Range damage and rules FINAL WARNING!
It has not been 4 days since the club had its "Clean-up Day" in which over 40+ volunteers and members cleaned the club up, that some people trashed the ranges and broke brand new target stands. The club greatly appreciates those that follow the rules and help maintain the club but the club Officers and B.O.D. have no more patience with those that disobey the club rules, both those rules that are posted on the ranges and the rules that YOU the member agreed too when you paid for your MEMBERSHIP. This is a club, if you don't respect the club, the rules or fellow members, you WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE. Damaging and trashing the club is only disrespecting fellow club members and those that volunteer to keep the club running. Without them, we would not have these great facilities.
Link at bottom of email to the club rules.
From this point on, any MEMBER found violating any of the club rules or acting in an unsafe manor by a club officer, member of the B.O.D., or Range Safety Officer, will have their use of the facility immediately suspended till that member goes in front of the B.O.D. and Club Officers and ask to have it reinstated.
Any "Non-member" found violating the rules or on the property not during an organized club sanctioned activity (e.g. Trap and Skeet hours, matches on the rifle/pistol range) will be issued a notice of trespass. Non-members are not allowed on club property except during organized events supervised by a Club Range Safety Officer. This is a requirement of our insurance carrier and legal liability.
Some common violations:
-Shooting shotguns on the rifle and pistol ranges at club target stands. The shooter MUST supply their OWN target stands for patterning and place those stands at the base of the impact berm and not in front of a club stand. Shooting birdshot, buckshot or slugs causes excessive damage and shortens the life of the target stands.
-Shooting bottles (of ANY material) on the range, clay birds, steel targets etc is forbidden. ONLY PAPER TARGETs are approved for use on the range outside of club sanctioned activities.
-Climbing the berms is forbidden. This is a SAFETY issue.
-Shooting Tannerite or other exploding targets is forbidden.
If you don't like the rules, you can come to an officer's meeting and share your concerns. These rules were put together for the safety of our fellow club members, our neighbors and requirements of our insurance company.
If you see a violation.. Please email the club president and let him know of any violations. You can simply let the officers know the license plate number and the rule violation or what was going on.
This is a CLUB and is made up of MEMBERS. People that trash our ranges and club grounds only cause excessive work by VOLUNTEER MEMBERS that keep the club running. If we lose volunteers because of this, the club will be forced to hire a property maintenance company thus doubling our dues. If you want to be more active with the club and volunteer, please contact our club president, Alan.
Its ALL members' RESPONSIBILITY to keep the range safe and clean. Damaging and trashing the club is only disrespecting fellow club members and those that volunteer to keep the club running.
