Safety Alert – The Skeet division reports finding fired 00 Buckshot shotshells on the skeet ranges. Also, a new shooter arrived at the skeet range with a box of 00 buckshot shells to shoot a round of skeet. The shells were replaced with suitable shotshells, and the shooter was allowed to shoot a round of skeet. The concern is that some members may be using 00 buckshot to shoot arial targets with their own handheld or machine launched targets. This is a dangerous practice as the buckshot could travel off the club property and endanger the trailer park or kids camp which border the club’s property. All members are advised to use bird shot NO LARGER than 71/2 when shooting at aeria+l targets to reduce the chance of shot falling off the club’s property .

Reminder – there is no using Tannerite or other exploding targets on the ranges at the WRGC. Explosions disturb our neighbors, and we try to be good neighbors.


The Future of Dinner Meetings are in your hands! Cooks are needed for our monthly dinner meetings! Please consider volunteering to head a team for one of our upcoming dinner meetings. Our Dinner Committee trainer, Glenn Pomerantz, can help guide you through the effort. Contact Glenn at 845.656.1284 or gapref01@gmail.com for more info.
