Butte Schuetzen House


The Butte Gun Club has been selling raffle tickets on a Shiloh Sharps in order to pay for some restoration to the Schuetzen House at the Rocking, MT range. Tonight is the drawing and with my previous good luck with these kinds of things, I have been loath to be far from the phone. It's getting late and I am beginning to wonder why no one has called. The picture is from 1899. I don't imagine that there are many of these original shooting houses left in existence. From what I've read, the club of today prefers to shoot their matches with black powder.
