Work Party

Tri-Cities Metallic Silhouette Association Posted on by

There will be a work party on Saturday, March 15, 2025 (the Ides of March). The goal will be to adjust the target holders at 25 yards and 50 yards on the fifty-yard range to align with the recently installed covered firing line.

There is a total of 26 holders to move and they are all in soft sand, no hard digging, just bring your favorite shovel.

The work party will start at about 0930, immediately after the CMP Rimfire Sporter Games Match. If you plan to attend the work party, come early and shoot the Sporter Games. As the name implies, it is a match for sporting .22’s. Rifle used include bolt action, semi auto’s (10-22), lever guns, and pump guns. Nothing fancy, any sights. 60 rounds for record plus sighters. You will shoot prone and sitting from 50 yards and offhand from 25 yards. It is all free.

Come rain or shine

Tri-Cities Metallic Silhouette Association Posted on by

We are excited to share some fantastic progress at the 50-yard rimfire range! Over two work parties, members installed the framework and sheet metal. This Sunday seven members worked six hours to install the sheet metal on the three canopy frames. This installation is a game-changer for our range, ensuring that shooting during inclement weather—whether it’s rain, snow, or intense heat—will be much more comfortable for everyone.

The uneven terrain presented some challenges, making it difficult to get everything perfectly plumb. But thanks to the determination and teamwork of those involved, the project has come together beautifully.

A big thank you to everyone who attended these work parties and contributed to this important improvement.

Work Party Oct. 13th

There will be a work party on Sunday, October 13, 2024, starting at 0900.  The goal is to install the roofing on the 50-yard carports.  There will be two more agile members to climb ladders to do the fasteners.  We can use some members to hand up materials.  If you can go up and down a ladder to install fasteners, you are welcome too.  Installers will need a ladder; the peak of the roof is 8.5′.  You will also need a nut driver for the self-tapping screws.

Thanks

Gaylord
