Work Party Sunday November 5th

On Sunday Nov 5th we will be holding a work party starting at 9am to make repairs to the range. The primary focus will be to clear as much brush from the berm that separates the 100 and the shotgun range and the drainage ditch by the shotgun ranges. We will be building frames for the SRB, 25m and 50m. Also, we need to replace the removable shooting rails for the 100. General carpentry tools, chop saws and table saws will be needed for building the target frames. If someone has a router and a roundover bit that would be a huge bonus for building the removable rails at the 100. For clearing the berm, we will need chainsaws, pole saws, pruning tools and/or loppers. If anyone has any specialty equipment or tools, ie tractor with grapple or a 4 way bucket, that would be a huge bonus. We plan on renting a chipper shredder to mulch all the brush removed. Please wear some kind of boots, gloves and safety glasses if you plan to do any kind of cutting or sawing. If we get the new target backers in by the work party date, we will need the target …

Future Work Party

Hello from your new elected MO, Cory Allen. With all the recent upgrades and repairs to the range I was left in pretty good shape. We will be looking to schedule a few work parties in September and/or October. I am currently waiting for information back from Kathy, the 4H center director, about helping with the new 3D archery range work party in early October. As soon as we find out details they will posted. If you need service hours this will be a good way to make them. Now that the lead abatement and rebuilding of the SRB has been completed, we need to tackle a project on the berm separating the 100 from the shotgun range. The majority of the vegetation needs to be stripped so that we do not risk losing the berm in the event of a major storm, i.e. hurricane. The roadways down to the shotgun range will need to be trimmed back also. If any member has access to a tractor with cutting attachments, mini excavator or a skid loader/tractor with a grapple that would be a big plus. If you have access to this type of equipment, please reach out to me at …
