May Membership Program

UNDERSTANDING THE BOONE AND CROCKETT CLUB

Most of us have heard of the national organization of the Boone and

Crockett Club, but we are not aware that some of our club members

are also members of that great and active club. One of those mem-

bers is our own Jake Shinner, and he will give our program for May.

Jake will tell us what the Boone and Crockett Club is all about. It is

amazing how far reaching are their activities and who are the men

and women that make up the membership. Lots of surprises and it

will be interesting to learn how their activities may actually affect us

and our club.

The Womens Shooting Alliance

Our next meeting will be on May 21st at 2:00 in the club house. We

expect to have great shooting weather so we will be having a short meeting and then head to the range. We will have some fun targets and some interesting, self directed drills for those who are more ex-perienced and we will be working one on one with those women who are brand new to shooting. This group is open to any woman over 18 who is interested in be-coming comfortable with their firearm. We welcome all women, no need to be a member of Field and Stream. Cost is $3.00 We provide a great learning environment for women wanting to learn more about shooting and safety. Becoming comfortable with the gun, proficient in safe gun handling skills and competent in shooting is our goal. Come on out and join the fun. After we shoot, we head on down the road to Sportys for some wings and beer. Its a ladies day out!

A Letter from the President

Better weather is finally in sight! This is the time of year where a lot of our

activities start back up again for the year and the ranges get busier. Some of our

groups have already started range clean-up and preparation for their events. I cant

wait to get back out and catch some bass on our lake. Its an exciting time year!

For those of you who attended the last membership meeting, we took a vote on the

membership dues increase. Effective immediately, the dues are now $70 for a general

member and $35 for associates. This increase will go towards our operating expenses

which continuously go up year over year. We have to continue to maintain our roads,

buildings, ranges, etc. Over the past few months I have spoken to many different clubs

all over the state. They each had their own little niche that made them unique but the

one thing that I noticed was how expensive some of them were for what was available to

the members. We still have one of the biggest bang for the buck right here at our club

and will continue to improve what we offer the membership.

I talked about this at the membership meeting but since not everyone who reads

the newsletter is able to attend the meetings Id like to say it again. When youre on

the ranges, please be conscious of your shooting positions and where your bullets are

going to land after hitting your target. We have made changes to some of the target

stands to ensure we are keeping our bullets on berms but we still need everyone to take

that extra second and check that the position you are shooting from and where your tar-

get is set that your bullets will still be safely landing on the berm. Shooting too low

increases the chances of the bullet hitting the ground and bouncing up on the berm.

It seems like every couple of weeks we get word of a potential shooting viola-

tion. Please pass this on to those who may not read the newsletter or attend the mem-

bership meetings. We investigate each incident and must take the appropriate steps to

ensure the violation does not happen again. We must all follow the range rules. They

are not in place to restrict anyone or take away the fun of shooting, they exist to

keep us and our neighbors safe. Communication is key! If you see someone doing some-

thing they shouldnt be doing at the club, educate them as to what the issue is and how

to correct it. If they are doing something so negligent, unsafe, or completely defying

common sense, let one of the directors know so we can address the issue. We want to

keep the club around for many generations and need all of your help to maintain a safe

and fun environment.

Reminder, the last membership meeting before summer will be in May. There will be

no membership meetings for the summer and then we will resume in September.

Have fun and be safe!

CPL Class

It was a big class! On April 20, and 21st we hosted

our latest CPL class with 24 students. Covering the

Personal Protection in the Home course provided by

the National Rifle Association, instructors Jim

Heidger, Joey Lee and David Anderson covered the

materials and Dick Vary provided the information on

the legal issues involved with carrying a concealed

gun.

It was a great day to shoot too! said Joey Lee who

covered the live fire portion of the class. We had all

students consistently hitting the targets and the

weather was great. A big thank you to those who

came out to assist on the range. We had five helpers

for the range portion of the training allowing for al-

most a one on one experience. With such a large

class, we broke the group into three groups for the

live fire training.

We will be looking at September for the next class.

As soon as we have the dates we will post in the
