There are 3 seasons in Ely..last winter, this winter, next winter. It has been cold and windy. today looks
like it might be a reprieve. Maybe we'll even get to ride a horse.
SVR had a (cold, brrr) shoot in March, and a good shoot April 25. I gave you the results as below, but, here
they are again, Overall winner was Deadwood Dick, with utah Flash just 4/100ths of a second behind for
second. Wicked Lil had the only clean round in the second stage. we'll be shooting the 4th Saturday of
each month at 10:00 a.m. at the county shooting range. We got a grant from the National Rifle Assoc.
and have bought new targets which will be here in a couple months. We bought timers, and a loaner set of
rifle (Henry 45 long colt), shotgun, replica 1897 winchester, and two pistols, Taurus Gauchos. The loaners
are for new people wanting to try shooting who haven't gotten their own guns yet. Many thanks to the
NRA their generosity and support of our group.

The White Pine Friends of the National Rifle Association donated $5,770 to the Steptoe Valley Raiders, a local cowboy shooting society. The Friends of NRA, which is a non-political organization that supports many programs of the NRA, has raised funds and obtained grants to support gun safety and shooting sports programs of 4-H, Boy Scouts and other local groups. White Pine Friends of the NRA also donated $7,700 to the White Pine County 4-H Shooting Sports program. From left are Mel Anderson, Ray Mix, Carol Love, Steptoe Valley Raiders President Tom Love, Friends of NRA Committee Chairman Clyde Drake (presenting the check to Tom Love), Pete Mangum and Jesse Murdock.

White Pine County "Friends of NRA" (National Rifle Association) will be hosting their annual fundraiser Saturday, June 14, at the Bristlecone Convention Center in Ely, Nevada, starting at 6 p.m. Dinner is $40.00 per person. Tickets will be on sale for many prizes, including rifles and guns. For information call Clyde Drake, chairman, 775-289-2653.

The May shoot saw a new winner. Utah Red (aka Adam Crowther) won with ( alittle luck)
just a 4/100 ege over Deadwood Dick, who, unfortunately, had a little gun "issue!" But in June
Deadwood returned to his winning ways and won first. Cheyenne Kid and Wicked Lil went
to Chatsworth, California, to pick up the clubs new targets, purchased with grant money
from the Friends of NRA (National Rifle Association). The "bird thrower," along with three
other double shotgun targets are a challenge and the most looked forward to to shoot.

Hi Steptoe Valley Raiders! All our targets are here. Cheyenne Kid and Wicked Lil went

to Chatsworth, Calif. June 26 and picked them up. It would have been $800.00 in shipping, but picking them up was less than $300.00 in fuel (mainly because we got to supplement with bio-diesel at half the price of diesel at the pump). (Also, thanks again to our Territorial Governor, Smokey, for his donation toward gas.) We haven't heard anything from him to confirm the clinic he was going to do on the Range Officer class. He could be quite busy assisting with the fires in California!)

The bird thrower is really cute. We tried it out last weekend. That makes 4 double shotgun targets.

Deadwood Dick (Ray Mix) has graciously donated 1st and 2nd place trophies for Men's Division and Women's Division for the July 26th shoot. We need some lady shooters out there!! Are you gonna let ole Wicked Lil just walk away with the trophies?? Come on out!!

It will be a busy weekend. Lots of activities. The Senior Game will be going on, also. Their shoot will be at the range also, as

last year. Us "older" folks got to compete with them and Cheyenne Kid and Wicked Lil won their divisions there. So if you're "old enough" to play, stay.

Good Shooting, Wicked Lil
