It’s amazing how fast time flies. The

year is already half over and many of

the happenings and events of our or-

ganization are in full swing! I’m going to start off with a huge

thanks to our maintenance crew.

They have been doing a fantastic job.

Extra thanks to those of you who

mow and take care of the weeds, and

keeping up with them through all of

the rain we’ve had. Another big shout out to Michael

Blinkhorn and Rich Ries. They

worked their butts off in the kitchen

during our zone shoot in May. On the note of the zone shoot,

the Eastern Zone Shoot was a huge

success. Roughly 58,000 clay pigeons

were launched into the air with

about 175 attendees. The overall net

profit was around $8,000. We will be

hosting the Central Zone Shoot on

the 27th, 28th, & 29th of July. Neither

of these events, or any other trap

shoots we have, would be possible

without the tremendous amount of

help we receive from Jack Shroyer

and Taylor, our manager. They do so

much behind the scenes that most of

our members and customers do not

see. We have been continuing on our

routine maintenance of the traps, 5

stand, ranges, and lake, as well as tak-

ing care of the duck weed.

I want to address some concerns

that have been voiced about our

constitution and by-laws. A commit-

tee has been formed and has met to

rewrite our founding documents.

They have been working really hard

to bring them up to date. If you don’t know, our club was founded

in 1931. We’re approaching 100

years! A lot has changed in the

world during that time. Rest as-

sured, we are working swiftly to

make the updates and, if everything

stays on track, it will be in our fall

newsletter for your convenience, as

well as on our website. If you haven’t been to our web-

site lately, stop over and check out

please see Taylor in the office. She will be able

to write you a new card. I do not recommend

having another card mailed to you if you have

not received it yet. PLEASE come to our office

so we can ensure your card makes it into your

hands. Abby has been trying to combat this issue

by taking our membership system completely

online. Hopefully, by next year, you will be able

to pay your dues online, sign all forms with a

digital signature, and be able to print your card

out just like with certain NRA certificates or a

hunting/fishing license. It’s a very long process

to make sure that the online system works, but

it is still in compliance with our insurance regu-

lations. Of course, a pen and paper version will

still be available to you folks without comput-

ers. We will keep you updated on this process

as it moves along. I will close by asking for volunteers and

those who have ideas to bring forward. This

club thrives on its volunteers. It’s a members

club. If we don’t have our members and our

volunteers, this club isn’t going anywhere.

Please consider coming to our events and

fundraisers as they happen, or even coming in

to run an event. We appreciate all efforts

made. I know it isn’t said enough, so if you

haven’t been thanked for your efforts lately,

THANK YOU for all you do! I personally ap-

preciate everything you do to make this club

thrive. Best regards, Joe

********************************************** Club Policies General

First – Sign in! The log books provide us

with valuable information on the operation and

usage of our activities. It is also mandatory

that you sign in when using the rifle range, pis-

tol range and don’t forget the lake. Second – Wear your badge! You are

required to display your badge when utilizing

the Pistol and Rifle ranges, fishing in the lake

and camping on the grounds. You are not re-

quired to display your badge on the trap or

Page 2 North Lawrence Fish & Game Club

sporting clays ranges, turkey shoots or other

open the public activities. When camping it is

sufficient to have your badge in your possession

or displayed somewhere at your campsite.

Third - Do not open the gate for any-

one that cannot not produce a current

year membership card (badge). If they

have their card with them then they will know

the correct combination…

Pertaining to our rifle and pistol ranges..

Everyone was recently notified that we have

temporarily restricted the use of steel targets

on our ranges. As I stated in the notice, please

understand this was not a decision that was made lightly. We have a responsibility to all club

members and our local communities to ensure

our range operations are conducted in a safe

and secure manner. Our safety record is out-

standing and it is our intention to maintain that

record.

We are already working on range enhance-

ments to allow us to return to using steel tar-

gets. Be aware that violation of this directive

will be taken extremely serious and loss of

membership is a very real possibility! We will

notify everyone when steel targets are once

again allowed to be used.

Range Policies and Etiquette:

Our ranges provide a safe and enjoyable

place to practice with your firearms. We pro-

vide a safe backstops for bullets providing that

shooters position their targets properly and

follow commonsense safety rules. Remember -

shooting at our ranges is a communal activity.

Loaded firearms demand concentration and re-

spect. Every shooter at the range expects safety

rules to be followed and conduct to fall within

the bounds of accepted range etiquette.

Rifle & Pistol Range Rules

The following safety rules have been

established to ensure the health and safe-

ty of those individuals who use or fre-

quent this facility and the community at

large.

All persons at the ranges must comply

with all safety rules. Failure to follow the

rules as stated will result in disciplinary

action and may result in loss of member-

ship. All persons using the range are lia-

ble for improper use of the range and

firearms.

