ATTENTION DISABLED SHOOTERS

Rio Salado Sportsman’s Club is looking for disabled shooters who might like to start their own shooting program.  This will be your organization, and you set the meeting times (if needed). If there is enough interest in this program the board of directors would consider making it a division.

This is an excellent opportunity to start a program of this type, as there are few shooting programs for the disabled in the western region of the United States. 

If you and your friends have been looking for a program like this, please contact me, and we will start formulating what you need.  I have received information from the NRA disabled shooters program, and spoken with their director and he thinks this is an excellent idea.

I look forward to hearing from you.
