President's Corner
I'd like to remind everyone of the
importance of making sure that, when fired, bullets do not leave the confined
safety of our ranges.
Each shooter is individually
responsible for placing his or her targets at a height that will insure the
bullet safely enters the protective berm. Bullets that impact areas other than
the berms can be deflected upward and escape. Let's keep everyone safe by
faithfully adhering to this basic safety procedure.
I hope
the new year will be good to everyone, and please remember your open invitation
to attend our monthly meetings on the second Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm.
Now
for my thought of the month. It is nature's intent that certain species
of animals flourish while others fall by the evolutionary wayside. If this were
not true and extremists had their way, dinosaurs would be chasing us all down
the interstate.
Be safe, shoot straight and
always speak the truth.

NOTE BELOW
Jim Martin is
building a list of Mauser Match shooters’ e-mail addresses. You may
contact him at martijl2@mtco.com if you would like to be added to his
list. He will keep you more up-to-date on special challenges, scores,
etc. than the newsletter can, due to our shooting schedule and some information
coming in after the newsletter deadline. For instance this month we have
no special challenge. If one should arise, those on Jim’s list will
be notified prior to the match.
