News
TSGC hours of operation have been changed to 8:00am to sundown all year long.
Should anyone have any questions please contact, Sharon Goding, Secretary/Treasurer, at fiestysharon@aol.com, (In the reference line make sure you put Tri-State Gun Club), or you may call me at 334-347-1431, (I am home more after 7pm and before 9am). Please do not call Tom; he will only forward it to me anyway. If you have any news you would like posted in the news letter please let me know.
October is fast approaching and it will be time for club renewals. Please do not forget that this year fees have gone up. Regular club membership is $150.00, Law Enforcement membership is $125.00 and Senior membership is $50.00. Also remember to renew your NRA membership. You save $10.00 by renewing through the club. Please be sure to fill out a membership form when you pay your club fees so I have it on record. Hopefully the new form will be posted on the web-site soon.
I have mailed all of the Range Briefing and Waiver forms out. If you did not get one you can pick one up at the range or e-mail me and I will mail you one. Unfortunately all the letters were in my car when I was hit from behind, and some of them were ruined. I have no way of knowing whose was lost. I am hoping to get these posted on the web-site soon also.
As everyone knows the summer heat is upon us. Please make sure when you are at the range you have plenty of water to drink. It does not take long to become dehydrated in this heat.
We are not getting a great deal of participation in our club matches. This is how the club makes money to maintain the ranges. Please show your support by participating in these matches. It is a lot of fun!

We have 2 shotguns, 2 rifles and one pistol, so no matter what type of shooting you are interested in we have a gun for you. The tickets are $2.00 each, 3 for $5.00, or 15 for $20.00. You can get tickets from our girl shooters, Cindy, Sharon, Pat, or myself (Susan) or call 347-4039. Please support us in this. The club has again received another grant from the NRA Foundation (Friends of the NRA). This year we are getting another skeet machine and a rabbit machine.

USPSA May 14, 2008
|
It turned out to be one of those hot, humid days. I think everyone will agree we had some challenging courses. The rifle course was a real DOG because we had to run it on the Rifle Range and rather than not having to move much, we wound up having to run 75 yards. This also made the PPC Standards a real challenge (heart pumping a mile a minute). Hope everyone enjoyed it. Just a reminder, there will be no match for June, July and August due to the heat of the summer months.

IDPA
There was no match this month due to Memorial Day. Next match will be June 15th. Ladies, see you all there!
Specialty Match:
May's Specialty Match was Modified Trap Shotgun Match ran by Dennis Keplinger. The day was beautiful, but a little windy and the course was three teal, two rabbit, and twenty clays from six positions. It was a difficult course to say the least, especially the last position behind the pine tree. We raised $140.00 for the Range Fund, bringing our total to $980.00 so far this year. Due to a scheduling change the June match will be ICORE Revolver run by Gerald Bonds and held on June 22nd on the Pistol Range. Hunter-Rifle has been moved to July and will be run by Bill Duncan and we have added a J.C. Garand match for September to be run by Jim Edgington.
For this match, we divided the scores into first, second, and third runs and awarded points for each. Congratulations to Bill Stokes for winning the shoot-off and the match and Jim Swift for keeping up with him with 16 birds. Also a "HATS OFF" to Norman who remains the Teal Champion with 3 out of 3 on his first run.
