August 22, 2010 Newsletter

First, some public service announcements: Please park on the gravel in front of the pistol bays and the 5-Stand (east of the pistol bays). Leave the parking area in front of the 100 & 200 yard ranges open for club members that are using the rifle ranges. And please do NOT park on the grass.

Second item, the club road speed limit is 10 miles per hour. The Field Trials area has noted some cars exceeding the speed limit, especially after the Steel matches. But this applies to everyone. Some of the trustees have talked about pulling out an old radar gun to check your speed. Don't ask how they plan to pull you over if they catch you speeding.

Well, Mother Nature had her way this weekend and the Weather Channel completely missed the forecast on Sunday. Nothing like a little Lake Effect rain in August to make the targets wilt. We had  58 shooters and 19 reshoots for a total of 77 guns.

Here's the breakdown by division.

We had five (5) new shooters this month: Jane and Mark Easly, Aaron Addy, Greg Riviotta and John Sheehan.

If you still see a U for your classification, then maybe your membership has lapsed. USPSA has instituted a new policy. If you let your membership lapse for more than 60 days, you will lose your classification. If you want to keep your classification, please keep your membership current. Remember, if you sign up for (or renew) a USPSA membership at the match, you can shoot the match for free (that's like getting your USPSA membership for $25).

For the new members, when you receive your first issue of Front Sight, use the PIN on the cover to sign up to receive an e-mail notification when results are posted to the USPSA Local and Major Match results page. Our results are always posted to the USPSA Local Match Results first. It takes a little while to massage the junk HTML pages that come out of EzWinScore.

Don't forget to let me know when you change your membership type. I had two RO's change their membership and I found out when I went to update the classifications. That just slows down the process to post the scores. I have to stop and get confirmation of the membership number changes.

We also have Crooked Creek Conservation Club applications. Ask Bill, Ed or myself for one if you are interested in joining. We hold a pistol practice on Wednesday evening starting about 4:30~5:00 PM for members.

I still have Muff Sweats for sale. 1 pair is $14 and two or more are $13 each. See Atto, Ed or Bud at registration if you would like a pair or two.

Our next match will be on Sunday, September 26^th  at Crooked Creek in Hartsgrove. Setup will be on Saturday, September 25^th starting at 1:30 PM. You can shoot one gun after setup. And we will continue the practice of running one classifier each match. Now, you don't have any reason not to be classified before that big match.

Signups for Sunday start at 7:30AM. We will run two (2) squads on Sunday at 8:00 AM and 11:00 AM. Please arrive in time to register, gear-up and be ready to shoot at 8:00AM. I will try to design the stages to keep us on schedule so that you don't have to wait for the second squad. The last squad will help with teardown.
