Spring 2009
Message from the President of Salem Clay Target Sports Club
Tom Jones
Our Club now has a vision document and plan in place presenting how it can improve its facilities over the span of the next three to five years and beyond. Our “Master Plan” rendering is hanging on the north wall in the Club House. Please, take a minute to review it and see the specific improvements we hope to implement as funds become available. Although the total price tag comes in at over $350,000, we plan to implement it in a phased, orderly and logical approach. Erecting the 60 foot tower this year was our first improvement on the Sporting Course. We hope in our next phase to improve the overall site storm drainage system which could start as early as this August. Most of the earthwork improvements will get implemented in this phase. This May, we will over-seed the lawn areas in front of the Club House and on Skeet Fields 7 and 8. The new irrigation system that was installed this past fall will keep the grass green and lush all summer and will help to keep our Club’s landscaping looking great

The Huffman Memorial Shoot
By Patsy Mitchell
It was our 2nd Annual Huffman shoot, in honor of our good friend Fred Huffman. For those that did not know Fred, he was our true friend that came rain or shine to the club most every day, whether he shot or not. We miss him!
Fred’s wife, Fran came out Sunday, and his son Will Huffman, a detective in Gresham, was present and shot in the events Friday, Saturday & Sunday. We had a strong turnout Friday for the prelim and small gauges of 50+. Ken Sides won the prelim, 20ga, and 28ga. Terry Murphy won the .410 event with 40/50. Saturday, 79 shooters came out to shoot, with Ken Sides from Washington posting the high score of 94. Sunday’s event was attended by 68 shooters from Idaho, Washington & Oregon.
Ken Sides was the winner again! We celebrated the shoot serving up Fred’s own favorite recipe of Red Beans & Rice, grilled chicken and corn muffins presented by Patsy Mitchell.
