I went out there this morning and went through both the regular and the shotgun rules/safety briefings, and signed up for both a regular and guest memberships. Great bunch of guys running the meeting. I'm glad I joined.

On Friday I was speaking with the one of the men that helped do the work and he said that after a week, the new eyebrow already had about 20 bullet holes in it. They didn't penetrate so I guess its doing its job. Someone would have had to be deliberately shooting at it or maybe it was a kid shooting a 22 and not realizing his trajectory was "up". In the last year or two they have really made a lot of improvements out there. It is good to see our dues being put to good use!

Good to hear. And yes, agree that I'm glad to see the dues being used wisely. I do wish that we could get more member participation at the work days, even if it had to be made mandatory. Either that, or add a $50 maintenance fee on to the yearly dues, to be reimbursed to anyone that attends two work days during the year. I think that would address some of the "ownership" issues brought up in the last newsletter.

Well, I'll be out there tomorrow to join. As far as the work days go, I'm perfectly willing to help out to the extent of my physical capacity, which is fairly limited due to severe back issues. However, one thing that nobody seems to have addressed is the website, which looks like it was designed by a high school student in 1995, using FrontPage. I own a website design business, and I'd be happy to do a professionally redesigned site pro-bono, built on a modern content management system which would enable club officers to update the site with fresh content, images, file attachments, and embedded videos, all without having to know any particular programming or code-writing skills.

I finally made it out there today, as a guest of strider67. We walked around and checked the place out, and then I spent an hour or so on the 200 yard line with my Remington 700. I really did like what I saw, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be there next weekend for the next new-members meeting.

It was my absolute pleasure. I hope you do make that meeting next weekend, as I have no doubt that the TAM Family would be a most welcome asset out there...

(plus I want to shoot your 700 again... )

Hey, I want to shoot my 700 again. One thing for sure is that I'm going to have to step up my reloading efforts. I'm going to be going through a lot more rifle ammo than I have for a while.

Very cool! I've kicked around joining for a while now but had procrastinated because of the 1 hour drive. But I would like to have access to further than 100 yards for zeroing a couple of my rifles, and the membership fee is unbeatable. If I had known that today was the new membership meeting, I would have come. But I've calendared it for September 7th, so I'll join then.
