Please dress according to the weather on Saturday, as you will spend much of the time outdoors. You will be walking through grassy (potentially muddy) areas so wear appropriate shoes. During warm months, it is recommended that you spray your ankles and waist with a strong insect repellant (Deep Woods OFF) to prevent chigger bites.
Please do not park next to the shotgun fields so that club members can still have access.
Soft drink machines are provided in the clubhouse for 50 cents
per can. There will be a lunch break on Saturday but food is NOT available
on site, so plan accordingly.
DO NOT WEAR FULL CAMOUFLAGE CLOTHING OR BRING FIREARMS
AND/OR AMMUNITION TO CLASS.
