National Day of the Cowboy

[Black Hills Barb]

About 5 years ago our club began offering a National Day of the Cowboy shooter clinic.  Since we were always at the range setting up for our monthly match, held on the 4th Sunday, we decided to offer a shooter clinic in observance of the National Day of the Cowboy on Saturday.  We have several interested folks signed up for today's event.  We supply everything, even a light lunch.  We'll review the shooter handbook and give everyone their own copy.  Attendees will be able to handle our firearms but will be offered 22s for live fire.  Those wishing to shoot will be able to take aim and shoot scenario using 22s at the end of the 4 hour clinic.  This is a free event.

 

UPDATE!  We are home from an exhausting and VERY successful day.  We had a great turnout for the clinic...our best yet!  It all truly started in May with some FB notices on the pages of towns near our range, informing every one of our upcoming state match.  That turned into asking a couple of shooters that were not shooting our state match, but wanted something to do, if they would be a "welcome committee" to the foot traffic.  They handed out SASS swag and a brochure listing dates of monthly matches and info on the National Day of the Cowboy CAS clinic.  First of all, we had the most foot traffic ever!  That then turned into a dozen people coming to our cowboy clinic today.  The interest was avid.  The attendees were GREAT!  Our instructors had a great time, too. They also gave nothing but positive feedback on our guests.  It was obvious that many had already been checking out SASS and perusing the handbook.  
Everyone had fun.  It looks like our posse has some growth coming our way too.  We had one idea, then another, and another.  Each one was a good idea in its own right.  Now we've rolled them together and feel that we have come up with a true winner.  What a great shot in the arm!
