June 2013 Board of Directors Meeting Minutes

The Custer Rod and Gun Club held their June directors meetings at the Spotted Eagle Trap Range, June 18th. Meeting highlights are as follows…

  • Ron Hurr reported that they are all set to have the Youth Archery clinic Saturday morning, June 22nd at the Spotted Eagle Archery Range. This event is open to any children who wish to experience archery for the first time, or who have shot before. If anyone would like to help run this event, or would like more information about bringing your kids, please contact Ron Hurr at 853-2370.
  • Fred Tetschner reported that he received permission from the City Council to use the City Range for the .22 Youth Shoot. The city required the club to up our insurance from $500,000 to $1 million, but also issued a resolution letter giving us permission to use the range for the Youth Shoot the next 3 years. Fred said the Councilmen were great to work with and very in favor of this sort of Youth activity. Please take the time to thank your Mayor and Councilmen when you see them.
  • Fred also reported that we have 32 kids attending the Youth .22 Shoot, and 15 signed up for the Youth Trap Shoot.
  • Some targets have been removed from the Spotted Eagle range for repairs made necessary by more vandalism last week.
  • Randy Hart reported that he is getting closer to a final layout for the new pistol range to be built at the Rifle Range facilities. He said Mike Webb has agreed to help with the earth work to build the new berms.
  • Todd Burch reported that Holy Rosary wants to hold their annual charity fundraiser Trap Shoot on Aug. 9th and 10th, but there is a scheduling conflict on the 10th with the Pheasants Forever Youth program. Todd said he will try to work out the scheduling conflict.
  • The Directors approved Eric Fritz and Shane Taylor of EDC, LLT. to hold another Concealed Weapons pistol class at the Rifle Range on July 13th.
  • It was noted that the club’s Vice President has now missed 3 consecutive Directors Meetings. It was moved and approved to address the issue appropriately at next month’s meeting.
  • Jesse Smith reported that he will be setting up Action Pistol style steel and cardboard silhouette targets on the short range at the CR&GC Rifle Range every Tuesday night at 6pm starting July 9th, for any club members who wish to come out and do some fun action pistol shooting. This will just be a fun/practice shoot open to any club members who wish to come out and spend a evening with other pistol shooters. Handgun shooters of all experience levels are encouraged to come out and bring any auto or revolver of common defensive caliber (usually 9mm/.38 – .45 cal) There is no charge to shoot, and all targets will be supplied by himself and John Olsen.

The next monthly meeting is scheduled for 7pm July 16, 2013 at the CR&GC Rifle Range. All members are encouraged to attend these meetings and help steer their club in any decisions to be made.
