Pine Technical College gunsmithing students and Shooters Association members hosted and sponsored Range Day this afternoon at the Grantsburg, Wisc. Rod and Gun Club. The annual event was open to all students, students' families, prospective students, and staff and faculty members. More than 50 attended the event and participated in trap and skeet shooting, plus enjoyed grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, prepared by Shooters Association members.

"Range Day" is the event where anyone in the PTC community -- whether they're students or parents or donors or alumni or admissions staff -- can experience first-hand and up front firearms and shooting and learn to shoot if they don't already know how!" says Doug Pieper, PTC gunsmithing instructor. "Plus, it's just fun to get together outdoors over hamburgers and hot dogs and have a casual, fun event with our excellent students," Pieper adds.
