YSSI WEEKEND:
The 10th
Annual YSSI Weekend is set for April 16-18, 2010. Help will be needed on all ranges (Indoor
Rifle, Shotgun, Archery, High-Power Rifle, Muzzleloading Rifle, Cowboy, Buffalo
Rifle, USPSA) and in the clubhouse kitchen.
WORK HOUR CREDITS will be given to all volunteers who assist. Questions – call Bob Bjerke @ (309)
692-1800.
???SHOTGUN INSTRUCTOR CLASS???
We have a need for more NRA Certified Shotgun
Instructors. To help fill this need, an
NRA Shotgun Instructors Class is tentatively scheduled for May 21, 22, &
23, 2010—depending on interest in such a class. If you have an interest in such a class or a question about the
class, please contact Bob Bjerke @ (309) 692-1800 before April 15th. This much time is needed to order materials
if enough interest is generated. Thank
you.
We are aware of the condition of our access road & are
working at improving it. The road is
posted at 15 MPH.
At 15 MPH, you do not need to brake for the corner or to turn into the
Club. Braking from higher speeds
causes the road base to buckle, leading to potholes. If you are having to brake, you are part of the problem. Please
obey the posted speed limit—THANKS.
Acronyms - What the heck do they mean!!???!!?!?
Wonder what all the acronyms used out on the range and in
this newsletter mean? This area of the newsletter is dedicated to helping
explain these. If I forget some or misidentify them, please let me know.
