Terry Walsh of Upland Electric, Castor, AB, continues his support of the trial by donating a handmade holster created by Windfall Leather works.

Larry Nelson, Tuffy's Nutri-Source Dog foods, has once again continued his generous support of our trial.  Dog food will be provided for the winners. Tuffy's has supported this trial since its inception.

The Big Sky Field Trial Club would like to express our gratitude to these generous sponsor's and ask that you support their business's whenever possible.

The annual Big Sky Open Shooting Dog Classic date is being altered to May 4, 5, and 6.  This date has been chosen in an effort to better accommodate trialers from throughout our region as well as the surrounding regions.
