Arrowhead Gun Club Receives Grant from Friends of NRA

VICTORIA – Arrowhead strives to work closely with the youth from clubs and organizations around the state.  The Friends of NRA recognized their efforts and awarded them with a grant to purchase new MEC Clay Target machines.  

The new MEC machines for the 5-Stand have arrived, and they are ready to install.  The installation will begin immediately after the Virginia State Skeet shoot ends which Arrowhead is hosting October 8 – 11. This has been an on-going project for many months, and it could not have been completed without the assistance of numerous volunteers. 

This new shooting game at Arrowhead will be a blast for the youth as well as adults.  The 4-H teams from surrounding counties will be able to better prepare for sporting clay events as well as opening the door for Arrowhead to possibly host the 4-H State Shotgun Championship in the future.  A tremendous thank you to the Friends of NRA for the MEC machines and Long-Range Control equipment.  

Without their support, this project would not be possible.  A special thanks to the family of Milton Mills for purchasing and donating a MEC trap to Arrowhead Gun Club to make the 5-Stand complete.  For more information about Arrowhead Gun Club, visit us on the web at ahgunclub.com or on Facebook @ahgunclub.
