Student field trip visits whale exhibit Morrow County Gun Club m em bers practice shooting Dressed to kill (clay targets that is), warmly clad Morrow County Gun Club members are braving the January weather for participation in an eight-week series of telephonic shoots. Teaming up with the Walla Walla Gun Club, local members submit their highest scores to the Spokesman-Review newspaper in Spokane. There are about 44 Nor thwest gun clubs participating in this event. ‘‘It’s easy to get hooked on this sport,” said Morrow County Gun Club President Loren Woodside, Lexington. Both he and his wife, Sharon, are active participants. Woodside, along with Vice Presi dent Jay Coil and Secretary Kel- wayne Haguewood, both of Hepp ner, are newly-elected officers. Other board members are Jeff Cutsforth and Dave Campbell. There are 28 members now, many of whom have never done this kind of shooting, Woodside said. But the best thing is that people don't have to feel like they are competing against each other as everyone tries to better his own individual scores, he said. At the shooting range, five people at a time assume shooting stations, rotating after a series of shots. For these inter-club shoots scores from 25 shots are recorded each week. At the conclusion of eight weeks of inter-club shoots, four-man teams are eligible to compete in the Inland Empire Handicap Shoot at Spokane. The highest scorers then will enter a ‘‘Champion of Champions” competition. 7 a cr. M.C.G.G.
