Today we had 7 members attend our July range work day: Mike Briscoe, Brad Dickinson, Ron Lawrence, Dave Brandenburger, Fred Engelhart, Darren Heaton and Bob Vogt.
The following items were done today: Outhouse was cleaned, weed eating around the range, fresh card board added to target stands, 35 yard line had the dirt removed from target holes, all the trash and tree branches were burned, and new rope was installed on the flag pole. (There may have been additional items done that I did not see.)
Today was out first public bench match for the Gemmer Muzzle Loading Gun Club. We had 11 shooters which included 3 non member shooters. The match is shot from 35 yards off a pyramid of 2×4 bench with a 15lb or lighter gun. No shaders or diopters were allowed. Cash prizes were given out to the top 3 positions.
Congratulation to David Brandenburger, Brad Dickinson and Walter Fett!
