A huge thanks to Braden Willis, Boys Scouts Troop 16, and his father, David, for building and donating new shooting benches, rifle racks, sitting benches and a scorers chair to the club for his Eagle Scout project. All the shooting benches were placed at the 25 and 50. A couple rifle racks and benches were also placed at the 50 and the rest along with the scorers chair were placed at the shotgun range.
The locking procedure to secure the main gate has changed to a much simpler process. When it is time to secure the gate we no longer place both locks together. We just wrap our portion around the gate and secure the chain only on the gate. The Centers lock is secured to the main post and locked to the chain. Please continue to zero out the lock when you open the lock though. If you have any question please reach out to me the MO, the President or the Provost for guidance. Cory
The AED has been temporarily moved into the men’s restroom. This will ensure that we don’t cold soak the battery and shorten its life expectancy. Signage has been placed at all the key places to advise that the AED is in the men’s restroom.
March 2nd, at 9am, will be a chance to get your service hours complete before the renewal period starts. We will be having a work party to build replacement frames for the ranges and to build the pin tables for the upcoming bowling pin season commencing in April. You Pinheads know who you are that shot up all the tables. Also, general range cleanup will be accomplished. We will need leaf blowers, power saws(table saw and/or miter saw), power drills and general hand tools for the projects. We will also need some extension cords to run from the building as power is currently limited at the SRB/50. A bonus would be a power washer to cleanup the concrete at the range and the bathrooms and also the doors on the building. There will be some other small jobs planned if time allows. If you have any questions or have specific skills or tools please reach out to me. Cory ASC Maintenance Officer
A member left a pouch of 10 Glock magazines with a Glock magazine loader on November 7th, between 1300 and 1445 hours at the SRB. If anyone has seen them or is in possession of them could you please notify a board member ASAP. ASC MO Cory
A pair of glasses, appears to be prescription glasses were found at the range. If you may have lost a pair of prescription glasses please reach out to me or Brenda Norton, shotgun director. Cory ASC MO
I received an email from a member today about some lost magazines found at the SRB on Friday Nov 10th. Also a drill was left at the range Sunday Nov 5th the work party day. Please email the MO if anyone may have been the members that left either item so they can be returned. Greetings from member 770 Dave Hodgson. At the SRB today I found two 17 round pistol magazines that someone probably left on Friday some time. There were a lot of signups so I did not copy them down. Can an email be sent out to see if someone in the club left them? They aint cheap! Thanks, Dave Cory ASC MO [email protected]
Do we have a members interested in equestrian events? Well the 4H Center is hosting a work party to do some work on their stables and equestrian area. If you would like to help please RSVP to the information on the flyer. If you do attend please reach out to me with your service hours worked. ASC MO Cory
The work party was a huge success, we accomplished all we wanted plus some extra. Important- a member left behind a drill. If it is your drill please reach out to me at [email protected] so we can arrange to get you the drill back. Thank you to all the members and family members who showed up to help with all the work. The berm getting stripped of all the tress and most of the brush is a huge improvement for the safety of the berm. All new frames were built along with new target backers. A big thanks to the crew that managed the chipper/shredder all day in the blazing sunshine of Wakefield. The big bonus was a member bring his tractor with grapple and land plane to manicure the parking lot and the SRB/50. Thank you again for all the hard work of the members. Cory ASC MO
Just a reminder that we will be having a work party this coming Sunday Nov 5th at 9am. We will be building all new frames for the SRB, 25M, 50M and the 100. We will also be working on removing the brush from both sides of the berm for the 100/shotgun range. On the 100 we need to replace the removable rails. General clean up of the range will also occur. We will need general carpentry tools but we will need a table saw and a miter saw to make the frames. A router with a round over bit is also needed for the removable rails at the 100. If anyone would like to bring a pressure washer, we will have the attachments to clean the concrete pads and sidewalks. Chainsaws, poles saws and loppers will be needed for clearing the berm. We are getting a chipper/shredder to make quick work of the debris from the berm. Please bring work boots, gloves and eye protection for all the work. All the ranges will be shut down at 9am for the work party. We look forward to seeing everyone out at the range to assist. Cory ASC MO
