One of SWGC’s former Juniors Chris Hudock has been selected to represent the United States on the National Junior Team at the World Championships in Munich, Germany 1-7 August. The US Pistol Coach, Sergey Luzov, has informed us the total cost for Chris will be approximately $4500. Unfortunately USA Shooting doesn't have funds to pay the expenses for the Junior Pistol Team.

Chris won a gold, three silvers and one bronze medal in the Junior Category at the USA Shooting National Championships recently to earn berths on all five Junior Teams ( Int’l. Rapid Fire, Free Pistol. Air Pistol, Sport Pistol and Standard Pistol). He finished second individually at the NRA Inercegiate Pistol Championships and was selected for all three All American Teams (Air Pistol, Free Pistol and Standard Pistol ). He was NRA all American Junior Champion in Free Pistol and Standard Pistol in the Open International Sectional fired in March, at The Citadel. He went to The Citadel with no pistol competition experience. However, he had gained a lot of top level experience with rifle thru SWGC’s Rifle Programs, which has helped him to excel quickly in pistol. This is his second year of shooting pistol in competition. He has earned this opportunity to compete in Munich.

SWGC is helping to defray some of Chris’s travel expenses so he can compete, if you would like to help please send your contribution made out to SWGC , marked "Chris Hudock" on the memo line no later than Monday July 26th to:

Women On Target Skeet Clinic - The predicted wet weather held off May 22nd long enough for three Women On Target alumnae to enjoy an information-filled Skeet Clinic scheduled for two hours but stretching to over 2-1/2. Why limit fun!

Instructed by NSSA Level 2 Instructor Bill Fleeman with assistance from NSSA Level 1 Instructor Edie Fleeman, Jennifer, Dusty and Lisa received a strong foundation in the sport of skeet. Building on what they had learned at the WOT event at Sir Walter on April 25th, the ladies reviewed safety and gun fit, and learned the parts of the skeet field before learning about the different leads from certain stations.

All progressed rapidly and are looking forward to shooting again!

Women On Target - The Women on Target event was held April 25, 2010. Details are in the July club newsletter available in the Members Area.