General Rules

Use of the range is during daylight hours on-

ly and must be after 9 AM. The range will be

closed on Christmas Day, Easter Sunday, and

during other prescheduled events. Each person is responsible for the complete

removal of their live and dud ammunition from

the range facility upon completion of range use.

All empty casings should be swept off the con-

crete towards the firing line with the push

broom or taken home.

No alcohol or drugs are permitted on the

ranges. No shooting under the influence of alco-

hol or drugs. No misuse of prescription drugs.

Prescription drugs that have cautions for driving

a motorized vehicle should apply as a caution

against using the range.

No shooting at animals, birds, or other wild-

life.

You must have your NLFGC membership

card visibly shown. You must sign in to the reg-

istration book.

Concealed carry firearms must remain hol-

stered while at the rifle range.

Safety equipment must be appropriately

worn when you walk into the pavilion. This in-

clude safety glasses and adequate ear protec-

tion.

All accidents that involve people and prop-

erty must be reported as noted in a separate

bulletin that is specific to accidents. All contact

information is listed at each range pavilion.

Club members are responsible to read and

understand published and distributed range

rules. The range rules are available online and at the range pavilions.

Firearm Safety Rules

All gun safety rules as recognized by the

NRA and National Shooting Sports Foundation

must be followed. The rules as stated in this

document do not override the rules of these

organizations but are meant to expand and

highlight these rules for the club members.

You must follow the 5 second rule between

shots. Automatic or “Bump Firing” is prohibit-

ed.

The muzzle of your firearm should always

be pointed in a safe direction.

Your finger should be off the trigger until

you are on the firing line, your firearm is point-

ed at your target, and you are ready to shoot. Muzzles should always point down range.

When you are packing up to leave and you’ve

unloaded your firearm, the muzzle should be

controlled and pointed in a safe direction – UP!

No handling loaded firearms behind the yellow

safety line. This includes carrying firearms to

and from the range pavilion with the exception

if the firearm is inside a carrying case.

Firearms may only be fired behind the red

safety line.

All actions must be open while behind the

yellow safety line.

Use precaution with new firearms or fire-

arms that may be challenging. Do not allow rel-

atives, friends, minors, or guests to use fire-

arms that may prove difficult to handle. You

are responsible to understand the operation of

the firearm that you are using and responsible

for reading the safety information for your fire-

arm, using a firearm at the range makes you

liable for damage to property or injury. If you

cannot control your firearm, you should not be

shooting it.

Shooters are responsible to know where

their rounds are going. All rounds should be

into the back stop or foam insulation board

(rifle range). Rounds hitting the flat land in front

of or below the intended target are not permit-

ted. Ricochet rounds are not permitted. Shoot-

ers must correct any non-permitted condition.

Caliber and Type Specific Firearm Rules

50 Caliber BMG can only be used at the 200

yard targets. Other 50 caliber type rifles may be

used at other distances on the range.

Shotguns are allowed only if using a single

projectile similar to a rifle. Buckshot is not al-

lowed anywhere on the premises.

Minors using the range MUST be su-

pervised while handling firearms.

You must actively supervise minors (under

18) while they are handling/shooting any fire-

arm. If the minor is shooting, you are not. You

are to be supervising!

You must actively supervise minors who are

not handling/shooting firearms at any location. While at the range locations (and immediate

surrounding area) there will be no running,

climbing on tables or shooting stands, etc. No

minors are to be down range without being ac-

companied by an adult.

Guest Rules

As a club member, you are responsible for

the actions of the guests you bring to our club.

This definitely includes firing range activities. As

with a minor, it is your responsibility to accom-

pany and monitor your guests at all times while

they are on club property.

Member sponsored guests must complete a

guest form and pay the posted fee prior to using

the facility.

Target Rules

Paper targets are the ONLY allowed targets

on our ranges. NO OTHER TYPES OF TAR-

GETS ARE PERMITTED ON THE RANGES.

This comes with the exclusion of club sanc-

tioned events.

Paper targets can only be mounted to the

target boards, such as card board (pistol range)

or foam insulation board (rifle range). No paper

targets are allowed to be posted to any other

structure, or to the frame of target stands.

Target placement is critical, and all members

are responsible to fully understand the correct

location and height for targets on the range.

The only target stands allowed will be

NLFGC target stands, or any target stands be-

longing to members that meet our specifica-

tions. Target height is critical, and the stands

can only be made from wood or PVC.

Your shooting position must be directly in

front of your target. Shooting across lane is

strictly prohibited.

Targets for the 200 yard lane must be

placed at 200 yards. No other distance is al-

lowed for this specific lane.

You must use the appropriate shooting sta-

tions that are provided within the pavilion to

ensure you are shooting at the correct target. No targets closer than 50 yards on the rifle

range.

