Thanks for that, the 50yd team works hard to keep the place looking well. I think they came in on Sat, my only dedicated club day is Sunday.

Well you can coordinate with the range chair and pick your times, sure the suggestion is 4 hours but more is appreciated. Teams of volunteers are what keep the club running, a few good reliable folks have moved on and well, its a shorthanded situation all around.
Yes, it was a Saturday.
I know you guys are there every Sunday morning starting at 5 am. That core group really is the team that keeps the place running smoothly...so thanks for all of that work!

In communication with Jason and Mark, tentatively, we’re thinking this Sunday morning [7:30 AM] could work with a couple other guys.

Is anyone on board with a “bring out your noisemakers“ on Thursday afternoon early evening?
Was anyone at HSC this afternoon (july 2)? I saw two large aircraft flying really low and wanted to see if anyone else did. one of the tails had USAF on it, but other than that I have no idea what they were. The must have been a few hundred feet up.
Flew over my house in Dunstable too, went to flight tracker right away and nothing on the radar?? (though I am not a member/customer)
Yeah, @gerrycaruso hired them to run surveillance to catch whoever is shooting down the steel at the 100 
Collins Foundation.
Hudson MA has one of the best collections of historical airplanes and military ground vehicles in the United States, most of which are theoretically operational. They have (I think) one of two privately held M1 Abrams tanks in the whole country (but don't fact check that).
The American Heritage Museum
The American Heritage Museum at the Collings Foundation featuring the Jacques M. Littlefield Collection explores major conflicts ranging from the Revolutionary War until today.

Their advertising is not great; a shocking number gun and defense geeks literally living in the same town don't know they're there. But it's a better collection than, say, the actual US Army has at Ft. Belvoir.
Doing the flu thing. Count me as tentative.
There is a piece of track at the range, I have not yet moved it down range so I’m hoping it’s still there.

The American Heritage Museum is a pretty cool place. Besides having an unbelievable collection, they do several reenactments and have a couple of WWII tanks that the public can drive. It's not as easy as it looks and definitely not roomy.
This looked modern. I'd say maybe a C-130, but I don't know much about planes. Also they were really low and not on flightradar24.Collins Foundation.

Make sure to be done by 9 am!
Definitely could have been someone else as I wasn't at HSC
Was a good day for flying generally.

These guys/group is awesome! The attended a shoot(possibly multiple) at the Monadnock Rod and Gun club back in their heyday. The brought some cool full auto and I was luck enough to shoot their original STG-44! if you think you hear and feel the spring moving in an old a1 ar stock, shoot an STG!

Harvard is a great club and with such a huge membership, there's no shortage of volunteers to do the many projects it takes to keep the club running. Unfortunately that huge membership contains people who feel the need to destroy club property. Since the board seems to be unwilling to deal with this problem, the volunteers will keep fixing what others have destroyed. I'll cut brush and other vegetation to open shooting lanes but I won't waste my time repairing what others have shot to pieces either negligently or maliciously.

We’re all systems go for tomorrow at 7:30 AM at the 100 yard range if anyone else would care to join. Pretty straightforward job: clearing the tall grass downrange by the wooden footbridge.

I want to see a video of you clean/pressing that piece of track three times, then taking three shots at the steel target.

Brush cutting was highly successful today.
Very clear view of the targets now!

I know there's water to the left towards the shotgun range but is there any to the right?
It's currently wet but not boggy. Far left ~12 inches in spots. Becoming less while moving towards the right.
Nice work Rocky, looking mucho better.

It looks very nice. If there's no water flowing through that area, do we need a culvert? Can't we just fill it in and plant grass? That would eliminate the cutting and the bridge.

Thank you for showing me the way!
