- Keith Hall reports that the new mower needs cactus juice in the tires and was told to get some.
- The Women’s Shotgun shoot hasn’t been attended very well and has only have an average of one person the last couple dates. It was decided to cancel the upcoming date due to the Fair.
Old Business: None
New Business:
- Randy Anderson brought up the subject with the rifle ranges time lock. Diminishing daylight hours and complications with people getting locked in indicate it would be easier to deal with simply doing away with the lock-out feature. Ken Boschee made a motion to cancel the time lockout, several people made a second and it passed unanimously. Randy will probably just leave it at 9:00 pm since it is dark long before that now.
- Discussion regarding the upcoming clay purchase and details involved, revealed no conclusion and will be revisited at a later date. Suggestions were made to put the purchase out to bid and several stated that we may not even need to purchase any due to the current inventory.
- Keith Hall pointed out that a Weed Whacker is needed for the facilities.
- Jesse Smith reserved the 29th of September for an Action Pistol shoot.
- Todd Burch reported that Shane Taylor and Eric Fritz will need the rifle range for another defensive handgun course on the 13th of September.
Meeting was adjourned at 8:38
