Membership Renewal and New Member Induction Update
After the last handful of new members receive their safety briefings next Sunday afternoon (1:30 PM on 4-3-11), the renewal and induction process will be complete for 2011.
Thanks to all of the officers, directors, and members that volunteered to help with this task.
The officers want to apologize for the longer than usual renewal lines at the key meetings. The hold up was the club roster update station. Thankfully, this will not have to be repeated next year. Our database is now complete and accurate. Only the names and addresses of the current members are included and all of the former members are purged. Thanks for your patience and cooperation.
Range Improvements
The club still plans to have some improvements made to the berms. The road, parking lot, and heavy foot traffic areas could all use a load of crusher run. These issues are being discussed at present.
Important Date
The United States Bench Rest Association's National Championship Match will be held at the Sheffield range on Saturday, May 7th. The entire range will be closed that day for regular shooting. Please come and check out this event and please take note that we will be running some of our local rimfire matches to the left of the 100 yard rifle range for the benefit of our out of town guests and the regular club members as well. It will be a great opportunity to observe our diverse field of rimfire events and if you want to bring a .22 rifle, you can participate. Of course, the USBR Match has an entry fee but the side matches will be free. For a description of these rimfire shooting games and the firearms appropriate for them, please check out this thread:
