The clay targets were flying through the air recently and it was for a good cause during the Neepawa Wildlife Association’s (NWA) ninth annual clay shoot. The event, which featured over 50 shooters, was held on Sunday, June 3 and served as a fundraiser for the club. In total, just over $2,000 was raised, through a combination of registrations, sponsorships and donations.

NWA member Bryan Bramley said those proceeds will actually be split evenly between the club and #317 Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron Strathclair.

“There were several members of the squadron who volunteered their time to be a part of the day’s festivities and we were very appreciative of their support,” said Bramley. “We feel it’s very important each year to use a portion of the proceeds to assist another local group, and this year, we as a though supporting the [#317 Air Cadets] was very worthwhile.”

Bramley added that the NWA was very thankful for all the local businesses that either donated to making the day a success either through a sponsorship or through donation.

As for the event itself, Bramley noted that it wasn’t about competing against one another, but rather about challenging yourself. He also added that the NWA was very thankful for all the local businesses that either donated to make the day a success, either through a sponsorship or through donation.
