Who won?
 

Who won the young shooters picture contest?

They all did!! We had a complimentary membership drive and membership was paid for all contestants. They are now proud members of the PGCA!!!

But that's not the end of the 'youth initiative' of the PGCA. I look forward to future youth programs and sponsorships. I'll do my part to keep it going even more strongly as it gains momentum.

True enough ;). As well, when I return home, Mary and I will be discussing what the next steps will be in the youth program. Mary has some brilliant ideas as well - so we'll post up what the next steps are....

My best to all - and thanks to all who have participated so far...!

PGCA paid qualifying rounds for juniors at the L.C.Smith versus Parker Shoot at the Southern Side by Side might be a good gesture. It may cause some juniors to shoot who otherwise would not. Maybe we could throw in a free practice round too. If it were mentioned in the final program, maybe a member or two would bring their kids to the Southern who normally would not. Membership should not be required if the parent is a member.

Good suggestions Bill.

I think some more suggestions from the membership would really help to get this youth initiative off to a very good start. The BOD and staff are coming up with good ideas but can't think of everything.

Our Maryland State Skeet Association offers free five gun junior entry to our annual state NSSA shoot. It is underadvertised, but a good idea anyhow.
