The bricks have been engraved on the front walkway of the club. Lookin' good!! You can still get a brick and we will have them engraved in the fall of 2009 once the weather cools. Cost of a brick is $100.00 It's a great way to honor and remember our friends, family members and pets. You can obtain a form at the club or click on the "Brick Fundraiser" page on this website. Remember, an engraved brick is a lasting gift.

During the warmer weather, we will hold Skeet N Eats on the Firday nights prior to the 3 days skeet shoots.. Our next Skeet N Eat will be held Friday, August 21 during the state skeet shoot.

LowCountry Young Guns
The youth trap shooting team will begin regular practice again in 2009. They also shoot the monthly registered trap shoots. We usually have practice on Thursdays, starting around 6:00 p.m. 4 rounds of trap are shot at the 16 yd line. If you know of a youth who is interested in shooting, please come out and join us or contact Patty Walton at patty.walton@partridgecreekgunclub.com. We encourage boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 21 to come out and participate. We currently have a trap team but are also looking to start a youth skeet team. We want to thank everyone who supports the youth team. Your support of the youth team made it possible for more practice rounds and attending the S.C. ATA shoot in 2009. Three of the Young Guns participated in the 2009 State ATA shoot. We are very proud of these young shooters; they shot very well under pressure conditions. Alex McHale won the Junior Division and Patrick Bryan won the Subjunior event. Alex shot his first 75 straight at the shoot as well. You can support the kids by becoming a sponsor or if you are an experienced trap shooter, the kids could use some one on one instruction. As you know, the cost of lead continues to increase and the cost of shells are skyrocketing. If you're purchasing shells, please remember our youth team and donate a box to the cause. Most shoot 12 ga. but a few are shooting 20 ga. Every box counts!! Please help support our youth team as they are our future and next generation of shooters. Here is a link to the website for the LowCountry Young Guns. Congratulations to Hunter Baughman and Patrick Bryan who shot their first 50 and 75 straight in trap at the North Carolina state shoot.
