To Club Members:
As you probably know, an unknown user of our rifle range recently
ignored basic safety procedures and fired shots that exposed club
neighbors to physical hazard and the club to legal hazard.
As a result, no shooting is now allowed at the club unless a Range
Officer (RO) is present. This interim measure will enable club members
to prepare and practice for hunting season this year while new safety
rules are developed.
Volunteer ROs will open the range for blocks of time in coming weeks.
The pistol pit is closed unless an RO is specifically covering it. The
shotgun clay thrower may be used when the rifle range is open.
If you have questions about this, please contact the club secretary.
