  Steel Plate Shoot Scores

FILL DIRT/SAND WANTED

 

 

Shotgun Plate shoot August 14th, 2010

The next shotgun plate shoot will be on Sat August 14th starting at 10:00 am. As usual, we will be having two events for this. The main event, which consists of twelve targets, and the El Presidente, which has a total of six targets. Only #8 and #9 shot is allowed due to the short distance to the targets, and for safety. Two boxes should suffice if you only shoot the main event, but three boxes will do if you shoot both events. At only five dollars per event it would be silly not to shoot both. You will go through each event three times and we will document your times for each run through. This is not a competition where you shoot against other people. You will only compete against yourself. Because of this, any shotgun style or gauge is welcome. You need not be a club member to participate. So bring a buddy or two and have a ball shooting steel plates. As usual, this event is weather dependent. If it’s raining or threat of rain, the shoot will be canceled. We normally wrap it up around 2:00 so plan accordingly. We hope to see you there. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at pl8shootr@sbcglobal.net.

When using West Walker’s shooting ranges please check in at the range monitor building.

In or around the Monitor building you will find a range monitor. A range monitor will be on site during normal club shooting hours. The range monitor will ask to see your membership card (if you need to buy a membership or renew a membership, they can do it right there). They will also make sure you have ear and eye protection, which is required. They will also monitor and enforce the club rules. Any charter members can also ask you to verify your membership and to obey the club rules. 

Range Safety
Just a friendly reminder to our members who use the rifle and pistol ranges. Please police your area when you are finished shooting. The next shooter will thank you for not having to wade through a sea of spent brass. Please deposit your spent brass, as well as dud rounds in the white buckets hanging near each line. Do not dump duds in the trash barrels! They can pose a real hazard to our grounds committee as they mow the grass or burn trash. Things that don’t burn so well, empty shotgun hulls, hard plastic, beverage containers and metal, should be put into the two big green barrels. Paper, "soft" plastic, and cardboard boxes can be put into the small metal barrels or directly into one of the burn barrels. Thanks for helping keep our ranges clean and safe for all.