Shooting from the entry point to head down

range is prohibited at both ranges. These are

the areas protected by a PVC movable barrier.

Cease Fire and Target Check

No handling of firearms at the pavilion or

firing line during a cease fire or when people

are down range to change/check targets.

Any time a shooter is down range or it is

not safe to shoot, you must use the down

range/cease fire mechanism (PVC pipe with

drop down signs and walk way barrier) to signi-

fy it is not ok to shoot at this time.

Open all actions, lay the firearm down

on the table, and step away. Action/

chamber open & safety on.

A “cease fire” is a direct command. If a

cease fire is called, all participants are to put

down any firearms currently in hand, action

open, and to take a step back away from them,

and use the down range mechanism. A cease

fire can be called for any reason.

Any person can call a cease fire at any time

an unsafe condition is observed. All participants

must honor this by putting their firearms down

with the chamber open and the safety on.

A cease fire ends when either the cause for

the cease fire has been cleared, or when all par-

NOTES

Sanctioned matches or shoots may have dif-

ferent rules or may allow variance from these

rules. The sanctioned range masters must get

prior approval by the Board of Directors for

rule modification during their specific event.

The pistol range can be used as a starting

point (25 yards) for sighting in rifles and slug

guns.

ON THE PISTOL RANGE ONLY: Double

tap is permitted, limited to 2 rounds, for the

purpose of Concealed Carry and practicing self-defense. ABSOLUTELY NO QUICK

DRAW.

These rules were updated and approved by

the Board of Directors on March 13th, 2018.

The NRA BUNKER

By Ed Harhager

“FREEDOM’S SAFEST

PLACE”…..THE NRA Don’t Wait…Please Join To-

day!!!! "Are we at last brought to such humiliat-

ing and debasing degradation, that we cannot be

trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the

difference between having our arms in possession

and under our direction and having them under

the management of Congress? If our defense be

the real object of having those arms, in whose

hands can they be trusted with more propriety,

or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?"

Patrick Henry

American Patriot

The Good News… The NRA has recently announced that

membership has increased to nearly 6 million peo-

ple. Congratulations to our countries largest de-

fender of our 2nd Amendment rights. Lt. Col. Oliver North is the new president

of the NRA. He was appointed to lead the fight

for our 2nd Amendment rights. As you know, the

anti-gun groups are in full assault mode to control

our firearms out of existence. Lt. Col. Oliver

North is a fighter and will be a great president of

the NRA.

Anti-Gun Legislators If you believe that the anti-gun crowd only

wants sensible gun laws and is not about confisca-

tion of our firearms, you only need to read the

two examples below.

Recently, Rep. Eric Stalwell of California

has called for the United States to ban the posses-

sion of military-style semiautomatic assault weap-

ons. Swalwell said the government should also

buy back any existing “weapons from all who

choose to abide by the law, and we should crimi-

nally prosecute any who chose to defy it by keep-

ing their weapons.” The Chicago suburb of Deerfield, Illinois

voted recently to ban the possession, sale, and

manufacture of assault weapons and large capacity

magazines to “increase the public’s sense of safe-

ty.” What’s more, CBS Chicago reported that

anyone refusing to give up their banned firearm

will be fined $ 1,000 per day until the weapon is

handed over or removed from the town’s limits.

Ohio Firearm Legislation Governor John Kasichs’s commissioned a

study of gun safety following a series of school

shootings. His primary focus was to ban semi-

automatic firearms in Ohio. The commission

compromised to what is shown in the following

legislative bills. Two, recently proposed anti-gun laws

have been presented in Ohio: one in the house

and one in the Senate. They are nearly identical

in their content. They both destroy due process

and allow for gun confiscation. They both tie

Ohio’s state code to the Federal prohibited fire-

arms list enabling any anti gun president to ban

AR-15’s and other firearms for the people of

Ohio. Ohio House Bill 585 was initiated Nov 15,

2017 by Mike Henne (R). (as introduced) Ohio Senate Bill 288 was initiated April 9,

2018 by John Eklund [R] and Stephanie Kunze [R].

(in committee)

A summary of the two bills content: Allows police to take a persons firearms if a

court decides there is evidence that he/

she poses a threat. This is a threat to due

process under the law.

Orders clerks of court to upload into the

background database, on a weekly basis,

the names of people barred from owning

guns because of a history of violent crime,

drug use or mental illness.

