Harlan Campbell
Jr. Minnesota Shooting Clinics
2012
January 15, 2012
I am in the process of setting up shooting
Harlan Campbell Shooting Clinics in Minnesota for 2012. Harlan has put on his shooting clinics in Minnesota for the past 7 years and we are looking for feedback from shooters for what they would like to see in 2012.
Harlan’s traditional 2-day clinic costs
$325.00 and consists of instruction in all three
disciplines—singles, handicap, and doubles. However, we realize that there are shooters that are unable to take a 2-day clinic. Therefore, we are trying to gauge the interest in offering a 1-day clinic for a specific discipline such as handicap only or doubles only.
This 1-day clinic would cost $165.00. Harlan would also offer a clinic for beginning shooters only covering the basics of gun handling, safety, and shooting clay targets. This class would be offered only if there is enough interest to fill a class with 6 students.
Shooters can contact
Scott Messenger
with their ideas and what they would like to see offered by Harlan Campbell.
You should contact him as soon as possible so that time schedules can be determined that will fit into Harlan’s extensive travel itinerary.
Thank you,
Scott Messenger

UPDATE: The dates have been set for Friday and Saturday, July 6-7, 2012. The clinic will be held at the Owatonna Gun Club, Owatonna, MN. The clinic will start at 8:30 AM each day. Cost of the 2-day clinic is $325.00 plus your shells, lunch, and cost of targets to the host club. Additional information is available on Harlan’s website at harlancampbelljr.com or by contacting Scott Messenger.
