Outdoor Range Safety Briefing


May 15, 2016

If you are interested in using the outdoor ranges you must obtain an Orange Card by attending an Outdoor Range Safety Briefing, given by the Outdoor Range Chair. Please meet Ken at the clubhouse at 11:30 AM and allow 2 1/2 hours for this briefing. (We will be starting on schedule, so please be on time). You must bring hearing and eye protection. Ken requests that you bring something to shoot (pistol or rifle), appropriate ammo, and targets. However, please attend the briefing, with your eye/ear protection, even if you currently do not have a gun. If you are unable to attend the briefing on the Sunday immediately after the general meeting when you were initiated, or if you are a existing member planning to attend in order to finally obtain your Orange Card, please e-mail Ken to let him know whether or not to print your card. Ken will be using the Outdoor Range Rules which reside on the web site's Forms-Documents page.

Sportswomen Meeting (Rifles)


June 4, 2016

Women are invited to try the Rifle Range.

Women members are invited to try out the outdoor rifle range. Meet at the trap house (not the clubhouse) at 9:00AM and proceed with fellow sportswomen to the outdoor rifle range at 9:30AM. Experienced shooters will offer education and guidance as we try the sport out. You will learn about the safety and range-use protocols, get questions answered, and try some rifle shooting. Bring your own rifle or use one from the club. Also, bring eye and ear protection, and ammunition (or chip in to use some from the club). RSVP to the Sportswomen Chair if you plan to be there so that we can have enough supplies for the group.
