Instructors

The club allows instructors to use the old clubhouse range for qualification and shooting instructions Monday through Thursday only. We do not allow classroom instruction. Instructors are limited to two students on club property at one time and only one person shooting at a time. Instructors MUST provide the club with their certification as an instructor and a policy of insurance naming the club as an additional insured.
Failure to do so, and failure to keep insurance current and provide the club with a copy will result in termination of privileges.
Ranges
- Last Updated: August, 26 2024 12:17: PM August, 26 2024 12:17: PM
All indoor and outdoor ranges have remained open and operational during the summer. Range Officer coverage has been great outdoors and we thank all those who volunteer.
The Executive Board, along with the Planning Board, has, for the last year, been planning the expansion of the old indoor range by adding 8-9 new shooting stations, to include rifles. The design has been determined and we are having comprehensive plans drafted. In the interim, the planning board has been speaking with vendors and obtaining bids. We anticipate the entire interior of the range will be new, with new shooting booths, target carriers and backstop.

The executive board is always looking for members who want to join the various committees at the club. The finance committee is drawn from past executive board members or members who are professional in the field of finance. The finance committee advises the executive board on matters pertaining to the handling of club funds.
There is also an entertainment committee, membership committee and legislative committee. Please e mail the club stating your interest and qualifications.
Notice to Instructors

Instructors are reminded to submit updated insurance documents and certificates. Failure to do so will result in loss of privileges. The E-board is also discussing additional charges for instructors either in the cost of dues or a per person charge for use of the club. Possibly instructors could become range officers and assist with range officer duty if they are not doing so already.
