Largest photo: Tim Cooper shoots at balloons while running through the first part of the course.  Each Course has to be done it a specific order and requires you to change guns at some point during the course.

Smallest:  Maria Haaby gets her guns back from being loaded so she can shoot her coursea when it becomes her turn.

Bottom Right: Dwayne Haaby loads guns for member becase no one is allowed to load their own, for safety reasons.

Random Pic

Brayden Anderson runs the ball before getting tackled by one of Monroe's defensive players.  Anderson went on to score one touch down in a hard loss, 48-12, against the Monroe Dragons. It was a very long and hard game with two players going to the hospital with concusions and one with a back injury.

Sports/Action



Loyd Lutz Jumps his Grizzly 250 up the sand dunes in Florence.  Lutz and his wife go to Florence with their quads when the weather is nice and enjoy the day on the dunes.  On very warm days they will take a cooler with their lunch in it and find a place to eat lunch.



Ideas for my Photo Story

Right now my photo story is either going to be the harvest festival that my towns school puts on every year or one of the mounted shooting practices that i go to.  I plan on taking different types of photos like portraits, overall shots, and feature photos.

Free Shot, The Beach

Jonathon Beu jumps his sand-rail on the dunes at Florence.  Beu loves driving his sand-rail and scaring any passengers he is carrying.  When he is not driving his sand-rail he is riding his quad.
