** Old Skagit Gun Club is great at celebrating milestones and Rudy Martinak’s milestone was no exception.

Rudy celebrated shooting his 150,000 target at Old Skagit, the same place he shot his 50,000 and 100,000.  Also unique and memorable is Rudy shot each one of the fore mentioned milestones with the same squad; Bob White, Jerry Broten, Bill Roseboom, Brian fooks and Rudy, each wearing a commemorative Rudy Martinak 150,000 target hat.

Old Skagit Gun Club presented Rudy with a jacket, belt buckle, P.I.T.A. 150,000 pin and certificate, as well as an amazing cake for everyone to enjoy.  Regardless of the less than desirable weather (high winds and rain) Rudy and everyone who was there to help him celebrate had a great weekend.

Can’t wait for the 200,000 target, CONGRATULATIONS RUDY!!!!!!
