Proper Range Safety Flag Use

It’s important to use the Range Safety Flags to ensure visitors know where shooters are while on the facility. Below are pictures indicating where they need to be placed.

Lifetime Membership Policy Change

 

We’ve  made changes to our lifetime members policy. The policy goes into effect in 2019. The reason for the change is twofold. We have a long list of lifetime members and do not know if they still reside in the area. And for safety reasons we want to ensure all members are up to date on policy and procedure changes. The new policy is as follows:

Lifetime members will be required to fill out a membership application prior to receiving a membership card. The membership application can be accepted by the members of the Board of Directors and does not require approval of the membership at a general meeting. Lifetime members who are not regularly active, will attend orientation every five years, starting on their fifth year.

The definition of an active member is one who uses the range and or attends meetings.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to any of the Board Members.

February News & Update

Hello Everyone,

Some of you may know me, if not my name is Tim McClure. I’ve just been elected as the new president of the club. Yeah, what was I thinking? I like shooting and I wanna keep the range open, so what the heck. A little about my self. I’m a 6 year Navy veteran. My rating was Boatswain’s Mate. I’ve been a computer technician for the last 30 years. I enjoy shooting rifle and pistol mostly. I occasionally dust off my shotgun. I also enjoy fishing and hunting small game. I haven’t done much bird hunting, but I’d like to learn more.

With the new pistol range, I’m excited about the coming year. We also have a lot we’d like to still do. In regards to our facility, our club house is in bad shape. One of our priorities is to replace it. Our goal is to have a new building by 2020. We plan to start out modest by getting a building up. With a possibility of adding a restroom and a kitchen at a later date. Of course the challenge will be funding it. We plan to do so by growing our membership and holding fund raisers. If any of you have experience with fundraising, please contact me. We need your help.

In addition we’d like to hold more activities at the club. For example a black powder shoot. There is also a lot of interest in steel pistol shoots. Again we are looking for help with that. So if you are interested in volunteering and organizing please contact me. We will continue the twice a month, Sunday trap shoot as soon as the weather improves and mud season is over.

We’ll also be adding an events calendar to our website shortly. So keep an eye out for it. If you have not had a chance to sign up for website notifications I encourage you to visit our web page and sign up. If you are on Facebook, look us up too. And as always, our meetings are the third Wednesday of the month at 7pm. Its a great opportunity to voice your wants and get involved.

On that note, I look forward to seeing you at the range.
