All Committees were asked to come up with a plan for 2017.  A discussion was held on what items need addressed in order to improve the Club for its members.  The following are a few of the ideas that were put on the table.

-

----- 1) Fish stocking

----- 2) Snapping turtle reduction

----- 3) Stain for pavilions (3) and ?? Clubhouse

----- 4) Repair roof on tool shed

----- 5) Repair overflow screens on breastworks of dam

----- 6) Add "structures" to lake for habitat improvement

----- 7) Place new duck boxes ( which we already have)

----- 8)      ?????

#8 is for "you" to fill in.  The Club will only go as far as the members are willing to take it.  Come on, get involved.  Find something you are interested in, and let's do it!  Please feel free to bring your idea (s) to a Meeting, call a Club Officer, or contact one of the Chairs.......

Here's something a couple of guys got interested in doing ---

-

Muzzle flash must be considered.

---- Night shooting, or low-light shooting.

-

Not all defensive shooting scenarios are going to take place in broad daylight--- good preparation requires practice in all conditions ----- 

Funny, it doesn't do that in daylight..

------ and unless you have been there, it could catch you off-guard........

Just A Reminder ....

-
The January meeting is this Thursday (12Jan2017). 
-
Just wanted to remind everyone that the meeting will be held at the Berlin Brothersvalley Middle School in the Vocational Agriculture Room.  Enter the door next to the greenhouse.  The meeting is scheduled to start at 7:30 PM.
-
The weather outlook for Thursday is not bad.  However, we all know (and love) Somerset Co. weather changes.....  So, our rule of thumb is that if school is canceled, our meeting is canceled. 
-
Just wanted everyone on the same page.
-
-
Along with our regular monthly business, Committee Chairs will be appointed for 2017.  Keeping with that topic, we will also try to develop an outline for projects in 2017.  Some ideas are already being discussed, and they will be further refined.  It is hoped that at least one idea will be initiated for each committee.  In this way, we will keep the Club moving forward.

ALL members are welcome.  Your input is important.

Be careful out there!
