Anderson County Sportsmans Club

We had 17 people join at the June 12h meeting and must now suspend accepting applications for new members or renewals of past members. Your next opportunity to join will be January 8th, 2009.

Note to current members: On October 1st we will begin accepting membership renewals for 2009 and the locks will change on January 1st. I strongly recommend you don't let your membership lapse. With the increased intrest in our club you may not be able to renew your membership if you wait too long.

This year's scholarship winners were announced at the May 8th general membership meeting. The winners each received a check for $500 to be used to offset college expenses. The winner of the Wayne Murphy scholarship was Vanessa Denham, daughter of Paul and Claudia Eldridge. The two annual scholarships went to Olivia Woodrum and Matthew Stidham.

UPDATE: At the April Directors meeting it was decided by unanimous vote to also close the Silhouette Range during the 3D Archery meets. The steering committee, in conjunction with the safety committee, has been tasked with reviewing our site layout and recommending changes that will minimize range conflicts while improving overall safety.

The directors voted during the March meeting to close the rifle range during the 3D Archery meets due to safety concerns. Beginning March 29th, the rifle range will be closed from 9am to 4pm during the 3D Archery meets (typically the last Saturday of each month) until the newly formed Range Safety Committee can resolve the safety concerns. Check the calendar to verify the dates and times of each meet.

The rifle range is closed on the first sunday of each month during silhouette matches from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm for safety reasons. For more information see the "Rules of the Range" articles on both the Silhouette Range page and the Rifle Range page. Remember, these ranges do NOT operate independently. Both ranges must be clear before anyone can go down-range to the target areas.

UPDATE: So far we have sold 183 tickets and have held 5 drawings (Feb - June) and there are still 3 more chances for everyone to win. Click on the article title or the "read more" below for additional information.

From February through August a drawing will be held during the general membership meeting for a brand new gun. Tickets are now available for only $25. The winner can choose from the remaining inventory of revolvers, shotguns and rifles. There is even a bow in the mix. In September there will be a final drawing for the Taurus PT 1911B. Each months drawing will be from all tickets sold during the year so buy early and if your lucky you could win all 8.
