President’s Letter  Here's hoping that you all had a "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. The new gate didn't make it this winter, so we will be looking forward to spring time weather that allows it to be installed.  Overall we had a decent 2016 and we are looking forward to a better 2017.   Reference is made to Member Rules; 8 &9 : There are new outdoor rifle range target bases we have purchased the steel for at a cost of about $ 500. The labor to construct the bases was done by Technology Welding  at no labor charge.  Most of the damage to the bases was accomplished by individuals using the bases themselves as targets by those who wanted to see what steel core ammo could do. The mounting straps for the uprights were malformed requiring that the wooden upright to be driven in and out using mauls and 1/2 inch rebar rods.  The bases aren't approvedtargets and this kind of damage is criminal mischief .   Reference is made to Member Rule 11 ; Concerning alcoholic beverages and the penalty for non-compliance . Especially on the ranges whethershooting or not.

Election RecapShooting enthusiasts dodged a “major bullet” during the past election by defeating Hillary as President. While there were many factors that influenced the outcome, shooter’s votes likely made a major contribution to help Donald Trump win. We must keep in mind the fact that there are many politicians who still want to ultimately enact total gun confiscation. Please do not stop being politically active based on the outcome of the November 8 election. The NRA is still our best advocate for protecting the second amendment.
