Request that people email or contact Preston to volunteer as a non board member some of the tasks that need to be done.
Chick Richards. Update – Project 2020 is fencing in the park near the road and will be putting a timelock. We requested 4am to 10pm but that was not acceptable. This will prevent the 4 wheelers. They agreed 6:30 am to 8:00 pm at night. After are in you can get out, you just can’t get back in. Chick is getting 4 remotes for the “Officers” to have and leave one in the office. No keypad. They will be fencing the entire area in.
Mike Manning. Work parties pulling the targets in the back foward on the 20 yard line. We will angle the lights to shine on the target face. Change out the target butts on the 10 yard line. The first impression of the 10 and 20 yard should look good as its the first impression of the public. We need to number the 20 yard range and to add the 5 ft waiting line, dead arrow line to get the NFAA indoor range certification.
We additionally want to work on the drainage on the 20 yard for during the rains.
