                                                        Are you feeling Grand yet? We hope so, because the SBTL Grand is coming up in October.
                                                     
                                                    
                                                        Our September shoot at Newman was quite successful with 111 shooters participating.
                                                        The Newman staff did a great job in keeping all the traps running smoothly and on
                                                        time. Please give them all a big thanks next time we're there. Weather was very
                                                        nice for this event, the shoot-offs went well, and all-in-all we think everyone
                                                        had a good time.
                                                     
                                                    
                                                        And again, thanks to all of you who were able to pre-squad ahead of each shoot.
                                                        This really helps our office volunteers keep all the events running efficiently
                                                        with a minimum of hassle to all. Unfortunately, we were unable to get the "pre-squad
                                                        e-mail notification" sent out prior to the event, so we had some confusion during
                                                        sign-ups. Please bear with us as we transition from one system to another. The only
                                                        real issue is that it may take a little longer during the sign-up process as we
                                                        have to do more "hand" work. The actual running of the events shouldn't be impacted.
                                                        Hopefully, by next year, we'll have things worked out so that the process will run
                                                        smoother.
                                                     
                                                    
                                                        We're closing in on the "Year-End" and The Grand season now so be sure to check
