Courtesy of member Gail Fechter, we will be hosting a pistol permit pre-licensing safety course. This is the NRA Basic Pistol course that fulfills the safety training requirement for new pistol permit applicants in Erie and Niagara County. This is intended to be a “For Women Only” course, and will be taught by a female instructor. Interested persons should contact Gail Fechter (gfechter85@gmail.com) for more information and to sign up.
Congratulations go out to Ten X’s own Doug Scranton for shooting his first 100 target at last night’s Suburban Pistol League Match. Doug finished with a combined score of 279 – 8X placing him second on the team behind only Peter. Peter shot a mere 295 – 9X. My compliments go out to each of these two competitors, nice shooting! Our youth program started up again the first Friday in September. This year we are shooting all Fridays, with the first and third Fridays being our Instructional Program and the second and fourth Fridays being our Recreational Program (no shooting on the “fifth” Fridays). Both programs are off to a solid start. Fall activities and sports may have kept attendance down a bit more than we had expected and for next year we’re considering delaying the start of the program to October (still to be determined). For November and December our schedule will vary slightly. In November, the Recreational Program will not shoot on the fourth Friday (due to the Thanksgiving holiday) and in December the Instructional Program will not shoot on Friday December 21st and the Recreational Program will not shoot on Friday December 28th. Starting in January we’ll be back on our regular schedule. Our upcoming shooting days are as follows: Instructional Program: November 2nd and 16th December 7th Recreational Program November 9th December 14th There is no […] Continue reading Youth Shooting Update – finishing up 2018 and looking forward to 2019 
On Monday October 1, 2018 Ten X Shooting Club held the Stop The Bleed program at the indoor range. We would like to thank Barb Mann, Beth Moses, and Dianna Volt for taking time out of their busy schedules to teach this class. Around 20+ participants attended this class and received a certificate after the hands on training was completed. This class was held instead of the regular monthly meeting. I’ll skip the stuff about Summer soon ending and Fall being right around the corner. That said, September is just a week away and we’ll be resuming our youth shooting program on Friday, September 7th. Here are the updates and improvements we’re making/adding for this season: We will shoot every Friday from September through mid-May (with a few Friday’s off for holidays and “fifth” Fridays) Start time is 6:30pm (for new shooters in our Open/Recreational shooting, please arrive @ 6pm for a safety orientation)
The second and fourth Fridays (when we shot last year) will be for ALL shooters ages eight and up, and will be our “Open/Recreational” shooting days. This year we’ll be adding in BB guns, along with Pellet Guns. This is for our youngest shooters AND those who are not looking for more detailed instruction. Ten X member Dan DeKruger will be coordinating our Open/Recreational Program this year.
This year we’re adding what we’re calling “Instructional” shooting on the first and third Fridays. This will […] Continue reading Youth Shooting Starts September 7th Unfortunately, we did not have any youth shooters attend our first outdoor shooting date on June 11th. We realize that school exams were happening at this time, along with concerts, recitals, etc. Our next session is on July 9th, with a rain date of July 11th. If attendance is sparse or none, then we’ll cancel the session for August and resume with our indoor sessions starting in September. Speaking of our indoor season, starting this coming September, we will be shooting EVERY Friday, with a few nights off during the holiday season, and when there is a “fifth” Friday in a month. The program is evolving and the changes will allow for our youngest shooters (ages nine through eleven and older) to fire both BB and pellet guns, with a program in place that will have the shooters work to achieve certain scores. They will receive certificates and badges for each level they achieve. Thanks to Ten X member Dan DeKruger for taking on this program. Our shooters 12 and older will be able […] Continue reading Youth Shooting Update – June 23, 2018 Our indoor Youth Shooting season is complete. We will be shooting at the outdoor range on the following dates: June 11th @ 6:30pm (Rain Date: 6/13) July 9th @ 6:30pm (Rain Date: 7/11) August 13th @ 6:30pm (Rain Date: 8/15) This shooting will be smallbore (.22lr) so it will be limited to our shooters ages 12 and up. Our indoor shooting for all shooters will resume on September 7th. We have plans to expand to shoot every Friday starting in the fall and we’ll be offering both “recreational” and “instructional” programs, alternating weeks. More details to come as the weeks progress. 
Here are the pictures from the 2018 Awards Banquet that was held on Saturday April 28th. This year Tex X Shooting Club was represented very well with two tables and won the Ed Rose Memorial Trophy. The club finished first this year with 26 wins and 6 loses overall. Thanks to all those that came out for the banquet. 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. |
