4/1/13 Through God’s Crosshairs

The January – March quarter of 2013 was a very good one for the club. Our attendance was 112 people, which was our new fifth best for this quarter. We blew away what was our average for this quarter (70.58). We had 19 events, which was our new best for this quarter. We would have had 22 events but we canceled the 1/4/13 – 1/6/13 Winter Dove Retreat (bad weather), a 1/4/13 – 1/6/13 Winter Dove Hunt (bad weather), and a 1/19/13 Self-guided Duck Hunt (none of the hunters could make the hunt).

We had four men join the club, two members renew their memberships, and eleven first time guests! We conducted no votes or polls.

The next quarter promises to be an exciting one for FCS members and guests. We have 18 events planned, including:

• Friday, 4/5/13 through Saturday, 4/6/13 – 24-hour Sporting Clays Shoot at the 74 Ranch near Campbellton.
