Defensive Pistol Match

Wed, 17 Sep 2008 18:17:32 -0400

On October 11th we will be holding an IDPA style match in the pistol pit from 9 am until noon. The match will NOT be open to the public and will not be sanctioned by the IDPA. Since we only have one pistol pit we will not be able to run multiple simultaneous stages but, depending on the turnout, we hope to offer 3 or 4 stages during the match. If you are interested in honing your self-defense skills this is a good way to do it. For more information read the articles on the Pistol Range page by Clicking Here.

Christmas Is Coming

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 21:57:24 -0400

Christmas will be here before you know it so it�s time to get into the spirit of giving. Starting with the September general meeting, we will be having Silent Auction items up for bid at each general meeting through December. If you have any items you would like to sell or donate, please bring them to the meetings. We will be having 50/50 drawings as well and, as always, we have T-shirts, caps, and vanity ACSC license plates for sale. All proceeds benefit the Christmas Fund. There will be a large black tub set up in the back of the clubhouse in front of the large window for non-perishable donations and cash donations are very welcome. Please be generous! All your generosity will be greatly appreciated. In addition to raising funds, we can use all volunteers. There will be shopping for presents, wrapping the presents, shopping for groceries and delivery to the family. This is all done by volunteers! If you are interested in participating in any way, you can contact me at any time. Thank you for your interest, your participation, and your generosity.

Additional Rifle Range Closures - Updated

Fri, 28 Mar 2008 11:42:25 -0400

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.

Safety Reminder

Tue, 4 Mar 2008 14:01:50 -0500

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.

The fine print: You need not be present to win. Only 400 tickets will be available for sale. Each month a drawing will be held during the General Membership meeting on the 2nd Thursday of each month starting in February. Each winning ticket will be returned to the pool for additional chances during subsequent months. Tickets are available to the public so encourage your friends, even if they are not members, to buy one. Gun transfer will be through a licensed firearms dealer so winner must meet federal and state ownership requirements.
