This is your notice of our annual dues meeting. The dues for 2025 are $120.00 and the work waiver fee is $200. Members who have not participated in a scheduled work detail or have not done alternate service to the club, as verified by a club Director, are subject to a $200.00 work waiver fee payable along with your dues.

There will be two opportunities for you to pay your dues and update your information. The first date will be Sunday, March 2nd from 12:00pm to 3:00pm. The second date will be Saturday, March 8th from 9:00am to 12:00pm. If you absolutely can’t attend either of these meetings, contact me to make arrangements to get your dues paid. You can send me an email at alaskody@gmail.com

All dues must be received by March 15th, 2025 to avoid a $25.00 late fee. Any member who has not paid their dues by March 30, 2025 will lose their membership and can be considered for new membership only upon new application. We ask that any member who does not wish to renew their membership for 2025 notify me in writing by mail or email and return gate, bathroom keys and gate card as soon as possible.

ATTENTION: ALL MEMBERS

We have recently completed installation of an audible and visual alert system. The purpose of this system is a simplified warning system to notify everyone on the firing line of the intent of someone to proceed down range to setup targets, change targets, remove targets, etc. Strobe lights, horns and switches are located near the middle of each canopy, and also in the front room of the bench house. There are also strobe lights and horns located on three of the walls in the action bays.

If you intend to proceed down range beyond the firing line (this includes going to the trap house), you must activate the system by activating the switch near your location. This will activate the system throughout the entire firing line. When activated, the horn will beep 5 times then be silent for about 17 seconds, and then the system will continue to cycle. The lights will remain flashing continuously until all the switches have been deactivated. Once the system has been activated and someone else decides to proceed downrange they must activate the switch near them. The system will remain active until all switches have been deactivated.

Once the system has been activated, all firearms shall be unloaded, placed on the bench, and chamber flags inserted. Shotguns shall be unloaded, chamber flags inserted and placed in racks. If in the action bays, and you are shooting a handgun, place handgun in your holster. If you are not using a holster then unload handgun, insert chamber flag, and place on a barrel or in a pouch. Rifles and shotguns being used in the action bays shall be unloaded, and chamber flags inserted and placed on a barrel or in a pouch.

Once the system has been activated, and your firearm has been made safe, the FIREARM SHALL NOT BE HANDLED. This includes working on the gun, adjusting sights, etc.

This system has been installed for your safety and the safety of others. Please abide by the rules and have a safe shooting day.

The Action Bays should once again support vehicles. The trench line has been compacted, gravel spread and leveled over it. Enjoy.

The Trap House is finally completed, tested and now in operation. The first group has gone through the Orientation, signed the proper paperwork and received a key to the Trap House.

The Downrange Alert System has been completed.

Problem at the range. Someone carried bricks, rocks or small boulders down into the Hi Power infield and left them there. IF YOU CARRY MATERIAL, rocks, bricks, etc. DOWN TO WEIGHT A TARGET FRAME DOWN, REMOVE IT WHEN YOU FINISH! We cannot dispose of all of the rocks, but we can start monitoring the cameras to see who is leaving these obstacles.

Having these shooting events helps us keep membership fees as low as they are. The work Waiver Fee helps when projects are taken on. Having a Work Day each month makes it easier for members to meet this obligation. Plus for those that cannot make it on any of these Saturdays, we can make arrangements to complete work requirement during the week.

I am still seeing paper and cardboard targets left hanging on the range frames. When you finish shooting, REMOVE YOUR TARGETS and properly dispose of them. Leave the range in better condition than when you arrived. As a member, this is your range, keep it clean. REMOVE YOUR TARGETS AND TRASH.

The Bench House card reader continues to act up, we are still working to resolve the problem with the Bench House reader. We are having trouble receiving the replacement parts, supplier has them back ordered; hopefully we can have it back in operation soon.

As always on match days the range is closed to all shooting activities for at least 2 hours prior to the start of the match, the exception is IDPA, which is 3 hours. The range is closed to all other activities until that Match Director gives the “All Clear”.
