Several new rails to hold target stands have been added to the rifle range. Some of the existing rails had become weather-beaten and needed replacement. Certain shooting stations couldn’t be used at all the distances because the rails had come apart.
Bill Koury and Ron McLaughlin (a new member of the Range Committee) spent some time building replacements.

The new rails have been added at 25, 50, 75 and 150 yards. An example of the end results.

When you come to the outdoor ranges on Saturdays and Sundays these days, you’ll find each range has a trained volunteer Range Officer (safety green vest) in attendance. Their job is to assure that everyone at the range is able to shoot in a safe environment. And yes, if you break a Range Rule, you’ll hear about it, or you may even be cited. But don't you want to be sure every shooter on the line is acting to keep you safe as well as themselves?
Range officers volunteer to be on duty for two hour or longer shifts during shooting hours. They're devoting their time so we can continue to have a safe club. Please be sure to follow any directions a Range Officer gives you.

Bowling Pin Shoots
With bowling pin shooting, accuracy is critical. The kill-zone of the four pound pin is about the size of a 12-ounce beverage can. At 25 feet, it is not easy.
The real challenge is to get one's five heavy bowling pins off the table during the distraction of five other loud and sometimes rapidly firing handguns. Hint: Your firearm and ammunition must powerful enough to drive the 4-pound pins back a long three feet to be knocked clearly off the table top.
