Ancient Oak Gun Club opened at the end of April with the hugely successful Roger Hill Memorial Shoot, and has hosted several tournaments since then. Club manager Wayne Evans is looking forward to expanding the sport. To help do this, he said, and the club will offer a free “Women and Kids Clinic” June 23. Participants will be introduced to the basics of sporting clays, including eye dominance, gun fit, acquiring targets and gun handling/safety. Ultimately, participants will have a chance to start breaking targets. The clinic will last approximately three hours. The club can only accommodate the first 20 people who sign up. The person taking the clinic is required to weigh at least 80 pounds, which helps ensure that the shooter has the proper strength and stability to handle the shotgun.
The club is located at 16800 SR 64 East in Lakewood Ranch, Fla. For more information call 941.745.5900 or visit www.ancientoakgunclub.com [2].
