NOTICES
The CSC Trap Range, the road to the Cowboy Town, Pistol Range,
Practice Bays, and the middle of the Buffalo Range all are experiencing
flooding again. Hopefully the waters
will soon recede enough that we can again utilize all of our ranges. The road in front of the pavilion and the pavilion
are also flooded. In the interim, lets
everyone cooperate with each other while using the available range space.
June Bowling Pin Match: Date has been changed to June 20, due Match Director Kevin Monk being unavailable on June 13th. He will be trying to contact all of the normal participants.
A BIG THANK YOU from Grounds Chairman Steve Schneckenburger to all of the CSC Members who helped with the recent outdoor cleanup work days and from Clubhouse Chairman Bob Bjerke to all who have helped this past winter and spring with the monthly Indoor Range/Clubhouse cleanup.
SAFETY: Vision & hearing are very important to each person. PLEASE remember to wear the appropriately required eye and hearing protection whenever you are on any of the ranges.
Remember to always place your targets so that all fired rounds impact the backstops. This action will minimize the possibility of any fired rounds richoting out of the range.
