Sheffield Shooting
by Danny Creasy
April 5, 2012
The Range
We will have to cease shooting activities at the Sheffield Range by February 23, 2013 (check out the February 2012 Newsletter for details). A site committee under the leadership of James Day has been and is still considering dozens of sites for a new range. The club officers and directors met last month and set the following requirements for any considered property:
1. Located in Colbert or Lauderdale County
2. 25 acres minimum
3. Preferably possessing hills, ledges, etc to serve as a natural back stop for projectiles
4. Minimal to no close human occupation (personal or commercial)
When a site(s) is selected and a cost is negotiated, a club wide meeting will be announced via the club's web site and a rank and file mailing. A discussion and vote at this meeting will determine our next action.
Membership
If any individuals are still interested in joining the club, they need to attend one of the Saturday morning shooting matches and introduce themselves to a club officer and express their interest in joining the club. We will consider all qualified applicants.
Sanctioned Competitive Events
1. The United States Bench Rest Association's National Championship will be held at the range on Saturday, May 5th. Check with Tony Gilmore for details.
2. Dwight Pilkilton has received approval from the Civilian Marksmanship Program to hold seven sanctioned CMP Sporter Matches at the Sheffield Range. They will be held on the fourth Saturdays of months April through November.
Lost and Found
A VERY NICE SMALL AX WITH SCABBARD
A STAINLESS STEEL CYLINDER FOR A .22 MAGNUM REVOLVER COMPLETE WITH SIX ROUNDS INSERTED IN THE CHAMBERS
Calendar
April 7th - 50/25 Sporter Match
April 8th - Cowboy Match
April 14th - 25/25 Pistol Match and RFRF Match
April 15th - Defensive Pistol Match
April 21st - USBR Match
April 28th - Sanctioned CMP Sporter Match
May 5th - USBR National Championship
May 12th - 25/25 Pistol Match
May 13th - Cowboy Match
May 19th - 50/25 Sporter Match
