9. Do not leave targets on the ranges.  Trash is not to be brought to the range for use as a target. 

10. Report vandalism immediately, call the Sheriff Dept. when observed.

• Reminder: As in the past, NO firearm hunting of Big Game is allowed on Club Grounds.   Private homes surround our club land in all directions. 
• Please drive slow 
• (15 MPH  )when going by Mr. Joseph's house. Our goal is respecting his families presence there. 
• We have been doing a lot of work on the road as well and the slow speed will help keep it in good shape.
• Reminder. Please lock the gate upon entry to grounds and again upon leaving regardless of whether or not there are others on the range. 
•  
• Limiting Membership Numbers.  We now have 400 Members, and need to consider restricting Membership to keep the facility usable within it's limited space. Thank fully, it's been self regulating, and not everybody shows up at once. The shooting activities are spread out across Rifle, Pistol, and Shotgun, and divisions within those three disciplines helps keep things spread out. In the meantime , we'll do our best to accommodate all our Members, as best we can.
• Lawn Furniture.  Picnic tables, benches, gun racks, added and replaced as needed. 
•  There will be Signs Posted to support safe range usage, and prevent damage to the grounds, and range structures. The Rifle Range will not usually support full sized vehicles. It's a swamp, and has drain water running underneath it most of the year. Ruts made by vehicles venturing onto the Rifle Range make mowing nearly impossible. It takes years for those ruts to settle.  Don't drive on the Rifle Range, or any of the lawns, when the ground is soft.
