IMPORTANT: The door between the Pro Shop and the ballroom as well as the ballroom door leading directly to the outside in back will be secured during the match because we will be posting targets on the stands along the wall. That places the doors in the line of fire.
There will be new procedures for entering the club grounds and moving to the free pistol range. NOTE: if the gate is open, drive in. If the gate is down, enter “the code” on the key pad for access.The code changes and will be sent out before each match week end.
This should allow you access through the main gate and to the pistol range for free pistol. On the way out simply drive up to the gate and it should open to permit you to leave.
Because of the times air pistol firing points may be reduced. As soon as I know I will pass that information on to you.
Masks are required in the club house… except when eating.

As a reminder, police your firing points, pick up brass, chairs and benches moved should be placed back into position. Make sure you are firing on CLUB TARGETS, not a target someone else has brought to […]
