Winter is coming... Actually it’s still here!!! It’s great to see so many people out and enjoying the range this winter, our large family of shooters seem to be willing to shoot no matter the weather, and for the most part we haven’t had any problems, but we’ve had a couple. I hate to harp [...]
I had a number of emails asking for clarification about the range rules, suggestions for more rifle racks, etc. So, without further ado... Approaching benches means, walking directly up to the bench, not walking past. During a cease fire you can absolutely walk past the benches, either across the shooting shed or to go [...]
It seems to need to be addressed every 3 or 4 months, and with our light rule set at AFGC, I wished it didn't need to be. Do NOT touch your guns, or approach benches with guns on them during a cease fire. Doing so is not only unsafe, it is against our rules. [...]
I am pleased to see Range 2 being so busy now that the new lights are up and running, I’ve received a lot of great feedback from members about the lights and how it was a long time coming, but they are all thankful for them being up and working now. We will hopefully [...]
It has finally happened! The new LED lights are now working on Range 2 and as a result Range 2 is now open until 10:00 pm for shooting on all nights that it is open (Archery Wednesdays and Archery Sunday excluded of course). So, how do you use the lights? It’s very simple. The [...]
I am back, finally. I would like to thank all the members of the board for all their hard work this summer and Dave and Linda for their hard work as well. I would especially like to thank Mark Porter for stepping up and running the meetings while I was gone. The significant amount [...]
Hello from Europe! As many of you know I am in Europe for most of the summer competing in matches every weekend, and sometimes midweek as well. So far in 10 weeks I’ve hit 13 major matches and had some practice sessions here and there. I’ve been in 12 different countries, and the ranges have been everything [...]
It seems that summer is already here with some very warm, if not hot, days hitting us already. This will likely mean more people out at the club enjoying the ranges which means it’ s a good time to review some range etiquette. First off, when you get to the range, please sign in, [...]
The AGM for 2016 has come and gone, I would like to thank everyone who came out to the meeting on Thursday, numbers were down a bit from last year, there were 79 in attendance, which I hope means people are happy with how the club is being run. If you do have any questions or [...]
Please note there has been a correction made to the President's Report in regards to the Board of Directors positions. It should read that a member must be in good standing with the Club for a minimum of five (5) years to apply for a BOD Position. Sorry for any confusion. Thanks! [...]
We’ve had a pretty easy winter at AFGC this year with the exception of the big windstorm, with mostly mild temperatures and some rain, which means we’ve had lots of members out using the ranges. With that comes a small increase in complaints about range etiquette. The most common complaint has been about people [...]
Tis almost that time of the year, for whatever celebration you celebrate, so pick one, and Happy whatever! Our expansion on Range 2 has been taking far too long, but we are getting there. Target stands are now installed at the 100yd and 100m lines. Most shooting bays have a stand at each distance, [...]
