the club.
• Duane Sipe asked permisssion to allow his
h Scout troopp to use variouss ranges occasiionally on Monndays throughoout the season.
Since the membership
m
views young shoooters in generaal as the futuree of the sport, thhis was approvved.
• The windoows on the skeeet range housess were found open, with the target
t
throwerss left cocked annd loaded. Thiss is not only
dangerous,, but is also bad
d for the springgs that power the
t throwers. Disarm
D
all throw
wers and close the windows after
a
use.
• Tim Drum
m reported that full
f auto fire toook place on thhe range duringg the last CC cllass, and a pile of bottle neckk cases was

w in disagreem
ment with the
