Sighting in 2011

Young and old get a turn.

Time for a donut and a cup of coffee before the next group.

Spotting scopes are necessary.

Again, due to the shortage of help, it was decided to hold "sighting in days" on just one weekend,
instead of two. Over fifty rifles come out to use the range October 29 and 30. The weather was
nice and everything went well. Workers got grilled hamburgers.

Repeat Club members who were out to assist were: Bill Hammond, Jim Richards, Dick Klinzing,
Bob Spoke, Bernie Stahl, J.D. Stainbrook, Lathan Houghton, Ken Schlueter, Gene Dessellier, John Nicholas, Dave Youngman, Bob Maki and Phil Markus.

Archery Range

This past summer, the Club rebuilt the Archery Range with a shed to enclose the new
target bales. We will also be able to cover the front during the winter time period. There was a lot of use this fall. Although signs have been posted NOT to shoot
broadheads, there has been one or two individuals who cannot read or assume that the sign
does not apply to them. Broadheads will cut the bale, whereas target arrows will not. If you would like to bring a deer stand and use with the power pole and bring a target deer, that is
what the pole is for.
This was the Clubs 2011 big expense item. Members who worked on this project were:
Bill Hammond, Dave Youngman, John Nicholas, Ken Schlueter, Jim Richards, Bill
Williams and Gene Dessellier.

the club grounds

We members of the board are hearing nice comments about how nice our Club grounds look.There is a very good reason for this. We have a great group of volunteers who enjoy riding the lawn mower. That group is: Jim Richards, John Nicholas, Dave Youngman, Robert Maki and Jerome Wiener. When you see them, tell them THANKS for a great job. Jim Richards is
pictured above on his steed.
