CR&GC News – February 11, 2018

CR&GC Members,

I just wanted to write a quick note to mention a couple reminders…

Riffle/Pistol Range Winter Access
Don’t forget that there is no official snow removal at the rifle/pistol range. While we do have some neighbors who occasionally volunteer their time and equipment to maintain the road to in the range, we do not have regular snow removal at the range. The range is open to members year around, but please be aware of the recent weather conditions and bring a vehicle, shovel, etc. to ensure that you can make it in and out of the range without getting stranded.

Last Chance to Renew Your Membership for 2018
Don’t forget that the club does not sell membership renewals except between Dec. 1 and Feb. 15. If you were a member in 2017, you MUST renew your membership by Feb. 15th in order to be a member in 2018.

7) New Business

“B) Any changes to the by-laws shall:

1) take affect immediately
2) be noted in the by-laws posted on the club’s website, with the date amended
3) be included in the next update of the by-laws”

The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.

– Chronic Wasting Disease presentation by Montana Wildlife Federation (moved from Good and Welfare)
John Bradley from MWF gave a presentation on Chronic Wasting disease in Montana. He said it is affects white tail, mule deer, elk, moose. There is no cure, and is fatal to the animal. It has been in states surrounding Montana for 20 years but hasn’t been in Montana. Last year there the first positive test was found in Montana. It kills 25-40% of the animal population. MWF and FWP don’t want large populations of wildlife in small areas like game farms or feed grounds because it spreads the disease faster. No deer urine can be imported from states known to have CWD. MWF is encouraging testing of roadkill deer, and other monitoring efforts in various, particularly affected, areas of Montana. John encouraged people to contact himself or MWF to convey any concerns about how the MWF and FWP are responding to the infection, or with ideas of what else they could do.

After discussion about options for the clubhouse remodel, it was decided to go with a block wall, steel door, and a safe and shelves in the vault area. Jesse Smith agreed to make a floor plan drawing for the bathroom so it can be framed. Randy Anderson will contact Higgins drilling to find out how to winterize the new pressure tank and water lines.

7) New Business
– Safe area at pistol bays
Shane Adams submitted a suggestion by email to build a ‘safe area/room’ at the pistol bays, where competitors in pistol sports can handle their unholstered and/or loaded firearm rather than doing it at their cars behind the firing lines. He suggested building the safe area out of railroad ties. The Board discussed the idea and considered using car tires instead as we can get them for free. The Board will revisit the issue when plans for the 2018 rifle range work day are discussed.

– Miles City Firefighters Toy Dance request for donated memberships
Jesse Smith reported the club received a request to donate one or two club memberships to the Miles City Firefighter’s Toy Dance in December. Jim Keith motioned, “We donate a membership.” The motion was seconded, and passed.
