Custer Rod & Gun Club (CR&GC) July 2023 Activities
Exciting news for the archery range, the new targets are up and ready to use at Spotted Eagle. Thanks to the volunteers that helped out with the archery project so far, lots of fun things coming to the club. A big thanks to Gregg Clark at Driven Repair for the time and equipment that he has dontated to help put this together. We want to remind all of you to not shoot broadheads at these new targets it will ruin them and also use stickers not spray paint on them. Also these targets are meant to be used by members only so we strongly encourage people to sign up for a membership before using them. Membership information can be found on the Custer Rod & Gun Club webpage. If you see someone using broadheads ask them to stop immediately or charges of vandalism will be pressed as these targets were not cheap.
