Vice President’s Corner – November 2023

The outdoor range is really taking on a new and improved appearance. There is a dedicated 10yd, 25yd and 50yd range with new berms being formed and improved. We will have another work weekend on November 18 and 19. We need a lot of help and would like to see some more volunteers show up. We will have a lot of machinery there to do the heavy moving of dirt but extra help will get things done sooner.

SPECIAL NOTICE, READ CAREFULLY

We have noticed that some shooters on the outdoor range do not read the range rules. The most violated rule is SINGLE LOAD ONLY on the uncovered 50yd and the entire 100yd range. This means that only ONE round is allowed in the rifle at a time. This further means that you do not put a magazine in the rifle with more than one bullet in it. If you are caught shooting with multiple rounds in the rifle, an Incident Report will be written, your range card will be shut off and you will be required to attend a meeting with the Range Safety Committee. This means that by the time this whole process takes place, you will be without range privileges for at least 3 months. There is no excuse to violate this rule. It is very easy to accidently discharge a second shot with a semi-automatic rifle with the recoil of the rifle, which could very likely go over the berm. Please review the range rules and don’t let a suspension of your shooting privileges happen to you. There will be no more warnings given.
See you around the club!
