New Backers on 100, 200 & 300 Yard Ranges

Please keep these new backers in good shape by NOT shooting into the wood supporting the foam board.
If you are using a free standing target, be sure that you are aligned so that your bullet will pass through the target and impact on an open section of the back berm (or left side berm on the 100 yard range).  Make sure that you are on the appropriate range for the distance that you are shooting at.
Less than 50 yards, go to the 50 Yard ranges or a pistol bay.
- 50 to 100 yards, go to the 100 yard range.
- 101 to 200 yards, go to the 200 yard range.
- 201 to 300 Yards, use the 300 yard range.
With your help, we should only have to replace the foam board each year.

50 Yard Bays

The 50 yard bays have been cleaned up and all of the target stands have been stacked neatly on the west end of the east bay cover. Please keep it neat and tidy. Break down your target, by removing the cardboard (placing it back with the rest if still usable), removing the sticks and placing them in a drum and putting the stand back neatly on the pile. As you can see from this picture, the cardboard pile has been depleted. You should be prepared with some cardboard (18" wide x 2'~3' tall) and a staple gun.  Or you can hang your target on the purple foam on the 50 yard backers. Do NOT place targets on the wood!!!
Brooms, dustpans and brushes have been placed on both 50 yard bays on the pole with the light switch and bell. I expect to see those items hung up on the poles every time that I go to the range. Please clean up your brass when you are finished shooting.
Some knucklehead(s) are still placing objects on top the backer boards and demonstrating their poor marksmanship. STOP IT!!! This was the cause of the top board breaking up and collapsing the support. Members doing this required the replacement of the backers once or twice per year. If all of the members practice sensible shooting and respect the club property, these backers should last several years with only replacement of the foam board as needed. If you see someone doing this, please stop them and get their name. They need to come before the board to explain their actions.
