The club is planning on developing a master plan to improve club operations, facilities, and membership. This plan, developed over the next several months, will address needed and desired capital improvements to all club facilities, enhance club operations, and increase membership participation in club activities.
If you wish to be part of this effort attend the November 2012 club meeting and help us initiate this strategic initiative.
The club is updating the range rules to reflect restrictions on types of targets and simulated automatic weapons firing (bump firing). Due to noise concerns the club will prohibit the use of exploding targets on all ranges. Some of the larger exploding targets have the possibility of disturbing the clubs neighbors. We intend to specifically prohibit simulated automatic weapons firing, sometimes called bump firing. This firing technique does not permit controlled and aimed weapons fire. Given the tight confines of our ranges and the need to ensure all rounds impact within the designated range area and inside the berms simulated automatic weapons fire, sometimes called bump firing, is prohibited.
