Range Develoment On-going

-
As Club President, I recently signed Mark Craig's Eagle Scout Project Proposal.  His Project involves the construction of a covered bench at 200 yards for long range shooting.  Hopefully, this will provide more shooting opportunities for our members.
-
More shooting will require us to be more aware of safety in our activities.  We will need to make sure that all activities on our grounds blend together so that everyone has safe access.  We will need to cooperate with one another in our activities.
-
To open a discussion, a Page has been added to the topics posted at the beginning of our Blog.  It is titled "Range Info" and contains some ideas to generate discussion of the addition of this new section to our range and what effects it will have.
-
Please take a look and join the discussion by posting to the Comment Section.
-
Let us hear from you.  The main idea is to generate more activity in our Club.

Now It's Our Ammo They Want !

-
Here is a decent article about the proposed "ammo ban" you have probably been hearing about.
-
http://www.wnd.com/2015/03/firing-back-shootout-over-ammo-ban-gets-serious/
-
It is felt that this article is a good one to provide for the members to review because it summarizes not only the current situation, but delves into the history of the "green tip" and even projects into the future of possibly more ammo bans.
-
-
Notice how BATF has built their case on a false interpretation of the definition of "armor piercing" ammo.  The green tip does NOT meet the Law's (18 US Code Section 921) definition of armor piercing!  Their case ignores that fact and hinges on doing away with the "exemption for sporting use" that they arbitrarily assigned back in the 1980's when the law was passed.
-
Read this article, as well as others.  Then make up your own mind.
-
Also making this ammo ban note-worthy is the fact that it comes on the eve of a vast surplus of the green tips about to be released to the civilian market because the military is changing to non-lead ammo.  The ban would prevent this lower-priced ammo from being provided to the U. S. market.  Timing is everything!

All are entitled to an opinion, just do good research and get the facts before you make up your mind.  If you choose, contact information is provided at the end of the above article for you to have your voice heard on the matter.
