Membership Renewal

It’s time to start thinking about renewing your club membership for 2013. Club dues for annual members will be $100. The $10 land fee applies to all members as does the current work hour structure of 10 hours. Unserved work hours are $10 per hour. For example: an associate life member with no work hours, the fee would be $110. Please return your 2012 card after November 1^st with payment to:

Chillicothe Sportsmen’s Club

P.O. Box 13

Chillicothe, IL 61523

Note:

Our small dues increase for 2013 is to bring our structure in line with other shooting clubs in Illinois, and to fund some much needed improvements to our ranges.

President’s Corner:

The upcoming U.S. Presidential election may well be the most significant event of our time, having the potential to seriously, permanently and adversely alter the political and sociological fabric of the United States itself. Don't allow apathy to steal your ability to be heard. Don't allow your friends to be bad Americans by not voting. The United States is one of the few countries on the face of the earth whose people have the privilege of freely voting for their leaders. Even though political extremists have been trying their best for years to bring America into line with the rest of the world, which is either socialist, communist or autocratic, our rights and freedoms are still envied and longed for by the rest of the world. Don't allow the spirits of our Founding Fathers and military members who struggled, fought and died to earn that which we enjoy to be forever banished and lost to the yellowing pages of some unread history book.

1911 Pistol Match, Saturday 6 October

We are having another 1911 tactical marksmanship match on Saturday 6 October from 8:00am until 3:00pm on Range 1. The match will be held rain or shine, so bring rain gear just in case. The course of fire is simple and somewhat challenging, but not overly so. You do not have to be a highly experienced competitor to take part. All you need to join the fun is a single-action 1911 style pistol in a centerfire caliber, hearing and eye protection, a couple of magazines, a belt holster, and 50 rounds of ammunition (bring more ammo if you want to shoot the course more than once). The entry fee is only $3. Each re-shoot is equally cheap, $3. To receive an informational bulletin on the match, contact Kevin Hutchison at blitzkrg@mtco.com.