Cub Scouts, Pack 933 Cubmaster Kim King

As our scouting year winds down for

the summer, I am proud to say that 40 out

of 42 scouts earn their rank with 4 of those

scouts crossing over to Troop 933. With

summer approaching, we have plenty of fun

planned for our summertime activities. In

May we participated in the North Lawrence

Memorial Day Parade where 28 out of 38

scouts threw candy to those standing along

the parade route. In June the scouts will

attend Hetuck District Day camp and We-

belos Resident Camp (WRC) at Seven

Ranges. July holds more fun and excitement

while attending the M.A.P.S museum. In Au-

gust the pack will have a weekend family

campout where we will hold a scavenger

hunt! As September rolls around we will

recruit new scouts at our “Join Scout

Night” to get the scouting year started. If

you know anyone interested in joining the

pack please have them contact Kim King at

330-705-7397.

Adopt into Ohio law the federal definition of an

automatic weapon. If we have an anti-gun

president in the future, then they could de-

termine that AR-15’s should be banned at a

federal level then Ohio law would follow

the same ban.

Takes away the right to buy or possess a gun if

a person is convicted of domestic violence

or subject to a protection order.

Outlaw armor-piercing ammunition in Ohio.

Increase the penalty for buying a gun for some-

one who is barred form owning one. The

penalty would be increased from 18 months

to 10 years of prison time. Ohio Senate Bill 260, initiated February 20, 2018 by

Skindell (D), Tavares (D), “prohibits a person from

knowingly acquiring an assault weapon; requires

Attorney General to have a database for firearm/

ammunition sales.” The bill defines an “assault

weapon” as a firearm capable of a fixed or detacha-

ble magazine with the capacity of 10 or more car-

tridges. You can follow Ohio’s firearm legislative

proposals at the following web site: legiscan.com/

OH Please consider joining the nearly 6 million

members who now belong to the NRA. Your

membership supports our North Lawrence Fish &

Game Club but more importantly you will be sup-

porting all of our second amendment rights. Please

remember that “The NRA needs YOU” be-

cause we grow one member at a time. Don’t think

that your membership is too small to matter. Join

today and join the other 5 million members of the

NRA.

NRA Membership Information: The NRA offers good deals on new memberships

from time to time. They have been offering new

memberships at discounted prices for one, two,

three and five year terms. Multiple years of new

membership is a great deal because you secure the

bargain price over each of those years. In addition, you get lots of free stuff, including in-

surance on your firearms and a magazine subscrip-

tion.

NLFG Retirees Club…Jeff

Barnhart president By Ed Harhager The Retirees club has had a very successful spring

season and we are all looking forward to our

summer meetings. More people are hearing of

the fun at this meeting and our turnout is surely

growing. A few highlights from our spring meetings are

noted below: Dennis Earl recently purchased a primitive

long bow with arrows which he brought

to the March meeting. The design is from

Native Americans of the North Eastern

Delaware tribes. It had a unique design

painted from earth paints that were au-

thentic to the period. It was designed to

25 # draw with a draw length specific for

Dennis. The bow is made of hickory and

the tapered arrows were made of Lodge

Poll pine with turkey feather fletching.

This bow uses the “Archers Paradox” as

do most long bows for directing the ar-

rows to the target. “Google it” if you

aren’t aware of this phenomenon.

The Retirees voted to contribute $ 50 for a

plaque to honor Veryl Tersky and his fam-

ily.

The group brought their favorite calls to the

March meeting for a mix of vocals from

turkey to crow.

Our April meeting set a new attendance rec-

ord of 46 attendees.

John Olenzac presented a portion of his 2,000

piece Indian artifacts collection at the

April meeting. The collection included

“bird point” arrowheads, large game ar-

rowheads, chipping and scraping tools,

ornamental pieces that depict a hierarchy

within the tribe, weight artifacts for fishing

nets, a war head and much more. The

most interesting piece was a spearpoint,

estimated to be 2,000 – 3,000 years old,

that was awarded 1 st place for a “Field

Find” by the archeological society. A large

part of the collection was found in the

Fox Lake area, on the east side of Wayne

county.

Jeff Barnhart displayed a petrified heart, found

in Texas, which was estimated between

10,000 and 1,000,000 years old. It was

large in size, from an unknown ancient

species. The Retirees club meets on the first Thursday of

each month in the club house at 10:00 AM. No

cost to join us. We even have free donuts and

coffee…surely beats the McDonalds retiree club.

No reservations required, just show up and have

a good time. All in all, it’s just a bunch of “Good Young Boys”

getting together to tell their stories and have

some fun at “the club”. We have a 50/50 raffle,

we have a show and tell each month, and we tell

some very interesting stories. Come try us

out!...We can use some new stories!

Sporting Clays:

The 5 Stand Range is now up and running! We

have a schedule for shoots which will be posted

The plan is to eventually have it set up so one

can shoot anytime when the Trap range is open.

We hope to get this accomplished by Mid July.

Also, there has been an inquiry on setting up

League shoot, once we get enough interested

shooters we will start a league .

The Schedule for the next shoots is as follows:
