Please stay off the new grass at the rifle range with vehicles: We’ve planted a mixture of food plot, cover, and erosion control mix on the areas that have been graded at the rifle range, including the 100 and 200 yard bearms and the areas immediately in front of them. please stay off the new growth and give the grass a chance to get established. A little bit of walking might do us all some good!

Target Frames Have Been Repaired AGAIN: Please help them last by NOT taping targets to the uprights: there are plenty clothespins for that. If you see someone misusing the range facilities, contact a Board Member-----get a vehicle description, tag no & description of the abuser only---no need to risk a confrontation----and we’ll handle it.

A Safety Note: Back during deer season, a near-miss happened at the rifle range that could have ended very tragically.

Here’s what happened: a large group of shooters (7---8) were at the range and had taken a break. While this was going on, a new shooter showed up and went down to set up some targets-----without telling anyone at the firing line he was about to do so. (This shooter also had on a tan coat that matched the color of the 100 yard backstop!!!) A shooter at the far-left side of the firing line did not notice this member had gone downrange and fired his rifle at the same backstop! Fortunately, he was stopped after the first shot and no harm was done.

Reminders and New Procedures to Follow at the Rifle Range:

• Do NOT go downrange without making sure EVERYONE at the firing line has stopped shooting and KNOWS you are going downrange;
• Do NOT set up any equipment on a shooting bench that blocks a clear view of the entire firing line; (Shooter in above incident had a large ammo can with a spotting scope attached to it that blocked his view to the right side of the firing line)
• Do not handle any gun---for any reason--- while someone is downrange except to put in a case, if finished shooting; (I put my hands in my pockets for good measure)
• Whenever (2) or more are shooting at the Rifle Range, one Member is to assume the role of Range Master and watch to make sure the other shooters are all shooting and handling their guns safely, and stop immediately any unsafe actions ;
• There will be posted (2) blaze orange vests that are to be worn while going downrange any time to check and put up, or remove targets
• As a final reminder, keep all actions open while entering or leaving the firing line and keep the muzzle pointed either straight up or straight down. Thanks & BE SAFE!
