Tom Nelson's Summer Shotgun Camp

The summer youth shotgun camp was held and graduated nine. This was a week long instructional and hands on course which introduced the students to the proper way to handle a shotgun on the trap line as well as proper etiquette. Also Tom taught the skills needed to properly shoot a round of trap. Tom is a certified instructor and has had very good success in bringing along his young students.

Thanks to Tom Nelson, Tom Downs, Lee Hutson and Lyle McCredie for their efforts in making this camp a success.

                   Hey Tom, is this how I do it?
