March 2006 Newsletter

The March membership meeting will feature updated Range Officer training. Please, all of you who have accepted the responsibility of being Range Officers, attend if at all possible. Ken Jacks will go over the new cash register and run through a couple of scenarios, and there will also be a review of current RO duties. Your attendance will help make the range run better than ever.

Defensive classes to be held at the range this coming summer include Bill Jeans running a basic pistol class 6/24-25 and an advanced pistol class 6/26-28. Louis Auerback will be teaching a class 7/21-23, specific topic to be determined. For more information, contact Bill England at 743-4549 or england@lewiston.com.

There will be a CMP match held at the range Saturday, March 11. To sign up, or for questions, contact Ken Jacks at 798-3159 or kjacks@lewiston.com.

The Club still needs to find a person (retired surveyor?) who can run a survey transit to help stake out the target lines at 300, 385/400, and 500 yards/meters. Once they are staked, the total volume of dirt to be moved will be determined, and the Club can then seek funding for the work. The surveying needs to be done during the work week, so that regular shooting hours will not be impacted. If you can help in this, please call Rick Brigham at (509)751-0310.

Frank Perkins is heading up a range maintenance work party almost every Wednesday. In February, new shooting platforms for the CMP matches were carpeted. Next up to be done is an inventory of all the materials located behind the 100-yard berm to see what is usable. Volunteers are also needed to man the LCWC booth at the upcoming (mid-March) gun show at the Nez Perce County fairgrounds - call Frank at 743-2452.

The March membership meeting will be held Wednesday, March 1, beginning at 7:30 p.m., in Room B30 in the basement of Lewis Hall, LCSC campus.
