The Club was notified that long time member, mentor, and friend Marley Parks passed away on November 7, 2024.  Mar’s daughter told us that, as he wished, there would not be a memorial service.  He will be missed. Below are pictures when Marlee won the State Sporting High Power rifle match in 2018.

Come rain or shine

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

As many of you are aware, Hurricane Helena has caused widespread devastation, leaving thousands of people in urgent need of assistance. Families have been displaced, homes destroyed, and vital resources strained.

I are reaching out to ask for your support in making an individual donation to the Red Cross or any other reputable organization involved in relief efforts for Hurricane Helena. Your contribution, no matter the amount, will provide essential resources like food, shelter, and medical care to those most impacted.
