Be suretothank your Florida SCTP Advisors Wendell Mixon(on the left) and Joey Berardinelli for all their hard work this year. I’ve known these two for over 15 years and I can’t say enough about the wonderful work they’ve done. They make the Florida SCTP the best it can be. I consider myself lucky to be working with them and to have them as goodfriends.
Thanks for another successfulyear.

Thanks to all the coaches who make this newsletter great and congratulations to all your Youth Shooters at Nationals. Florida still holds its own against the rest of the countries teams.
Received lots of great pictures for the newsletter this month. Thanks again for the contributions. I could always use any content you think interesting for our shooters and coaches.
If you have an article to send with the pictures, please put it in a Word file. Email text does not copy and paste well. Pictures are best as .jpg.
If you are interested in having a skeet or trap clinic for you team this fall, let me know. I have time and I truly enjoy coaching anything that involves a shotgun and clay target.
I look forward to restarting training this fall. If you have team schedules you want to post send them in.
Have a great month!
