Despite the triple digit temperatures of summer, members of the PebbleCreek Gun Club keep up with their recreational shooting sports.
PebbleCreek Gun Club – Discussion Group Luncheon
Boardroom, Toscana Restaurant; June 29, 2015
Gerald Bourquin was the featured speaker, a Korean War (1952) and Vietnam veteran with two tours (1966 and 1971) in Vietnam (over 3,000 hours of combat time) as a gunship helicopter pilot. After serving in Korea he re-enlisted for Vietnam. Gerry talked about the many missions he flew and showed slides of his tours in Vietnam. Gerry was one of the original members of the U.S. Army Parachute Team Golden Knights. At 81 years young, Jerry has over 4,180 jumps to his credit and still jumping – he is also a parachute rigger that packs his own chutes.

This is a nice, modern and very safety oriented indoor shooting facility. It is especially nice because there is no walking to the target – just press the button and the target moves to you and the air conditioning during the summer really beats the heat and not having to drive to the desert to shoot.
