Well the dang ol' council has hindered the cowboy shooters with not letting us shoot our shotguns. Sure do love blasting away knockdown targets with a load but reckon it might offend them and get us kicked out before our time, so NO SHOTGUNS.
But Dwight told me our pistol caliber rifles are ok, so until he tells me otherwise we'll just do pistols and pistol caliber rifles.
We will set up on the 100yrd range at noon Sunday and the shoot starts at 1pm.
Bring ya eyes and ears and check us out if ya can't shoot with us.

What exactly transpired in order for us to use the scatterguns? This is what I added to the Club Newsletter this morning: Added by edit on March 9th:
Dwight and Reece met with the Mayor yesterday. They had a meaningful discussion about the range and the resolution. Some clarification reveals that the council wants us to have an enjoyable and safe last year in Sheffield and as to restrictions for this final year, they simply wanted us to cease the shooting of "centerfire deer rifles and military rifles" and that they have no intention for us to discontinue using our former rules as to guests at the range. So:
1. We can add back shotguns, pistol caliber rifles (like a Marlin .357 cowboy lever action), and muzzleloaders to the list of acceptable firearms.
2. As before, it is fine for a member to bring as many family members as they can control and up to two non-family members as guests. Remember, the guests are the member's responsibility and the member must accompany the guests the entire time while at the range.
3. The Sheffield Police will resume coordinating range use with the club. |

That is truly great news. Outside of an occaisonal lippy centurion I still believe we will have a great final year.
