Just curious do I need a sponsoring member to join? I noticed it asks on application.
Nope. You should be fine without one.
Thanks. Thinking about joining. Not digging what I'm hearing about Angle Tree in N. Attleboro.
Yep, no sponsors needed, but if you want to check out the facility give a shout out. I may be able to get some time on Sat or Sun evening

Yes, the range is still a range.
Yes and hopefully it never changes. The Range was first and the school second. So they are aware. Although, member's should always be vigilant and be sure to follow all range rules, ex.. shooting into the berm only, NO exploding targets, etc.
I can only imagine what would happen if a stray bullet, god forbid, was found on school property or the unspeakable happened.
I recall when a stray bullet WAS found in a car's windshield in Raynham. The police were quick to investigate the range. Obviously other's could have shot it while hunting, or illegally discharging in the area... but the range was investigated and in the news!

If it is the case I am thinking of the "bullet" in the windshield was a piece of copper wire from the highway.
When is the date on the next steel plate shoot? Is it the 19th of this month?
Thanks
Thanks

Yes. 19th of October, with rain date of October 19th.
Thanks Ben!
Any idea when next outdoor work party is going to be? Don't see anything on the website. Was at the range today and there is a huge pile of busted up target holders.

Supposedly?
The October meeting served as both the annual and monthly meeting, and was open to all members. It was publicized per our bylaws...and if you purchased a ticket, the date of the drawing is printed on the same.
Toward the end of the meeting, after the election of the E-board, ticket stubs were sealed and the container was shaken and passed around by most of the membership who bothered to attend. A winner was drawn, and within 1 hour this person was contacted and responded to the president

Those are illegal in MA
I thought it wasn't illegal to be illegal in mass.....
Seriously no explosions on the ranges, unless it's competing out of a nagant....

Seems like the check for the application fee was cashed. Hopefully that is a good sign.

Steel Plate Shoot, October 19, 2014
The Presidents Challenge Steel Plate Shoot held last month was such a hit that we have decided to hold another shoot Sunday, October 19, 2014 at our outdoor range. Set up will start at 9am and the shooting will begin at 10am. Squads and rules will be the same as the Presidents Challenge and the entry fee remains $5. First place takes $15 and second takes $5. This is a challenging and exciting competition and we hope to see you there.
How was the steel plate shoot? Wanted to attend, but couldn't' resist a refreshing swim in Bass River.

I think it went well. There were fewer new faces, but we still had 9 full relays, and several informal shooter v. shooter competitions afterwards. A few folks show dramatic improvement over the past month, and some folks cared enough to dig out the old race gun.
There should be photos posted to the club site 'soon'.
In other news, steel is still heavy.

Pistol league is on Tuesday nights, from 7 - 9-ish. If only one team is at home, the west range should be available.
The Jr. Rifle Team has the exclusive use of the main range on Wednesday nights, west range available. The team may shoot on other nights also [many members are currently practicing on Monday night]
