At the risk of jinxing spring, it looks like the snow has finally melted! Which brings us to the May 2018 Newsletter. But first a reminder: the next General Membership meeting will be Monday, May 7, 2018, at 7:30 pm at the Indoor Range at 853 Ransom Road. […] Continue reading May 2018 Newsletter On April 19, 2018, and May 15, 2018, we will be hosting a special youth shooting night for a pair of local Scout Troops. On the 19th, the UPSTAIRS indoor range will be restricted to the youth shooting event and the Girl Scouts. The downstairs range will be open for the regular Thursday evening open shooting. On Tuesday, May 15th we will be hosting a special youth shooting night for a local Boy Scout Troop. Open shooting will be unavailable to the general membership that evening. Our Youth Shooting program continues to grow and these special sessions are another way we are introducing the youth of our community to shooting in a safe and educated environment. Our goal is that shooters who attend these sessions will return to participate in both our open youth shooting program and even consider our newly established Competitive Team. 
The Indoor Range Improvement Committee will have its first meeting of of the year this coming Tuesday – March 20, 2018 – at the Indoor Range. The meeting starts at 7:30 pm. The Committee is meeting to discuss what improvements and construction projects should be on the Club’s priority list. We expect the meeting to last an hour. Any member interested in contributing ideas about what our priorities should be for improving the indoor range should consider attending this meeting. You do not need to be on any of the League teams or on the Board or any other committee to contribute. We are looking for a broad range of interests. There will be an informational meeting regarding the formation of a Smallbore (22lr) and Air Rifle competitive youth shooting team represented by Ten X on Wednesday, March 28th @ 6pm at the indoor range, which is located at 853 Ransom Road, between Walden & Broadway in Lancaster. Prospective shooters are asked to please bring at least one parent or guardian to the meeting. We are happy to announce the Mr. Leif Johnson, the Rifle Team Coach at Lancaster High School has agreed to be the primary coach of the program. Other members of Ten X will assist, including several who have shot competitively for many years and/or are NRA certified instructors or coaches. The purpose of this meeting will be to introduce shooters and their parents/guardians to the club and to Coach Johnson. While we have some ideas as to what the team can do, we want the input of those “founding team members” so that we offer the kind […] Continue reading Ten X Youth Rifle Competitive Team Organizational Meeting to be held March 28th UPDATED 3/4/2018 12:00 The NRA National Indoor Championship Sectional Match at Ten X is concluded.

IF YOU HAVE A PISTOL PERMIT, YOU MUST RE-CERTIFY NOW
You must obey the laws. This is a simple statement and it is true even when the law is flawed or unjust. People had to obey the law regarding Prohibition and many did not do that. However, it was the law during the Roaring Twenties and it caused great confusion, corruption and destruction. If you made alcohol, transported, sold or possessed it, you committed a federal crime. It was a constitutional amendment and a serious crime. The big problem is that a high portion of our population didn’t like the law, didn’t obey it and it made organized crime more profitable. It was an abject failure and was finally repealed. It made criminals out of “formerly” honest citizens. It also provided the funding for corrupting politicians and law enforcement as well as making the bootleggers and criminals rich. One would think that politicians would have learned […] Continue reading If You Have a Pistol Permit, You Must Re-Certify Now We are happy to announce that the Ten X Youth Shooting Program has received an NRA Foundation grant for the second year in a row. The NRA Foundation awarded our program with Five Ruger American .22LR rifles with magazines, five Champion’s Choice shooting mats and five offhand stands. The total value of the grant is over $2,600! Combined with our 2016 grant, we now have eight .22LR rifles for our program. This will allow us to grow the program beyond air rifle shooting. This is especially important now that the Section VI high school sports organization has decided to only offer air rifle shooting for those high schools with rifle teams. Ten X will be able to serve as one of the only places in the area where young shooters can continue to improve their shooting of rimfire rifles.

Rob Ortt, R-North Tonawanda, called on Gov. Andrew Cuomo to delay the NY SAFE Act’s pistol recertification deadline. As outlined in the NY SAFE Act, pistol permitholders who fail to recertify their license by the Jan. 31 deadline will have their license revoked. “Pistol permitholders need to be aware that this deadline is approaching quickly,” Ortt said. “Individuals who are caught with a pistol and an outdated license will be subject to prosecution as outlined by the NY SAFE Act.
