I'd like to invite everyone out also.  It is a great shoot and we have a lot of fun.  The 200 yard "Bucket Shoot" is well received and a challenge even for the best shooters.

Non-members are encouraged to attend.  No additional fee.  The club is located near the Allegheny County Airport about 12 miles SE of Pittsburgh

Who knows we may even add a special "Volley Shoot" again.  That was great when we did the Scheutzenfest.

I bet it was a good time, and glad to hear all enjoyed it.  You said the target bucket was the size of a bucket.  How big of a bucket?  Just wondering. :)

About a five gallon bucket size. I was all around that thing, a few shots I don't know how I missed it. It was a great time!!
