President’s Corner

Well our fall meeting is behind us and I’m pleased to be your president for another year. Please welcome our new VP of the indoor range, Don Kyle. Don will be taking over for James DeCamp as of October 2nd. Our winter indoor shooting programs will be starting in December for small bore rifle and January for galley pistol. Please remember that safety is a priority for the club and please be considerate of other shooters. Also remember to clean up your old targets and trash at both facilities. Big changes for the outdoor shooting range.
Please be aware of the changes to the 25yd and 100yd swap. This will prevent people from cross-lane shooting and impacting the 300yd building. The new lock on the gate went into place on October 2nd. If you did not come to the meeting and get your key some are being mailed or you can contact Jim to make arrangements to get a key. Thanks, Eric Hisey president Old Trails
