Our annual Youth Shoot was a tremendous success! We will gather around 4:30PM and run the event from 5-7:30PM. Youth will be divided into three groups as before and rotate between three stations - one group shooting trap, one group on the .22 range and the third group eating dinner.
We need volunteers for this event, particularly PF members who are also members of the Oakdale Gun Club. All range officers must be OGC members so if you qualify or have friends who are OGC members, please appeal to them for help. This is a great event, providing an opportunity for youth to do some supervised shooting prior to hunting season. We typically have 30-35 youth participating
