Improvements in Safety Features Continue at Easthampton Fish & Game
Your Assistance Is Needed
Safety is our first priority at Easthampton Fish and Game. Eye and ear protection is required at all times on the lower 30, 100 and 200 ranges. Along with the adherence to our basic shooting safety rules, there is also a concern that these ranges may be in the shot fall areas from certain stations on the skeet field!
With this in mind, the membership at the March meeting voted
to install an audible and visual signal at the lower ranges, with a switch
located at the skeet field. This alarm system will alert individuals shooting
on the lower ranges that the skeet field is in use.
The cost of this project is estimated to be $2317.79.
This estimate does not cover the labor to install the new system. Labor will need to
be contributed by members. Without your support this project will not be accomplished. This could possibly lead to closing of one of these fields when the other is in use.
Contributions of money and time for this project are
respectfully requested. Please help as much as you are able by giving a call to Dave Parker at 413-527-1571
With sincere thanks for your support,
The Easthampton Fish and Game Board of Directors

New Safety Initiative at Easthampton Fish & Game - Your help is needed.
In keeping with the on-going commitment to range safety at Easthampton Fish & Game, the membership voted at the March 13th meeting to install "hot range" warning lights and signs at the lower ranges to indicate when the upper Skeet range is being used.
The warning lights would be switched on by shooters on the upper Skeet range when a round is beginning. The warning indicates that there is a possibility that some pellets in the Skeet Range Shot Zone will fall onto the lower rifle ranges. It is incumbent upon the shooters on the lower ranges to wear eye protection and headwear (e.g. ball cap).
Although the safety rules for the lower ranges have always specified that eye and ear protection are required when using these facilities, the membership decided that the extra step of the Skeet Range warning light would add yet another level of safety for our members.
Some of the cost of installing this system have already been donated by club members. Additional funds are needed, and any donation (small or large) is greatly appreciated. If you can help with this initiative, please see one of the Board of Directors, or come to a Membership Meeting with your contribution.
Dates of Membership meetings are listed on the Club Calendar page.
