Hunter Sight-In

Hunter sight-in starts Friday September 11th and

runs through the end of October. Special consid-

eration will be given for hunting calibers. Range

time may be limited if it becomes busy.

Those shooting non-conforming firearms may be

asked to use the Peil range if the public range is

full.

As always, volunteers are needed for this event.

So, if you would like to have a little fun and have

knowledge of how sighting in a firearm is, please

contact me or the office.

Mac Taylor, macavella@comcast.net

Help wanted!

We have a

Range Safety

Officer

Position open.

Call or email the

office

253-537-6151,

I want to thank the members who helped in putting out the fire on the

Member Range. Because of their quick response the fire did not spread to

the Hunter Education Building. The members are Paul Meeker, Garry Nelson,

Edward Abby, Michael Kingoina and David Morlan who had a small fire

extinguisher in his backpack go bag. Also, to Mac Taylor, Ron Austin and

Jim Narlock who showed up just after the first crew was wrapping up the

area. Rick Rogers, the RSO on duty, made the range safe so the efforts of

the members were not in jeopardy going down range to extinguish the fire.

Regards,

Greg Willis, 2nd VP

The .22 long rifle only FUN SHOOTS hopefully will

resume again in November and we will need VOLUNTEERS.

This is a once or twice a month only shoot and is great for

beginners or anyone of any age that wants to have some fun and

maybe sharpen up their skills. All you have to do is show up at 9am

to help out.

If you have questions call or email the office—253-537-6151,

TSC1933@outlook.com or Mac Taylor—macavella@comcast.net.

You’re all invited to our

campground/picnic

area to meet the can-

didates from the 2nd

and 25th Legislative

Districts on October 3rd

from 3:30pm-6pm.
