We need to move the clays for the shotgun range from the conex to the shotgun range due to some bug damage. Friday 1 Nov at 10:00 am meet in front of office and bathrooms at the range. Wear old clothes and bring a change of clothes. Wear work gloves Boxes weigh about 20 pounds each.
I had posted the wrong date so I have updated it. The center has asked for our help in clearing some downed trees and also to cut down trees that may be an issue. September 7th they are having 100 volunteers show up to move and stack wood. We are looking for volunteers that have chainsaws and/or pole saws and are comfortable in using them or even possibly equipment used in tree removal. We do not want members to over extend themselves or put themselves in positions to hurt themselves or others. There are many trees leaning or limbs that need to be removed. If you are willing and able to help please let me or Art know via email. Again, we want to be safe and secure with this work party. We will be cutting the wood into fire place length pieces and leaving it for the center to rearrange. We will be meeting that the range at 8am Cory, aka the MO Reach us at our emails located on the Directors link or text me if you already have my number.
The work party for this Saturday is cancelled due to forecasted weather conditions. We are rescheduling the work party to September 7th, the first Saturday of the month. If you have any question please reach out to me or the President via email. Cory, aka the MO
The work party scheduled for tomorrow is being postponed due to the current and incoming weather. Of course now that we have canceled the work party the sun will come out and shine. I will still be going to the range to unload the trailer of the approximately 100 2x6x10s and 12s into one of the conex boxes. If you are local to the range or feel like helping feel free to show up at 8am. We will reschedule the work party for a later date. I will keep the range closed so until 9am so that we can complete unloading the trailer. Cory, aka The MO
We are still having the work party this Saturday to build frames and pin tables. If you need your service hours this will be a good chance to get them. Screw guns, a table saw and chop saws are what we need. Also general hand tools will be needed. If the weather holds old we also hope to get the sidewalk and doors on the building cleaned. See you all there. Cory
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 …
Save the date! The contractor work on the range is coming to an end. The 50 and SRB are looking better and better everyday. Now its time to schedule our work. Next Saturday, May 13th, at 9:30 we will have a major work party in order to get the ranges ready to open. Plan to come out and help. We have a ton of work to do and the ranges will not open until the work is complete. A portion of the work includes all new frames (many more, hint, hint) digging frame holders, and clean up. Another post/email will be coming soon with more information in tasks and equipment we’ll need.
The work party this Saturday is full. Please do not send any further responses. If you responded, thank you for volunteering! If you have not received an email directly from me, your attendance is not needed. Only the 3 members notified will receive service hours. Art Schoner ASC MO
Want to knock out two birds with one stone (no pun intended?) You can get an early jump on your service hours and check out the condition of the ranges Saturday. Wes Norton will be running a 2-to-3-person work party to transfer birds from the Conex to the skeet houses. Wes will provide the access, transportation of the birds, everything but the lifting/carrying. If you’re interested, send me an email at [email protected]. The first 3 members to respond, get the hours. Meet Wes at 9:00 Saturday 4/22 at the 50-yd range. Art Schoner ASC MO
No one has informed me that they will be bringing a chipper/shredder tomorrow. The 4-H Center has one we can borrow, but the current maintenance staff has no idea what condition its in. So, if you pride yourself as a mechanic and want to give it a try, bring your tools and supplies. We’ll see if it’ll run if no one shows up with their own chipper/shredder. See you tomorrow at 1:00 PM, Art Schoner ASC MO
