I told my wife that so far I am in for a hot dog and a beer, and she wants to know "what is in it for the rest of the family?"

Mid-week bump for this shoot, weather looks good for Saturday (Friday, not so much).

This is really embarrassing, but my wife and daughter (5 years old) will be tagging along for this shoot, anybody from the area have any suggestions as to what they can do to entertain themselves while my boy and I shoot?

Thanks again, and see you there!

I would send them to Bronner's in Frankenmuth.
It's about a half hour/45 minutes away from Lapeer.


Out there doing it best I can.

Yes, Frankenmuth is "little Bavaria". For the daughter it will be as being in Germany!

Or.....

You could direct them to the Outlets at Birchrun.

You would have a loooong, relaxing but expensive day! :-)

Thank you to everyone that attended. Had good weather - Hoofs 10 year old son shot and shot quite well. Glad both of you made it - and I believe his wife and daughter enjoyed the steak dinner. Hoof won the " Duck Towers " after a shoot off. I'm pleased everyone enjoyed it - hope to see you next year - Paul

What a great shoot! Great targets, great people.

My son and I had a great time, there was thankfully something nearby to keep my girls happy. We had a good day shooting, the weather was better than expected, and the dinner was quite good. What more could you ask for....well maybe if it were only a few hundred miles closer. My thanks to Mr. Harm for rolling out the red carpet to my family.

I didn't get a lot of pictures, and the ones I did take were just us, so pardon the bragging. My son loved the duck tower. He broke 10 targets his first time out, and he impressed a lot of the older guys. After running into the club for a pop he told me "like five people told me they heard I got 10 at the duck tower!" I think it is a shame he was the only youth taking advantage of this shoot.


You can see the broken target in this picture over the right hand stake.

CJ really likes this pic he took of me at the pigeon ring.

CJ tried and tried to get a picture of me breaking a target. It was hard to do when I missed so many. Then he finally got me hitting one and it smoked, you can see some black specks where it was.

Here is the "hero shot." I was truly the blind squirrel in the duck boat. I did win the nicest trophy by far!

I'm happy you and your family enjoyed their trip up north. It's so nice to see a family enjoy the shooting sports. Hope to see you next year - Paul
