Thanks to an excellent member turnout on Saturday (November 6th), the work party scheduled for November 13 is CANCELED!

Many thanks to all who came out on two cold Saturday mornings to help replace the 25-yard target supports.  Six new 2″ thick, twenty foot long, hemlock planks were drilled, coated with preservative and mounted — all in under two and a half hours!  An individual thank you to all of our volunteers will be printed in the December newsletter.

The next phase of the project involves disassembling, cleaning, re-greasing and reassembly of the 30 target spindles and their roller bearings.  Anyone interested in helping out can work on one or spindles at their leisure at home.  As the spindles are refurbished, they can be bolted to the supports or returned to the outdoor range for a later work party.  This aspect of the project will be discussed at the December meeting, so member with questions should attend for that report.

Lastly, our Chief Range Officer, Bruce Matthies reports that persons were observed shooting high [...]

Now, we need to see if we can duplicate it this coming weekend.  Six new planks have arrived at the outdoor range and we need workers to help remove the old turning target spindles and to drill the new planks.  If you can spare a couple hours Saturday morning, we would absolutely  be thrilled to have your help so we can complete this project before the snow flies.

We hope to start work around 9am.

If we can’t complete the project, we’ve scheduled another work date for the following Saturday, November 13.  If we complete the project, there will be an announcement on this website.

If you have any questions, stop by the open practice this coming Thursday, November 4th, which will start around 7PM at the [...]
