Twenty three new members were welcomed to the club at today's quarterly meeting.
Nick was given the go-ahead to find some T-1 steel for new targets. Anyone wanting to donate to the cost is welcome to give what they can.
There's been some damage done to club property and everyone is asked to keep an eye out for any people shooting what isn't a target- and to direct them to what is a proper target.
Also, on the grounds committee, there is always some minor repair that needs doing, so if anyone has the skill and tools, hop to it.

Remember: any time you have opportunity to volunteer your skills and expertise, no matter how great or small, it is appreciated by someone- usually your friends and neighbors, yourself and especially by your club. So please, volunteer any chance you can.
Remember: If it isn't a target, don't shoot at it- it just may be your car window behind it. Or worse. Be sure of your backstop: use only the bermed ranges.
Remember: Keep the gun empty till you're ready to shoot- and keep the muzzle downrange.
Remember: It isn't loaded. Or is it? Gosh... lemme look.
Remember: Have fun. It's your range, so take care of it like you enjoy it.
Ride fast, shoot straight.
