Club Officers For 2014:

As the result of our annual meeting and election of officers, your club officers remain as listed above. 2014/15 directors will be Charlie Braasch, Don Filkins, Bob Griffith, and Steve Schneckenburger.


Safety Information:

The key to the use of our ranges by multiple shooters is good communication. When someone wants to go down range, respect that by clearing and benching your firearm, and not handling it until the range is declared “hot”. Don’t forget your eye and ear protection.

From Our Grounds Keeper:

CSC has removed or trimmed over 17 cottonwood trees on the club grounds. The wood is located by range 6 and between the trap range and the lake. The wood is free for the taking by CSC members for outdoor bonfires. You will need to cut the wood and haul it away. What remains will be burned in the spring.

Also our farming partner has bulldozed a path leading South along the railroad tracks from the front gate. There are a lot of knocked down trees just the right size for firewood. You will need to cut up the wood and haul it away.

Any questions contact Steve Schneckenburger at 309-692-7807 or 309-657-0170
