Foosland Sportsmen’s Club CMP Clinic and Shoot 04/13/13

22 shooters attend a CMP Service Rifle Clinic held at the clubhouse on 4/13/2013. The class covered the techniques used to shoot the iron sighted battle weapons of history like the M1 Garand, 1903 A3 Springfield and the AR15. The marksmanship training continued out to the firing line where the participants got to fire these rifles and practice the skills they learned in the classroom. After a great lunch provided by Chef Ray, ten shooters took to the firing line in a CMP 30 shot competition. The results are listed below.

The CMP Clinic and shoot were held at the Foosland Sportsmens Club today. There were 23 people who attended the Clinic. Jeff Porter and his team did a great job instructing the participants.  They also shot a pair of Match Relays.

     In other news the new gutters were installed on the clubhouse this morning. They look great. Thank You to GOODWIN GUTTERS for the great job they did.

Membership runs July 1 through June 30. We will be sending out renewal forms in late May early June.

*DO NOT send in your dues until you have received your RENEWAL NOTICE.* This will help with our record keeping. Thank you.

Here is some of what was discussed at the March meeting:

Splatterboard season is now over. Thank you all for participating and helping with the season. It was a Successful,Fun time. We will start again in September.

A new power supply was put in place for the Trap field lights

The Bid was accepted for Gutters on the Clubhouse. They will be installed later this Spring.

We got a $5000 grant from the FRIENDS OF THE NRA. This is a Range Improvement Grant to be used for replacing the Concrete around the Clubhouse.

Friday night Trapshoots have been picking up. 20+ shooters the last few events.

23 students completed the NRA Basic Pistol Class this past weekend. These classes have been picking up as well.

WOW, it only took 10 days for the IDNR Hunter Safety class, being held Friday and Saturday March 29-30th, to fill up. The class is now closed. I will try and hold another Hunter Safety class in August. Keep an eye on the Calendar for updates.

Come out and take a look at the new paint job in the Clubhouse. Over the past week, several members have repainted the inside of the building. It looks really good! New storage was added and some of the furnishings were moved to improve the space.

Thanks to all for the much needed improvement.

19 Regular shoots + 4 Youth shoots
