March 1st Work Party Reminder

Calling all Pin Heads and members that need their service hours.

We are in need of a post hole digger, I have a manual one, but if someone has a gas one that would be great. We need to bore 4 holes for 4×4 post to make frame holder for the SRB and 100.

Also of importance: I listed all the projects we would like to work on, but they are now all a must do. We need to build pin tables and frames for the range at a minimum.

Saturday March 1st, weather permitting 9am until we are done 3 pm-ish, we will be having a large work party. We will be building pin tables, frames for the all the ranges and also working on the ballistic wall repair project. We need some members to make up new target backers and also doing general range cleanup. Tools needs would be general carpentry tools for building the frames and tables also some power tools would be nice to have. For frames and tables: portable table saw, chop saw ,screw guns and extension cords. For the ballistic wall also general carpentry tools: chop saws, impact drivers with deep sockets(I believe 3/4″) extension cords, hammers or mallets and a generator if it is easily transportable. We will be boring 1/2″ holes thru the wall and sistering 2x6s to each side and using carriage bolts to secure them. We have a couple 1/2 drills and 1/2 boring bits but feel free to bring some if you have them. We will also be doing general cleanup so blowers for the leaves and debris on the range, some rakes and maybe shovels and a power washer to wash the concrete by the bathrooms(time permitting). For lighter work we also have to prep the 300 or so new target backers, heavy scissors for cutting duct tape and the punching holes in the backer and installing grommets. Hopefully some of our seasoned target backer makers will show up for leadership on this. If we have the people available, we have a tree near the bathroom building that needs to be taken down. So pole saw and chain saws would be helpful to have. If we take the tree down we need to cut it into firewood size pieces for the center.

Please remember to bring all proper personal protection equipment: gloves, hats safety glasses and such.

If you have any questions or have any specialty equipment that we may be able to use please reach out to me via email.

Do we have any painters in the club? We would like to do some cleanup and painting down at the shotgun ranges(need both low and high houses cleaned and painted). We also need an HVAC technician to look at the building central air unit and do a service on it( it is currently working like it is supposed to).

BIG NEWS

Effectively immediately, the range noise restrictions on Sunday mornings have been lifted.  The range hours are now, with no restrictions, sunrise to sunset 7 days a week.   Remember that special events, like weddings, may call for a temporary cease fire for specified hours.  Check the club calendar before heading to the range!

Thanks to Kathy Guindon, the center’s executive director for lifting these random restrictions!
