New Signage on the Range

Please take the time to check out the new signs being put up around the range.
It is a slow process, but displaying the "Range Rules" is important.
We are waiting on some parts and pieces before the 200 yard range area can be addressed.
So, stay tuned and stay frosty when using the range.

===== SAFETY FIRST =====

 

 

Good Thing Scotty had His Camera ------

1- Can you see them in the tree?

Scotty and I were standing at the 50 yard backstop when one of theses guys did a treetop flyover right above us.  To say it was impressive does not begin to cover the feeling of seeing that wingspan only 60 feet overhead.  And the colors --- wow!
-
Scotty was moving to get his camera as it flew out over the dam, and circled the dam once before taking the perch seen in the 4th image.
-
That is when Scotty pointed out the other, closer eagle, perched in a tree just across the dam from the 200 yard bench (Image 2).  He was clicking away as this 2nd eagle launched out over the lake, circled the dam and took a perch next to its partner (Image 3).
-
I cannot say exactly how long we watched and took pics, but it was quite the event for the two of us.  The pair finally took flight to the east, away from us, leaving us at the 200 yard bench with a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that being buzzed by a Bald Eagle is probably a once in a lifetime experience.  Not just one, but a pair.........
-
I sure hope others get to see them!

3- Does this help?

2- No words needed!

5- Different angle.

4-  Nice perch.

November Meeting Relocated to the Clubhouse !!!

PLEASE NOTE-----
The weather has been cooperating and the Clubhouse needs "winterizing" so, the November Meeting (12Nov2015) will be held at the Clubhouse.

The regular meeting will be held first and then the winterizing will be done.

One of the items on the Agenda is the nomination of Club Officers.  According to our by-laws, nominations are made at the November Meeting and voting will take place at the December Meeting.  All are welcome to come and take part in the process.  Also on the Agenda is the issue of fund raising which members have brought up.

What activities are YOU interested in doing?  Come to a meeting and get involved.  The more the merrier.  See you there!

A Hearty THANKS! -- to all Veterans

Unfortunately, this Blog does not get out there as far as I would like. 
-
Especially in this instance where I would like to extend a sincere thanks to ALL veterans. 
-
Thank you for your service and the sacrifices you made to serve our country.
-
A special thank you goes to our own members who are Vets.
-
I ask anyone reading this to thank a vet when you see them this month.  And, keep all vets in your thoughts.  We may not be able thank those who are gone, but taking the time to think of them, will keep their memory alive.
