The purpose of this fun shoot is to bring new volunteers into local South Florida Chapters. The bring-a-buddy theory is for current DU volunteers to bring a buddy, a new volunteer, into the DU network. Our DU chapters need new volunteers that bring new ideas and new contacts that are the foundation of DU’s growth in North America.  This fun shoot will be a 75 target course on the famous Deer Creek range.
Lunch will be provided!  The cost per shooter is $40.00 with prizes for top shooters to be awarded.  To sign up contact: Mike Mezrah or Brett Bainter
