This work required short notice closure of range 2 due to the lengthy approval process and weather conditions. Many thanks to our caretakers for arranging to get all of it done. On another [...]
Things are picking up at the club, most especially as we now welcome in a couple hundred new members to the facility. During this time please be patient with our new members and help them along if you see them making some mistakes on the range, jumping down someone’s throat is seldom the right [...]
Not a lot to report for the month of July, the ranges haven’t been as busy as I thought they would be once we reopened. My sincere thanks to our members for adapting so well to our Covid Procedures, it’s great to see everyone doing so. We are seeing our renters return finally, and [...]
