The week end before last the Crohn's and Colitis committee in Eastend, Saskatchewan put on the second annual two day Trap shooting Tourney to raise funds for The research and cure for these terrible diseases. I want to give them the recognition they deserve for this wonderful fund raising event. This was their second year and in the two years a little town of 600 + raised a total of $175,000.00. One of my young friends was diagnosed almost 20 years ago. He is a real hunter and shooter and a member on here. His Brother along with a few friends spear headed the event. It has turned out to be the second biggest private fund raiser for these diseases in all of Canada. Half of the funds go to the Crohn's and Colitis foundation and the other 50% helps out non profit organizations in town such as the rink complex, Hall etc. No promotion here they are doing very well and a number of great sponsors have stepped up to the plate. There is a banquet, auction and dance as well. Saturday the first day are 75 targets. Sunday is divided into four flights and a final round of 25 to determine the winners. Championship flight pays $1000.00 , the other three flight winners each get $500.00. Here is a thumbs up to a great bunch of guys and gals for getting this done. Just a couple pics.
Here I am shooting, very embarrassed
last year I tied for first in top flight, lost by one bird in final. This year shot in bottom flight, oh well 
It's just so great to see the support for this and the young guys out there shooting.
