The decision has been made to cancel our youth "Learn to Hunt" event on August 24th due to lack of participant sign up. We have decided to host our end of the training season trap shoot that day for those that can make it. The chapter has decided to cover the cost of any youth that comes out to shoot.

We look forward to seeing those that can make it out.

Please keep an eye out for next years event, we hope to bring it back as it means a lot to our chapter board members. So keep your kids, grandkids, nephews, nieces in mind for next years "Learn to Hunt".

Thanks
