By Peter Vasilion, on September 16th, 2013 At the general meeting last week, the Club voted to have the family picnic following the last WNYOPL match of the season on Sunday September 29. We expect to kick off the event around 12:00 noon.
All are welcome, including spouses, significant others and kids. Bring your own bottle to keep or pass. Also members are encouraged to bring a side or a dessert to pass. The club will provide burgers, dogs, roast beef, corn and condiments and pop.
In keeping with the family friendly atmosphere, the range will be closed to shooting at the conclusion of the WNYOPL match until the picnic breaks up.
We will also have the Bills on the radio.
Hope everyone can make this fun annual event.

By Peter Vasilion, on September 8th, 2013 Duties of Block Officers By Roger Goergen, DDS
Arrive at the range at least one-half (1/2) hour before the starting time. Notify the Range Officer of your arrival The Range Officer will assign the targets that you are responsible for. If scoring is done down range, be sure you have proper scoring overlays and plugs with you. If at an outdoor match, be sure you have your staple gun, staples and tape for target repairs. At the command “Is the line ready?”, if a competitor is not ready call out “not ready”. When the competitor is ready to fire, hold the “thumbs-up” gesture so the Range Officer can see you. At the commend “Block Officers check the line for safety”, the Block Officer will approach the bench and check all guns for open slides or cylinders, magazines removed and chambers flags are in place. He will also check that the shooters are behind the [...]

By Peter Vasilion, on September 8th, 2013 In NRA Registered tournaments, there is usually an official NRA Referee assigned to each tournament. The Referee is present to address scoring challenges, range malfunctions (alibis), interpret rules, and assure the tournament is run according to the NRA rules. Strictly following the NRA tournament rules is important because only at Registered Tournaments can National Records be set. As long as range standards and rule standards are uniformly enforced, it does not matter whether the record score was fired at Camp Perry or the local range because the conditions are supposed to be the same regardless of the location.

By Peter Vasilion, on August 25th, 2013 Every match run at our Club requires an official Range Officer be present on the firing line at all times. The Range Officer’s primary duty is to ensure the safety of the shooting competitors and guests. The Range Officer’s secondary duty is to call out the shooting commands during the match and to ensure it runs smoothly. The Range Officer is the single most important volunteer position at matches and carries much responsibility.
1. Overview.
The Range Officer is essentially the supervisor of the match. The Range Officer is responsible for calling competitors to the line, giving the competitors range instructions, giving the official firing commands, keeping time, ensuring the firing line is checked for safety, giving instructions to and receiving reports back from Block Officers and Target Changers, and making on-the-spot decisions about valid or invalid malfunctions (also known as “misfires” or “alibis”). He or she is always watching for safety issues. Finally, the Range Officer will ensure that all equipment is [...]
