Camp O'Connell: Grizzlies week-long training in over 105 heat!

Camp O'Connell: Grizzlies week-long training in over 105 heat!

June 19, 2022 at 7:00:00 PM

Week June 19th - The California Grizzlies attended the annual week-long training with Coach Jim O'Connell at the Coalinga Rifle Club in daily heat of over 105 degrees Fahrenheit. Getting up at 5 am, Coach O'Connell spends the early morning into the afternoon running the Juniors through rigorous daily shooting practices. Afterward, the juniors spent time on this year's special project under the direction of John-Alistair George, renovating the male and female bathrooms with new paint and vanities. The Juniors camp on the premises and prepare meals, including a daily team dinner. If not practicing, working on the project, or cleaning their rifles, they have a little free time to compete in playing their favorite pastime - corn hole.


Bathroom renovations, which include installing new vanities, sinks, and mirrors!


Thank you, Coach O'Connell, for running the annual Junior training program!


An additional thank you to John-Alistair George, who is in a team management capacity; Steve Grove, for practicing rattle battle loading; and Angela Kingshill, for managing food and meal prep. Thank you to the Coalinga Rifle Club for hosting us at your facilities!
