SHOOTING SPORTS

IMPORTANT NOTICE - RANGE CLOSURE AS OF MAY 12, 2009

**Trap shooting open Thursday evening, May 14 and Friday morning, May 15.**
The pistol and rifle ranges are now closed until construction is  
completed.  The target tracks were dismantled today and everything will be  
moved to the rifle range tomorrow for storage.  In addition, the rifle  
range will be used for construction materials storage.  Ken will post  
range closure signs.

The trap range will have to be closed any time pistol and rifle range  
construction is ongoing.  We will have people and equipment north of  
the pistol range and downrange on the rifle range.  Trap shoots normally 
scheduled for Thursday evening, Friday morning, and the 2nd and 4th Sunday afternoons 
may have to be canceled, depending on the construction schedule. We will post closings here.

FIREARM RANGE STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES - The Firearm Range Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's) are posted here for your use. They are detailed, and certainly all of that detail will not apply to every shooting session, but the detail is there to be referred to if needed. The level of detail is the result of careful reading and suggestion by a wide cross-section of BISC shooters and NRA guidelines. These SOPs have been approved by the membership and are in effect.  If you have any feedback on these SOP's, send your comments via email to crso@bainbridgesportsmensclub.org or bring them to any board meeting.

IMPORTANT:  FARR work may preempt regularly scheduled range hours and require the cancellation of range operations, including classes and fun-gun competitions and events. This might happen on short notice depending on the needs of the FARR work group, and every effort will be made to avoid conflict.
