2 Notes from Mike Well, that was quick! As the calendar rolls over to September, our summer respites are slowly coming to an end and our fall activities will soon be firing up. As proof of that, the South Cuyahoga sportsmen s Association will be hosting the Steve Johnson Memorial Field Trial on Sunday, September 25, at the Chatham grounds. Hard to believe it has been 32 years already since the field trial committee instituted that inaugural event to honor the late Steve Johnson. Steve was a past president of SCSA and field trial chairman. Please remember that all outdoor ranges will be closed until the conclusion of the event.

3 You may feel free to contact Mike Kristof 216-570-6526 on trial day. I should be able to give an approximate time the outdoor ranges may open for the day. Steve Johnson memorial trial- Sunday, September 25, at Chatham, with an 8:30 start. Gamebirds on field are chucker partridge. Committee persons should be there by 8:00 Any questions contact Mike Kristof at 216-570-6526. Dove field- Please be advised that the conservation committee has planted a sunflower field at the Spencer Lake Road farm. It is along the west fence line adjacent to the dog training area. Parking in the lot is advised, then there is a short walk out (head west and follow path) to the dove field.

4 As with all hunting, scouting is a key to success. IDPA weeknights has moved outdoors Weather permitting, IDPA will conduct the weeknight Monday and Tuesday matches in the outdoor pistol bays.
