7/1/12 Through God’s Crosshairs

The April – June quarter of 2012 was a great one for FCS. Our attendance was 124 people, which was our second best for this quarter. We blew away what was our average for this quarter (59.00). We had 15 events, which also was our second best for this quarter. We would have had 18 events but the McBride’s Open Sporting Clays Tournament was canceled due to the course being too muddy, the June Student Instructor/Student Sporting Clays Shoot was canceled because the National Shooting Complex could not round up enough instructors, and we moved the Self-chartered Saltwater Fishing Trip to July.

We had nine members renew their memberships, one new member, and 17 first time guests.

We did not conduct any discussions, votes, or polls this quarter.

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

• Sunday, 7/8/12, 12:45 – 3:45 PM – ‘Hotter n Hell’ Sporting Clays Tournament at the Capitol City Trap & Skeet Club (8707 Lindell Lane, Austin, 512-272-4707).
