MARYLAND STATE SPORTSMEN’S ASSOCIATION, INC.

MARYLAND STATE HOME GROUNDS SHOOT

APRIL 3, 2010

            The Maryland State Sportsmen’s Association held a spring shoot at its home grounds in Thurmont on Saturday, April 3, 2010.  The shoot was managed by the officers of the Association and was worked by a large base of volunteer help from many of the gun clubs in Maryland.  The profits from this shoot will be donated toward further improvement of our home grounds.  Other shoots sponsored by MSSA will include the State Shoot held on June 23 through June 27 at Millington, a summer shoot on August 21 and 22 at our home grounds, and the Fall Handicap on September 4 and 5 at Millington.

            The weather for the shoot was gorgeous.  No one could have asked for better.  The turnout of shooters was fantastic.  The officers wished that they could have anticipated the huge numbers of shooters so that more banks could have been used.
