Free USCCA Online Mini Class Session

Good Evening folks,

In order to ease the pain of the range being closed for repairs and renovations, our Chief Instructor Scott Sampson will be offering a FREE Online United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) mini class this Monday night (4/24) at 7 PM.  The class will be about 1.5 – 2 hours long.  The mini class will be on “The Legal Use of Force”.  You will be required to provide your ASC membership number and will be registered for the class with USCCA.  Again there is no fee.

The link to join is meet.google.com/bnk-mqpn-gwm

Hope to see you online!

 

WOT – June 10th 2023

June 10th, 2023 – Calling all Ladies!  Join us for Women on Target!   All women, ages 12+ are welcome and encouraged to come out to experience firearm education in a safe and supportive environment.  This women only event will cover education in pistol, shotgun, rifle and archery.  The cost is $65/person this year and will be inclusive of all firearms, ammo and lunch at the Conference Center.

Women will benefit from one-on-one instruction with certified instructors in each discipline.  Participants will receive materials and a certificate of participation.

This is a fantastic event for those women that have never held a firearm before to maybe those that have experience in a discipline but not another.

Don’t wait, spots are limited.  Sign up here Today!

Work Party on 4/22

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.

Berm Update and Shotgun Range News 04/16/23

Berm work will begin as soon as a CAT excavator can be delivered, hopefully, tomorrow morning. The range will be closed upon arrival of the equipment. If you want to risk it and feel you must get some rounds down range before the closure, do so at your own risk. Wes Norton or I will be onsite whenever the equipment is delivered and will immediately close the ranges by putting out the black flags on the 50 and 100. The ranges will remain closed until re-opened, after the work is complete. Let’s skip the discussion of what would happen if anyone were to use a range during its closure. I’m working the possibility of getting the work started on the SRB while the other work is underway, which would shorten the overall schedule.
With concurrence from the MT2 project superintendent, the shotguns fields will remain open during this phase of the work.

Berm Work Update 4/13/2023

More delays from our contractor. Work will not begin Friday or Saturday. Their crew leader will be showing up on site this weekend to assess the situation (mostly the condition of the berm materials). All ranges, except the SRB, remain open for the weekend. When he shows up, I’ll temporarily close each range as required for him to assess the conditions.

Range Work Update 4/11/2023

First of all, I’d like to thank 3 members for their work related to the upcoming berm work: Our Chief Instructor Scott Sampson has done a miraculous job of getting the contracts ready and approved by both our board and the 4-H Center’s board. Secondly, I’d like to thank our Provost Mark Fitzmorris, for it was Mark who identified MT2 years ago as the go to contractor for the lead remediation effort. Mark will also be helping in the monitoring of both contracts. Thirdly, I’d like to thank Wes, and by default Brenda, Norton for he has volunteered to be at the range whenever needed, when I’m not available.

Now for the latest and greatest status of the schedule: MT2 is currently in Valdosta GA, and got flooded out of their current job (anyone watch the Masters’ golf tournament?) This has caused our start date to slip. The latest word is that they will be here Friday or Saturday. Whenever they arrive and begin work ALL ranges will be closed. The 50-yd and 100m ranges will remain closed until all work is complete. I also found out that their work schedule is 7-5 Monday through Saturday, so the trap and skeet fields will only be open on Sundays. If there is a day, other than Sunday, that they don’t work, I will adjust the calendar and post it on the website.

To avoid flooding everyone’s inbox with potentially unwanted emails, I will provide at least weekly updates on the club’s website. I will pin my posts so that they appear at the top, but no emails will go out. My intention is that this message/post will be the last one on this subject until the work is complete. I’ll also try to post updates on the club’s Facebook page.

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,
