The Shoot
From May through August a regular group of shooters has come out to challenge themselves with long distance shooting techniques to develop accuracy and precision. Bulls eye targets were shot at 500 meters and at 300 meters. The goal, to shoot the highest score with the smallest group size. Accuracy relates to scoring your shots on the bulls eye target while precision is measured by the diameter of your grouping of shots. The ideal would be to have the highest score within the smallest group.
The end of season 500 Meter Bench Rest Wind-up Shoot is scheduled for Sunday September 13, 2015. You are requested to pre-register for this event by calling Len at 633-6094 as space is limited. Sign-in will take place in the Trap Clubhouse Sunday morning at 10 am and registration fees of $5.00 per classification will be collected.
The Memorial
This event is in memory of Jim Strelioff, who was instrumental in keeping this shooting discipline active over the past few years and encouraged others to take up the challenge. His family invites friends and colleagues to come to the range after 5:30 pm to share some stories, some memories and some refreshments. The memorial gathering will take place in the main clubhouse.
There have been recent sightings of bears- black ones and brown ones- wandering through the various shooting range areas . Generally, they mind their own business and stick to the perimeter of the cleared range area, however extra care is required when getting ready to shoot at the long range rifle range as the animals can be hidden in the brush.
Members are reminded that all animals on the range are protected – we are still inside City limits! Do not shoot near them in attempts to scare them off. Call a cease fire and wait for them to move away. Also, remember to put any food waste directly into the dumpster so as to not attract these characters onto the firing line areas.
Take your time and scan the line before you start to shoot.
