Board of Directors Meeting Minutes – March 17, 2015

Custer Rod and Gun Club
Meeting of the Board of Directors
3/17/15
VFW

Call to order and roll call of officers
Called to order: 7:05 PM
Directors Present: Keith Hall, Randy Anderson, Jesse Smith, Cheri Reed, Levi Burch, Todd Burch, Ken Boschee, Jim keith

Reading of previous meeting minutes
Jesse Smith motioned, “We accept the minutes from the March meeting as posted on the website.” The motion was seconded and passed.

Reading of current financial report
Cheri Reed reported we have $22,185.47 in checking, but she still needs to transfer the $2,500 back to the CD. Jim Keith motioned, “We accept the financial report as read.” Motion was seconded, and passed.

President report
Keith Hall reported that:
We received a thank you card from FWP for the donation of Chamber Bucks in December.

Jim and James Coleman have agreed to run the Youth .22 shoot again this year, and will decide on dates later this year.

Keith will check to see if there are any interest in signing up for a one day Youth Shotgun course. He will bring more information next month.

Keith will schedule meeting dates with the VFW for next winter’s Directors meetings, but we need to look at possibly a different location for the annual meeting as the consensus was that the VFW was a little small for the number of people in attendance this year.

Reports of Boards and Standing/Special Committees
Jesse Smith presented a proposal for what steel targets and support steel to purchase for the Sunday Creek Rifle and Pistol Range, and quotes from steel suppliers. Kenny Boschee motioned, “We accept the Pacific Steel bid.” The motion was seconded and passed.

Jesse Smith reported that the Friends of the NRA State Committee has recommended us for full funding, but it will probably be May before we find out if we are awarded our Sunday Creek range grant request from the national committee.

Randy Anderson reported that getting a key card reader type of lock for the Sunday Creek clubhouse, like the one on the gate, will cost $1,000. He said he will research getting one from somewhere else that is compatible with the same software.

Kenny Boschee reported that he is considering putting on a 3D archery tournament in May or April, if he gets some volunteers to help plan and run it. Anyone wanting to see this happen should contact him at 951-6577.

Cheri Reed reported that she needs to contact the trap thrower manufacturer to figure out what parts she needs to repair the thrower that was flooded last spring, as she thinks the book she has is for a different model thrower.

Cheri Reed reported trap shooting has resumed on Wednesday nights, we have 300 cases of clay targets, and didn’t order any this year.

Old Business
– no motions made on anything discussed

New business
Cheri Reed reported that it will cost about $1,000 to update the Spotted Eagle clubhouse, including rebuilding the bathroom and painting the building. Cheri Reed motioned, “We authorize her to spend a budget of $1,000 to update and repair the Spotted Eagle clubhouse.”

Jesse Smith reported that he was looking into security cameras for the Sunday Creek range, but has more research to do.

Board of Directors Meeting Minutes – Feb. 17, 2015

Custer Rod and Gun Club
Meeting of the Board of Directors
February 17, 2015
VFW

Meeting Called to order: 7:03 PM

Directors Present: Keith Hall, Randy Anderson, Jesse Smith, Cheri Reed, Todd Burch, Ken Boschee, Daniel DeLong, Jim Keith, William Williams

Previous Meeting Minutes:
Jesse Smith motioned “We accept the minutes from the previous Board of Directors Meeting as posted on the website.” The motion was seconded and passed.

Reading of current financial report:
Cheri Reed reported that the club currently has $22,305.25 in the bank, plus she as some various deposits to make. She hasn’t yet transferred the $2,500 that was borrowed from the CD for a trap thrower, but will get it done in the next couple weeks.
Jim Keith motion “We accept report the financial report as read.” The motion was seconded and passed.

President report:
Keith Hall reported he didn’t have anything to report but will be discussing this year’s youth shoots at next months meeting.

Reports of Boards and Standing/Special Committees:
Rifle Range Committee – Jesse Smith reported that the Friends of the NRA’s state committee has recommended our grant request for building a bathroom/storage building and dirt work at the Sunday Creek Rifle and Pistol Range, for full funding. It is now up to the Friends of the NRA’s National committee to approve the request, but we should have an answer in about a week from now.

Trap Range Committee – Cheri Reed reported that trap shooting has resumed on Sundays, and there are 300 cases of clays left in the clubhouse. When the weather gets better we need to move the clays into the trap houses to make room for repairs to be done in the clubhouse, then order more clays.

Old Business:
Cheri Reed reported Mule Deer Foundation has sent a plaque to recognize the Custer Rod and Gun Club’s support of their organization in 2014. Cheri gave the plaque to Jesse Smith to be hung in the Sunday Creek clubhouse.

New Business:
Cheri Reed reported that the Boy Scouts have several groups they want to get trap badges for. They want to use our facilities and probably borrow the club’s shotguns, but will pay for clays and provide own shells and instructors. They don’t have an exact date yet, but it will be after March 15th. The Board agreed by consensus to approve their request, and Cheri will work out a schedule with the Boy Scouts.

