a

part of BHA. Trail Shoot went well with a good turnout. I’m receiving multiple calls and messages
inquiring about shoots, some even coming from out of Georgia and Mississippi.
• WCO – Hosted Trail Shote and had a good turnout. 2nd shoot had lower numbers but still good.
The shoot scheduled for May 18-19 has been changed to June 8-9 due to the S3DA regional

one more shoot scheduled for June 22.
• Crenshaw – March 2 shoot had the biggest turnout of shooters so far for Crenshaw with 50
shooters. Cindy has incorporated Animal Bingo for the kids or non-shooters who are with
shooters on the range. The younger kids really enjoyed this. The next shoot is this Saturday.
Crenshaw will also be hosting the SZ Championship.
• Panhandle – Both Shoots that Panhandle has hosted have had a good turnout. They did try to
host a High Stakes shoot on the Sunday of the Trail shoot but didn’t get too much of a turnout.
They will be hosting the State Championship and are working on adding another range to hopefully
utilize for the championship. The Banquet will be held at the same location as last year. The
cost of the banquet tickets will be $25.00 per person due to the increased cost of catering. They
are also currently selling chances on a fun raffle for a Kimber 1811 ACP that will be drawn for at
