Unwritten Rules of the Club

(UNWRITTEN UNTIL NOW)

1) AS A PAID UP MEMBER OF THE CLUB, YOU ARE ENTITLED TO COME OUT TO THE RANGE AND USE IT AT ANY TIME. IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THOUGH, THAT WHENEVER WE SCHEDULE AN EVENT, IT IS CONSIDERED A FUNDRAISER. THE EVENT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, WHEREAS WE ASK A DONATION IN ORDER TO SHOOT. SHOULD YOU ATTEND THESE EVENTS, YOU ARE EXPECTED TO DONATE AS WELL! (usually $3.00 a round and we usually shoot 50/50-half to the top shooter, the other half to the club)

2) AS A MEMBER OF THE CLUB, YOU ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE APPEARANCE OF THE RANGE AFTER YOU HAVE FINISHED USING IT. SO BE SURE TO PICK UP YOUR TARGETS AND SPENT CARTRIDGES OR SHOTGUN SHELL CASINGS. WE DON’T EXPECT YOU TO PICK UP THE .22 CAL. SHELL CASINGS, BUT WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO SWEEP THEM OFF OF THE CEMENT.

3) PLEASE DO NOT AFFIX YOUR TARGETS TO THE POSTS. IT IS A PAINSTAKING JOB TO REPLACE THESE POSTS AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN ALL SHOT UP! STAPLE OR TACK YOUR TARGETS TO THE FURRING STRIPS. IN CASE YOU FORGET YOUR TARGETS, THERE IS EXTRA CARDBOARD IN THE OLD OUTHOUSE BEHIND THE UTILITY SHED THAT IS THERE FOR YOU TO USE.

4) FOR CLOSER SHOOTING, USE THE PISTOL RANGE OR USE THE OLD POLITICAL SIGN WIRE FRAMES TO PUSH INTO THE GROUND AT A DISTANCE THAT YOU WANT TO SHOOT OR YOU MAY USE THE SMALL MOVABLE BENCH THAT IS OUT THERE.

5) DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, USE CEMENT BLOCKS OR OTHER MATERIALS TO SUPPORT YOUR TARGETS. BULLETS CAN RICOCHET OFF THE VERY HARD SURFACES MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS. DO NOT USE BOTTLES OF ANY KIND EITHER.

6) REMEMBER, THAT AS A MEMBER, YOU ARE URGED TO ATTEND AT LEAST ONE MEETING, EVENT, PICNIC, OR CLEANUP DURING THE YEAR OF YOUR MEMBERSHIP.

7) SAFETY IS OUR MAIN GOAL. BE SURE TO USE EYE AND EAR PRO-TECTION WHEN SHOOTING AT THE RANGE AND ALWAYS POINT YOU FIREARM DOWNRANGE.

8) THE COMBINATION TO THE GATE IS CONFIDENTIAL. AS A MEMBER OF THE CLUB, YOU ARE EXPECTED TO KEEP IT THAT WAY. THERE ARE COPIES OF THE BY-LAWS IN THE CLUBHOUSE IF YOU WANT ONE.

Range is closed for logging operations

NOTICE: The Range is closed during the logging operations.

That means, no shooting at the club grounds, while the loggers are working.

This is NOT negotiable!

Hopefully this will be over in 30 days.
