Range fees will increase effective July 1, 2007. New fees will be $3 for members and $8 for non-members. Signs are to be posted at the range notifying people of the coming increase.

Plans for 2007 include new signs on the county road, 200/300 yard dirt work and target holders, south side tree replacement, gravel on 6-bench side, 13 matches, RO appreciation dinner, promotion of junior shooting, and up-grade LCWC booth for gun shows.

From President Rick Brigham: Thanks to all of you who attended the December meeting we have new Board members and Officers for 2007. Also many thanks to Dennis Schult and Marc Gomez for their very helpful past and continuing support as Board members, Range Officers and treasurer.

Phase I – the 200/300 yard target butts- was completed by Kenny Teats (brother of Burt Teats) using a large excavator on a very rainy, muddy December 14th. We’ll need to build concrete target holders when the weather is drier and warmer. The face of the 100 yard berm was also shaved to protect the steel pop-up silhouette mechanisms. Also the “sound chamber” between the office and 18-bench side was completed last week as well. Thanks to Frank Perkins, Joe Metz, and Dean Narramore for the “sound chamber”. Your president oversaw the dirt work.

A 2007 match schedule consisting of 5 CMP events, 8 Silhouette shoots, and 4 special classes has been approved. The schedule will be posted at the range.

The January meeting will feature Mike Demick and B.J. Lillibridge from Idaho Fish and Game, who will discuss the need for higher Fish and Game fees. Please plan to attend, learn and comment. The meeting will be held in Meriwether Lewis Hall room B32 on the LCSC campus starting at 7:30 PM on January 3rd.

This club is still woefully short of Range Officers. If you want to be one, please contact
Dean Narramore at 758-3279. It would sure lighten the load on the existing RO’s!
