The finances never look good on paper but they just can't look completely crazy. We look under every rock, turn over every stone and find the most creative ways to save money. It isn't a permanent solution but now our rifle athletes can comfortably enter and exit the building. Shout out to Boone Electric Community Trust a unnamed private donor and James Hall for his creativity in coming up with this temporary solution. If you zoom in you can peak at how we are coming along on the inside.

For the Love of the Sport
The Missouri 4H athletes worked all day in exchange for training time with US Olympian, James Hall. Look at how great the range is looking.

The things we do for love. Love of Sport. Gregg Rice drove 20 hours in the in the last 30 hours to get the Target frames for the Missouri Marksmanship Education Center. Shout out to the CMP for helping us get up and running with both smallbore and air rifle targets. Here is the video of the sights and most importantly the sounds that accompanied him all the way home. Who needs a radio! ðŸĪŠðŸ˜
