The Tony Mackey shoot was held on Sunday October 5th, in what can euphemistically be called variable weather conditions. Fourteen participants shot the six, all steel, courses. There were several members who had shot with Tony. It was a great group with everyone pitching in to help run things. Evan designed the stages, and Doug and Monty had set up 3 stages on Saturday and were well into setting up the other 3 when most of us showed up on Sunday morning. It was good to see some new people attend and some members who had not shot much this year come along. Scott Evans acted as range officer much of the day, and brought coffee and snacks. It was great to have Scott and Jim shooting in the same match. Paul brought his son Sam along, who did really well.  Thanks to all who came and participated in the memorial shoot for Tony Mackey.

We had a beautiful day for our first Saturday shoot. There were 75 challenging targets. We had twenty five shooters including five ladies and two juniors. The HOA shooter was Carsten with a score of 59. The Lewis Class winners were Scott and Jake with a score of 58. Dave won 2nd class after a shootout with Tim and Monty using a 75 year old sliding block double shotgun. Third class was won by Tanner with 39.

Prizes were provided by Cejay of Quality Auto Brokers. Thanks to kitchen staff for lunch of soup and sandwich. Many thanks to the people who plan, setup and put away targets. Without these volunteers there would be no shoots.

Thanks to all. Sporting Clays Comm.

This Sunday we will holding the Tony Mackey Memorial Shoot. The shoot will involve 6 courses of fire on steel targets, set up on Ranges A and C. Round count is 105 (bring 150). 

The courses are set up so that those not used to dynamic shooting or drawing from a holster can shoot from stationary positions. 

Pistol/revolver is the usual firearm of choice. No steel core ammo is allowed. 

We will allow .22 rimfire pistols and rifles to be used, and these will be scored differently (i.e., hit versus knock down). No shotguns, no rifles above .22 caliber. 

This is meant to be a fun shoot. 

10am start. Registration will be in the main clubhouse from 915 to 950 am. Match fee is $10. Bring lunch and something to drink. 

Eye and ear protection required for participants and observers.

Reminders


1) Please ensure that you close the gate behind you when entering or leaving the club. When entering you do not have to lock the gate; however, upon leaving make sure it is locked. There are safety and liability issues associated with non-members gaining access to the club grounds and facilities.


2) Please sign in when using the club facilities. There are log books in the main clubhouse and the Long Branch. All guests must be signed in by a member in the appropriate log book.


3) Range C is primarily for use by IPSC, IDPA, Steel Challenge and club run shoots. It is also the primary range rented out to various law enforcement agencies. There are no target stands provided for general use on Range C. Most law enforcement agencies bring their own targets and stands. The VTAC training barricades provide various shooting positions and are not target stands. They are meant for tactical training and competitions. In most instances, members of the of the club should use Range A, where target stands are provided, or Range B, where target stands are provided.

4) Please remove your targets from the stands provided on Range B and A, when you are finished. Coroplast backing, cardboard boxes and large targets can be disposed of in the large, white plastic container across the road from the Long Branch.

5) Do not shoot at the steel gongs on Range B unless they are hanging by both straps. Never use them if they are placed on the ground or leaning on the target stands.

Fall Update

1) The Long Branch repairs and renovations will be completed in October. At that time a new metal roof, new eaves and some siding will be installed. It will also will be repainted.

2) We are looking at the possibility of adding a skeet range, near the end of the current sporting clays trail. We have a plan that needs to be approved by the Chief Firearms Officer (CFO). There is minimal cost associated with getting this up and running, thanks to use of existing equipment and volunteer help. Improvements will be made over subsequent years.

3) An industrial size electric heater will be added to the Main clubhouse.


4) Outdoor archery is now finished for the year. Shortly, Steel Challenge shoots on Tuesday night will end due todiminishing light. Sporting clay shoots will be on Wednesday 10 am to 2 pm, and on 1 Saturday per month.

Thank you and safe shooting. Please contact us on the club email SJRGC2024@gmail.com if you have questions, or notice things that need repair.

The Board.

If your membership card indicates that your status is Prospective, then you need to attend an Orientation. Orientation is generally done once a month. Currently there are 27 members who need to attend Orientation before they will receive the gate code and Active Status. Prospective members will receive an email when there is going to be an Orientation. They can also look for Orientation events in the Club News and on the Calendar. 

If your membership card indicates Pending then there is information missing on your application. Often this is an adequate picture. The picture should be of your head and shoulders  and uploaded to your account in Jpeg format. Pictures of PAL cards, or you fishing, hunting or shooting are not acceptable. 

Many of our those currently with Pending status are multi-year members who have been carried over into our new membership system. Some have uploaded ID photos, but have not updated the rest of their membership information or signed the new waiver. Pending members can log in to their membership file and update this info, after which you will receive the gate code. 

Please note that an attempt or attempts have been made to contact multi-year members.
