Range Safety:  Members are reminded that placing targets on the ground short of the backstop or on top of the

crossties is against club rules.  Ricochets can occur off the ground and damage to the crossties will occur from low

shots and bullet splatter.

Instructors Course on August 24th and 25th.  Scott Vandiver from Marietta, GA is the instructor.  There is space

available for additional trainees.  The cost of the course is $225.  If you are interested in participating, contact
