Future Work Party

Uncategorized

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 [email protected] so that we can coordinate a good date for the work party.

I look forward to working with all the board members and the members of the club to keep the club in excellent shape and make future improvements to the facilities.

Range Updates and Housekeeping

ASC Announce

Range Updates:

1) The 100m range is now open for vehicular traffic, when appropriate. Be smart! If its wet, or soft, you probably shouldn’t be driving down there. If you make the wrong decision, and leave ruts, or otherwise damage the range, you’ll probably be asked to make it right (in one form or another).

2) The Automated External Defibrillator (AED) that was located in the sign-in shed was recently relocated adjacent to the steps on the 50 nearest the 100m range. This was done at the request of the Center, in order for them to have access while using the range. If you open the range, please check to make sure it’s still inside.

Housekeeping:
Last year, the club placed a quality first aid kit and quality trauma kit in the sign-in shed. If you get a minor cut or scape and need something from the first aid kit, please use whatever is required. Afterwards please notify the MO ([email protected]) of all supplies and/or equipment used so they can be properly restocked. There is little worse than going to a first aid kit in need and finding it depleted. If you require the trauma kit, render assistance following the procedures in the range rules.

We are a shooting CLUB. We are dependent upon volunteers to run the club and to help with maintaining and improving our ranges and facilities. I’d like to thank everyone who supported me (and the club) in the last 2 years by coming out to work parties. Unfortunately, there is a small core group of people that made most of the work parties and were responsible for the majority of the work. Please come out and help out at the next work party, given enough members, the work goes quickly. If you’re not careful, you may even find yourself having a good time and may even make a new friend or two! Can’t make the work parties? Contact the MO and let him know if you have any trade skills or hobbies that could be beneficial to the club.

The last thing I’d like to say here is thank Cory Allen for stepping up to assume the role as Maintenance Officer for the club as I move up to become president. I know Cory will do a great job. Please support him as much as possible. It’s a big job that only gets easier and better with help from members.

Thanks again for the support over the last two years. I hope to see you on the range.
