Range Upgrades
Required for our 2025 Range Inspection
First Aid Kits - This year we received a donation from Kranky's Garage of 4 new First Aid Kits and signs for them. They are located at Bay 3, the Main Outhouse, Bay 7, and Bay 8 as per signs and previous e-mails. Kranky's also donated a couple handicap Parking signs and some posts which will be going up soon.
Signage - Soon you will notice new Bay Signs as well as Range Rules signs on every Bay and new 911 signs. There will be more signs next year for ACTS and PROVE and some other house keeping signs but those are not required for Inspection.
Flags- A new Flag at the gatehouse for Range Occupied was put in a few eeeks ago. I am going to try to make it a crank so it is easier to raise and lower. There are also new red and green flags for the Bays that will be out there soon. I need to make all ne flag staffs for them.
Berms - Our Berms were too short plain and simple. So the start of this project was having all the bays and berms surveyed. Once we had that information we looked at the regulations and set the height of the berms relative to the highest firing line next to them. The berms were set to 3.5 meters above grade of that highest firing line. problem 1 is talled berms are wider. Problem 2 is taller berms need way more dirt. We solved problem 2 by taking material from the bck of Bay 2 which we wanted deeper anyway. Problem 1 we solved by making adjustments as we went along.
As you can see from the pictures there is still clean up to do and finishing touches, but the berms are taller straighter and better aligned.
We are striving to get this work done as fast as possible, but trust me it was a lot of work and our neighbours 93 Mile Aggregates have done a great job.
Our goal is to have Bays 8, 7, 5, 4, and 6 Open for the long weekend. Bay three will be sometime next week and Bay 2 is a TBD as we have to bring the grade way down in the back.

NEW SIGN IN BUILDING
We have moved the sign-in to the new Gate House Building
There are a few changes that you will need to be aware of going forward
Where is it? Its right across from the old sign in shed. For sentimental reasons we relocated the old sign in shelf, with a few modifications of course.
What is different now? Well the biggest difference is how we will be recording guests going forward. You will see a pocket of envelopes. This is where you will now record guest names and place guest fees.
Fill out the envelope completely. Place the appropriate funds in the envelope, seal it, and then stick it in the slot. Sadly I forgot to make a spot for the date so please just write the dae somewhere on the envelope. Please do not just stick money in the slot.
New Members must take an Orientation Course before being granted access to the range

Range Fees
First it is important to understand that as an individual member you are welcome to bring your family to the range for shooting practice etc. You may also bring out of town guests to enjoy your range with you. If you and your spouse and family use the range on a regular basis and you wish to have guests shoot with you, it mandatory that your guest signs in and pays the $10.00 day user fee with a special discount for juniors(17 and under) at $2.00
Range Safety
The Board of Directors passed a motion in 2010 that requires both EYE and EAR PROTECTION for everyone on the firing line, shooters and spectators. Signs have been posted and executive and board members will be enforcing this policy. The range shooting sheds are equipped with Red safety flags. A RED flag means the range is active and firearms may be handled and discharged or someone is occupying that range for another reason so be aware at ALL TIMES what or who is downrange of the firing line. Please use the flags and be safe. The flags will not make up for a lack of awareness. If a flag is missing please notify the chair for that bay or the Board of Directors.
Range use:
This is your club and your range. Non members may not use the range except as mentioned above. To help ensure that everyone who uses the range is eligible to do so the Board requires that you have your membership card available for presentation when requested. That is why it is important to keep the temporary ID provided by the top portion of the membership invoice.
