James River Equipment Company and Benchmark Tool & Supply jointly held a customer appreciation skeet-shooting event at Drake Landing in Fuquay Varina, N.C., on Oct. 2. Contractors from Eastern North Carolina tested their shooting skills despite the steady rain.
Drake Landing has many shooting points offering various situations that would mimic an actual hunting experience. They also offer hunting for different in-season game.
James River Equipment and Benchmark had many John Deere, Hitachi and NorAm machines on hand for their customers to try out. Several were equipped with lasers and GPS systems to help the operator move dirt precisely. The whole object with a GPS system is to accurately touch the dirt only once instead of doing the same section several times due to operator error.
