Tirath working on his skeet skills with Bob Larue

Tirath Singh, a junior member developing his skeet skills with Bob looking over his shoulder.

He became interested in skeet shooting from watching both his father and grandfather shooting in India. This summer his dad brought him up to the club for lessons. The young man shoots a Fausti Conrad 20 gauge, over/under. His dad purchased the gun from The Gun Dealer at https://thegundealer.net/

Bob is an NSSA Certified Level III Skeet Instructor. If you are interested in having your youngster join as part of our junior program you can contact Bob at  bob-larue@shaw.ca