Cheri Reed reported that we need to do work in the bathroom at Spotted Eagle; that we have two windows and an air conditioner waiting to be installed; and we need to paint the outside of the clubhouse and the trap houses.
There was no motion made, and it was agreed that we need estimates for what the work will cost.

Ken Boschee motioned “We approve a budget of $4000 to purchase steel targets for the rifle & pistol range.” The motion was seconded and passed, unanimously. A committee was formed to decide how to spend the money on each range, with Jesse Smith being appointed as the head of the committee and the person authorized to approve the actual purchases.

Club member, Jeff Essmen, questioned why the general membership doesn’t have access to the clubhouse at the Sunday Creek range. He suggested putting a access card reader like what’s on the gate, on the clubhouse and allowing members to use the facilities at will. There was discussion about the rights of the members vs. the damage and cost potential to the clubhouse. There was no motion made, but Randy Anderson was assigned the task of finding out what it would cost to install a card reader lock on the clubhouse, and the issue will be discussed at the next meeting.

Ken Boschee motioned “We give the Pheasants Forever $100 for their annual banquet.” The motion was not seconded, but the topic will be discussed again at the next meeting.

Nomination and election of officers and board of directors:

Good and welfare: (presented at earlier in meeting)
Jonathan Kieser with FWP and Pheasants Forever thanked the club for our previous support of Pheasants Forever, and requested we continue to support them by being a sponsor of their Pheasants Forever banquet again in 2015.

Adjourn:
Cheri Reed motioned “We adjourn the meeting”. The motion was seconded and passed at 9:01 PM.

Memberships
Just a friendly reminder about the renewal of your club membership. 2015 memberships are available for renewal beginning December 1st 2014 through January 31st 2015 and would make an excellent Christmas present or stocking stuffer. Otherwise please submit your renewal before the January 31st deadline, all members renewed by the deadline simply keep the HID card, it will stay active. The HID card (which is a gate key) is the property of Custer Rod and Gun Club. Any personnel “not” renewing their membership by the deadline must return the HID card to the club by midnight January 31st regardless of intention to renew at any later date. Any membership not renewed by the Jan. 31st date “that has failed to return the HID card” will have the assigned HID card disabled and the former member assessed a $25.00 non-refundable fee for the cost of the card, programming and lock updating.
This incentive to return un-used club property may sound harsh, but this year we had over 60 former members fail to return the HID cards and we ran short by year end. Cards can only be ordered in lots of 100 and programming is extra. Because of those 60+ people we had to spend $375.00 on replacement cards and programming. Having a specified renewal period (Dec-Jan) and getting the un-used HID cards back in a timely manner (they are reissued to new members) will prevent these costs in the future and we can avoid an increase in annual membership costs. In addition members can take advantage of a full 12+ months of use. The additional memberships generated by a more secure access system have funded improvements that are under way as we speak.
As of today (11/5/2014) CR&GC has a record 420 members. Managing this volume of members and maintaining the range facilities has been a time consuming and costly task on part of the volunteers handling it. Please help them as much as you can by submitting your renewals on time and helping out at the range. Remember, this club is maintained by its members, it is not the sole responsibility of the board to maintain it and we do not have a range custodian. Please remind people of this if they complain about our range, it’s their responsibility too.
Please do not go to Red Rock to “renew” or get a second card, they cannot process renewals or sell an existing member a second membership. To renew your membership you can simply mail a check of $40.00 to the address below or renew online via PayPal at the clubs website www.custerrodandgun.com you may also renew your membership at the annual meeting (see above). Please provide clearly printed, current mailing address, phone number and email on new or renewed membership correspondence. If you do not wish to renew your membership please mail the HID card to the address below before January 31st, 2015. If you have any questions regarding membership call Randy Anderson at 406-951-0301.

2nd Annual Action Pistol Jackpot Match Results – Sep. 27 2014

Well the results are in for the 2nd Annual jackpot shoot, but first I would like to thank all the the volunteers who ROed the match for us and the wonderful ladies who ran the office AND fed us lunch! As well, I’d like to thank everyone who helped tear down and load everything up at the end.

I’d especially like to thank Big Sky Cast Bullets (www.bigskycastbullets.com) and Reynolds Market (http://www.facebook.com/ReynoldsMarketMilesCity) for donating the prizes for the side shoots and door prizes.

I’d also like to thank all the shooters who came out to play. Without the volunteers to run the match and the shooters to shoot it, we couldn’t do this. Thank you everyone for making this so successful and I hope to see you all again next year as we continue to grow!

Stock Pistol Division:
•   Firearm must be semi-automatic.
•   Sights may be changed to another notch and post type but slides may not be machined to accept different style sights.
•   Shooters must start each stage with 10 rounds in each magazines (or to magazine capacity, whichever is less), and one additional round loaded in the barrel/chamber.
•   Firearms may have reasonably sized add-on magazine well openings. They must be sized small enough to be generally accepted as reasonable for daily concealed carry. Over sized ‘competition style’ magwells will be moved to the Race Pistol division. Final determination of concealable vs race equipment will be made my the match director.

The intent is for this class to be limited to firearms that would be commonly accepted as a factory configuration carry gun, with only minor enhancements.
