Sunday April 2 Work Party Update

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

Work Party and Range Repair Update

Range Repair Update

In Phase One, the lead remediation company is scheduled to arrive and begin work on Wednesday April 12. Their work should take one week. Phase 2 includes rebuilding and expanding the SRB, as well as work on both the 50 yd and 100m berms. If all goes well, phase 2 will begin immediately after Phase 1 is completed. Phase 2 should take 2 weeks. I’m going to close both ranges from April 12 until May 10 to account for any delays, including, but not limited to our variable spring weather. As the times approach and the work progresses, I will keep everyone informed and update the calendar. Hopefully the work is done before May 10, but I’d hate to have something scheduled and then not have the ranges available. Unless I post otherwise, the shotgun fields will be closed during the week while work in in progress for the workers safety. The shotgun fields SHOULD be open on the weekend.

Work Party

It’s also time for a spring-cleaning work party and for us to clean up the vegetation on and around our berms. We will be giving the wall its annual coat of sealant. If anyone has, or has access to a wood chipper/shredder please let me know, as I don’t think we should be dumping any longer.

Items we will need include, but are not limited to:

Pressure washers
Pressure washer surface cleaners
Water Host
Chainsaws
Leaf blowers
Hedge trimmers
Loppers
Brush cutters (string edgers aren’t really up for the task)

I know this is last minute, but I was just given the above work schedule, and this work needs to be completed prior to their arrival. To allow our church going members to attend, the party will start this Sunday April 2 at 1:00 PM. Don’t forget extra batteries or 2 cycle fuel for your tools! Are my snake loving friends available?

If you have a chipper/shredder, or any questions send me an email at XO@airfieldshootingclub.org.

I hope to see you Sunday!

Save The Date

No!  No one is getting married!  We’re having another work party on Sunday November 7.  To minimize range down time, we’ll get started at 9:30.  We’ll be doing range and berm maintenance.  So, bring string trimmers, brush cutters, chain saws, or just yourself and a good pair of gloves.  If you have an open utility trailer, bring that as well.  We’ll be hauling off the brush we cut down.  Both ranges will be closed until the work is done. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at XO@airfieldshootingclub.org. See you at the range. Art Schoner ASC XO

Work Party September 4!

Work Party! Need service hours?  Tired of hassling with old dilapidated frames?  Come out and support your club and earn some service hours next Saturday September 4th at 10:00.  We will be rebuilding all of the frames and replacing some of the pipes in the ground. So, bring your basic carpentry tools, including (but not limited to) circular saws and miter saws, and drills/drivers. Send me a note at XO@airfieldshootingclub.org if you happen to have a power post hole digger, or auger, that you’re willing to bring.  Please be aware, in order to get this done as soon as possible and minimize range down time, this work party will run concurrently with the September bowling pin match, so bring your eye and ears!
