All members must pass a Gun Skills Safety Review (GSSR) to gain access to the Indoor Range (via their WSC Proximity Cards). Cards are updated after the GSSR by the Indoor Range Chair. To attend, you must register by eMailing the Chair at least 3 days in advance.
Agenda:
- Meet in the clubhouse downstairs
- View a safety video
- Take a brief quiz on range procedures
- Demonstrate safe gun handling and usage
(Bring gun and approved target ammo)
A presentation for prospective members is held online. The MembershipSecretary must be contacted well ahead of time; he will EMail prospects with the teleconference info.
(Even though this meeting is not held in the clubhouse this month, the indoor range of course remains closed anyhow due to the coronavirus shutdown).
The meeting starts with the presentation of a slide show, so please plan
on being connected by the 9:00AM starting time. The Membership Chair
will go online at 8:30AM to help attendees connect to the teleconference.
It would be best to review the slides beforehand as well. The meeting should last approximately one hour, depending on the number of applicants.
If you haven't paid your 2021 dues by now, today is your last chance to renew without undergoing the entire new member interview process, including the $180 initiation fee.
(And you've owed a $25 late payment fee since March).
Police training on the outdoor rifle range.
The rifle range remains open for WSC member use,
but timely completion of police activities have precedence over informal shooting.
