Hunter Education
Perry taught our Hunter Ed. course this year on Friday evening and Saturday morning, June 7th and 8th. Congratulations to the 20 students who successfully graduated.
TRAP SHOOTING
Perry is currently in 6th place in the 2024 Berks County Amateur Trap shooting league. Lenhartsville is currently leading Perry in the Monday evening league. That league continues through the end of September; and you can still join. Our summer monthly trap shoots will be held on Saturdays, July 6th, August 3rd and September 7th.
Big Game Contests
Garren Spohn won the 2022-2023 longest turkey beard contest with an 11-1/4 inch entry taken in Berks County. All big game contest winners now receive a $75 award.
Fishing Rodeo
Perry co-sponsored with Lenhartsville Fish & Game a youth trout fishing rodeo at their pond on Saturday, May 11th. The rodeo was open to members of both clubs, their children and grand children at the lower pond at Lenhartsville.
LOST & FOUND
Did you forget to take along one of your personal belongings while at the ranges?? Please check with us to retrieve your items. We currently have several pairs of sun glasses, a heavy duty striking stapler, a flask, a jar filled with foam ear plugs and a green ammo box in our possession.
Shotgun Patterning
There is a patterning stand for shotguns located between trap-houses #2 and #3. Please refrain from firing shotgun shot shells at the pistol/rifle range yard ages below 25 yards. Shot shell pellets at such short distances quickly deteriorate the target mats requiring more frequent maintenance. Limit shotgun use at the ranges for sighting in slug barrels only.
