The club directors held their monthly meeting this month at the CR&GC rifle range facilities. Meeting highlights are as follows…

• EDC, LLC. held another Concealed Weapons class on July, 13th. They reported having only 5 students this go around because the people who were interested were already committed to other obligations. EDC said they are considering holding another class in September, after everyone’s summer activities settle down.
• This year’s .22 Youth Shoot is finished. Fred Tetchner reported that the club supplied approx. 500 rounds of .22lr per week for the Youth Shoot. He said we have about consumed our ammo supply for this event, and will have to come up with more before next year’s class.
• Ron Hurr reported that the Youth Archery clinic this year was OK, but attendance was much lower than last year.
• Cheri Reed reported that Keith Hall has done a tremendous amount of work at the Spotted Eagle Trap Range. She said he has done a lot of tree trimming, and week control, as well as removed stumps and other objects that could damage the new riding mower. Please thank Kieth for his hard work, when you see him.
• Bluerock will be installing a Pepsi vending machine on the outside of the Spotted Eagle clubhouse. The club will supply the power, and receive a portion of any proceeds from the machine.
• Club directors have been meeting with contractors over grant work to be performed at the trap range. We are waiting to get a firm quote back any day. Then we can start scheduling the first phase of the project. We have only have until the end of the year to complete the project and turn our receipts into the Yellowstone Caviar Project, in order to receive reimbursement from the grant money that they approved us for. Please note that at some point we will need several volunteers to help with the trenching for this project.
• In accordance with the club’s Bylaws in regards to missing the last four consecutive Directors Meetings, the club’s Vice President has been assumed to have resigned. Cheri Reed nominated Keith Hall to fill the vacant position, and was approved by the directors.
• The 4th Annual Holy Rosary Trap Shoot is still being finalized, but there will probably only be one Annie Oakley shoot this year, which will be held after all three rounds of trap have been completed. Todd Burch will get with Holy Rosary and discuss the idea of opening up the skeet range at the same time, so folks waiting to shoot trap could have the opportunity to shoot some skeet also. There was also some discussion about having an archery tournament the morning of the trap shoot, but this will probably not happen as the distractions when the trap shooting starts would be an unfair advantage to the archers who already shot before the trap shooting starts.
• Fred Tetschner reported that the rifle range is out of new target backer boards, and he will start checking prices to get more.
• The directors approved purchasing a shot timer to be used for the weekly Action Pistol Fun Shoot being held at the rifle range Thursday nights. They also approved this event to be opened up to non club members, and to charge an appropriate target fee for members, and one for non members.
• Cheri Reed is going to start applying for Friends of the NRA grants improve the Spotted Eagle trap and clubhouse facilities, in order to meet the requirements necessary to hold sanctioned ATA trap matches there.
