The Skeet Range is now operational. There may be some intermittent glitches when clays are thrown, but the range is usable.
Repairs were made to the existing machines to hold over until the new machines arrive. We expect the new machines in the next month.

Range Update: New Skeet Range Machinery - NRA Pistol Instruction -IR 50/50 Benchrest
Skeet Range
Thanks to a generous loan from a club member, new Lincoln Infinity Series Trap machines have been ordered for the skeet range. We expect delivery and installation by Shyda's Services Inc. within the next few weeks.
This step was necessary due to the deteriorating condition of the existing skeet machines. The Lincoln products are an exciting upgrade to our Skeet field and will offer greater enjoyment for our skeet shooting members. Stay tuned for updates.

Update on Skeet Range
The issue with the Low House is proving to be more problematic than expected. While we continue to search for a supplier of the parts required, we are also looking at alternatives.
We will get the skeet range back in operation as soon as possible. Check back here for updates, or attend the next Membership Meeting (2/12/13) to take part in the solution.
