Recently the CR&GC’s Board of Directors conducted an online survey of club members The link to the survey was emailed to all 235 current paid members in good standing, who have provided us with email addresses. Of those 235 members, 118 opened the email. 74 of them clicked the link to the survey. 29 of them took the survey once they clicked on the link.<\/p>\n

This survey was not any kind of scientific poll, but was conducted simply to give the Board a better feel for the the member’s likes, dislikes, and visions for the club’s future. However, in an effort to show transparency, the Board opted to post the survey responses in its entirety on the website. The questions and responses are below. Please keep in mind that the same people answered all the questions, so if you see the same answer in multiple questions it is NOT an indicator of the number of people who had the same answer. However, if the same answer is repeated in the same question, then they were entered by different people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\t—\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\tstop the infighting\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\tspotted eagle club house\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\tI would like to see a longer range set up 300 yards or more\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\tAdvertising of scheduled events\/ more classes\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\tMore activities for women and promotion of women in the outdoors. There has not been a summer ladies shoot since John Hartwick passed away. Even then, that was the only activity the club did that specifically targeted women. There are many ladies in this community who hunt or at least shoot, and some of them are very talented, but there’s no organized activities for them or instruction for beginners. Also – the skeet range was allowed to fall to disarray last summer as well. The door was kicked in, weeds and mowing weren’t taken care of and the area started to look shabby. It seemed like no one really cared to pay any attention to it.\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\tWould like to have a 300 yard range or even farther if possible\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\tthe main range\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\tThe archery area at Spotted Eagle is nice but enhancements to that would be great (walk thru course of targets possibly 3d\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\t5) Is there any shooting discipline, sport, or other related activity that the club does not currently offer, that you would like to see offered if possible?\t<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
\t—\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\tRanges are nice, the 200 yard is hard to hit due to 100 yd berms.\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\t3 Gun\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\tBlack powder cartridge, muzzleloader matches\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\t3 gun\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\tBasic pistol shooting. The concealed weapons courses are fine but if you just want to learn how to use a handgun and become a good shooter with it, there isn’t any sort of instructional activities for that. Other activities like how to clean and care for different types of guns or maybe even something like sighting in rifles would be good and would maybe encourage involvement from beginners or those with basic skills who are otherwise intimidated by more experienced folks.\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\tNo\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\tno sure\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\tLonger range rifle targets400-600 yds\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\t6) Is there any improvements such as new buildings, ranges, targets that you would like the club to consider adding?\t<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
\t—\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\tbetter or higher 200 yard targets.\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\ta 300 or a 400 yard rifle area at kinsey range\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\tThere can always be more reactive\/steel targets on springs. Those are nice.\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\tA tannerite area\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\tlonger rifle range, indoor pistol range, trap range on our own property\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\tNo\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\tExpanded archery range. Indoor pistol range\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\talways upgrade at rifle range building would be nice.. i understand funds dependent\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\tThe benches at the lower shooting area cloest to the gate need the frount lifted. We really like the metal targerts. They are great for kids.\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\tLittle bit taller berms at Sunday creek\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\tConsistently working trap throwers, and more than one at a time that works, would be nice.\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\t300-400 yard range if possible\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
