Flyers Bird Shoot at FLR Ranch,

Fun and challenging. Shooting in an international-sized flyers ring, a single shooter steps to the position,
calls pull and a flyer is released from one of five traps--but you don't know which one until it happens.
The flyer must be hit and fall within the ring to earn a point, and this calls for fast shooting.
Five flyers are released and then the next person steps up.
This is repeated until each person has had a chance at 25 flyers.

Price is $250 per person. $75 deposit is due by July 15th.
Price includes warm-up clay targets (bring plenty of #9, #8 or #7 1/2 shot), morning snacks, lunch and 25 birds. Bring #5 or #6 for flyers--two boxes should be enough. Shells can be purchased at FLR Ranch.
Be there at 9 AM. However, many of us will travel to Olney the night before and stay in the lodge (bedding provided), which will be an extra $35 cost. Come up with us late-afternoon Oct. 3, enjoy a good +6+steak in town, have a drink or two

(Olney is dry, so BYOB), tell some stories and get a good night's sleep before the shoot starts
the next day. Let Trip Chair know if you want to stay in Lodge on Oct. 3.

Sandhill Crane Hunt with Mark Meissenburg of Panhandle's Best, Inc.

Experience an exciting hunt for the "Ribeye of the Sky" with one of the best outfitters around. Hunt sandhill crane early in the morning over mounted decoys. Three person minimum, 9 person maximum. Your guide will take you where the birds are located. Assuming usual weather patterns, lodging will most likely be at the Cresent Park Motel in Littlefield, TX (35 miles northeast of Lubbock). Double rooms are $50 per night. Exact location will be confirmed closer to the hunt. Optional same-day afternoon hunts available for extra charge. Hunts include breakfast, lunch, beverages and bird cleaning.

Each hunter needs (1) a regular Texas hunting license, (2) a sandhill crane permit (free, you just have to ask for it), (3) a current HIP number (free also), and (4) a migratory bird stamp endorsement ($7.00, in case geese are around). Outfitter recommends 12 gauge # 4 copper plated lead (2 3/4 inch is fine). If there are geese in the area, outfitter says steel BB # 1's or # 2's are good, but the Heavy Shot # 4 is the best.

Member Cost: $250 perperson per day, or $225per person per day with 5 or more hunters. Hunters are responsible for their own licenses and shells. 50% deposit by August 31, 2008
