As alot of us know, the Blue Grass State Games are going to be held at our club. We are looking for people to volunteer to help either Saturday, Sunday or both. They will be using the rifle range both days. I, along with whoever wants to help, will be selling hotdogs, hamburgers with the fixins and water. Other drinks can be purchased through the machine. I wil be getting things set up around 9AM both days, cooking should begin around 10:30-11AM and run until 3PM. If you know of someone wanting to help or want to help yourself please contact me @ 859-619-5977 send a message here or email me at g0fish@aol.com.

Hope to see some guys from the club shooting in the games.

I want to thank all who showed up to work this past Saturday. All of the bending and stooping to get rid of the rocks along with the weedeating that took place. There were a some sore backs at the end of the day. Yep, stupid me was weedeating the berms in shorts. I didn't work as long as the others, cuts on the legs, but every little bit helps get what needs to be done, done.

I hope there will be some informal rifle matches soon. Nothing fancy just come and punch holes in paper for score. Possibily in July (Hunting rifle)

Feel free to post some requests on other kinds of matches you would like to have.

Work has been progressing on the Rifle Range, I am pleased to inform the Range now consists of Eight Rifle Rests and Eight Target Rest with this completion it makes eight lanes now available for the members to use. I would like to Thank all who have helped with this work.

We are currently in the process of upgrading and improving our rifle range. The expansion to eight firing lanes is complete and a new cover has been installed. The old target berms located at 25, 50, 100 and 200 yards have been repaired and a new target berm has been added at 300 yards.

. Members only except for scheduled open events.
. The rifle range will be closed during silhouette matches for safety.
. The silhouette range always operates in conjunction with rifle range.
. Make sure silhouette range is clear before shooting or going down-range.
. Do not shoot at silhouette targets from the rifle range.
. Be careful not to shoot over the berms - bullets travel a long way.
. Keep firearms pointed in a safe direction at all times.
. Remove your targets and police the area when finished shooting.
. Eye and ear protection are required.

Note: If you wish to pattern your shotgun on rifle range, bring your own target & target stand and fire from firing line only. Target to be offset from existing fixed targets to prevent destruction of target stands.

If you wish, the NRA will maintain a history of your shooting scores. These scores allow you to better judge your progress as a shooter and are useful if you plan on shooting at the regional / state / national levels.

To report these scores to the NRA, you must have either an "Approved" or a "Sanctioned" match. This means that you must follow certain rules that the NRA sets for the operation of matches and all competitors must fire a designated "course of fire".

At all "NRA Approved" matches, the following course of fire will be used:
Stage #1
Standing - Slow Fire - 10 Rounds - 200 Yards - SR Target
Stage #2
Standing to Kneeling - Slow Fire - 10 Rounds - 200 Yards - SR Target
Stage #3
Standing to Prone - Rapid Fire - 10 Rounds - 300 Yards - SR3 Target
Stage #4
Prone - Slow Fire - 20 Rounds - 300 Yards - MR63 Target
