Category: Work Party

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.  

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 …

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
