Forgive the longer than normal email today. We have a lot going on at Cherokee to start ’22 off on the right foot.

This time of year all scheduled activities are WEATHER PERMITTING

Keys…… As you know one of the benefits at Cherokee is the fact that we can all get keys to the facilities. For new members that might not know how to get keys

• Be trained on the machines by someone that has keys
• 8hrs range duty on the shotgun range is required (does not count toward club maintenance hours)
• 5.00 Key Fee
• Now you are good for the year to go shoot anytime you want during normal shooting hours!!!

*New key trade out will be done 1/9/22 from noon till 3p

Turkey Shoot….. *Cherokee will host a Turkey Shoot on Friday evenings through February. Shoot will be shotgun and .22 rifle. The first is this Friday 1/7

Friday 1/7 Arts old Codgers will be on the hill shooting trap and skeet. They get started around 9:30a and shoot till mid day. If your off they would love to have you join them. If you are new to shooting clays…this is a great time to get started. There are decades of experience on the field and they are more than happy to get folks started off on the right foot.
