membership approved the new bylaws at the Annual Club and Board meeting on
Tuesday 12-1-09.
The new Board
was also elected. See the web page under 2010 election. The new Board
officers will not be
selected
until the Jan meeting. The Annual Left Out of Rio USPSA/IPSC pistol match
on Nov. 21 & 21 was a complete success.
We had 112
shooters many were from out of state. This match and the recent shotgun
match are not only good for
the Club but
good for the City economy. hl
11-16-2009 The Pistol and Rifle ranges will all be closed on
Nov. 21 & 22 due to a major 2 day USPSA/IPSC
pistol match. We have over 100

update the data base. The last time we tried
to send out an e-mail notice
over 100 came back with bad addresses. We have over 625 members in the
data
base and it is very easy to make a typing error. hl
10-8-2009 At the Club meeting on Tues. 10-6-09 the
Board approved the new Bylaws and new Range and
Safety Rules. The Bylaws will be placed on the Dec. ballot.

We
have just been informed that the Sniper Craft competition scheduled for October
has been
cancelled due to budget constraints on the parts of the participants.
Hopefully next year will be
better financially for them
since our range is something of which we are rightly proud and
sharing it with
others is truly a pleasure. SH

8/30/2009: Don't Forget, Business/Board Meeting is this Tuesday
September
1st at 6:30 pm at the range house. All members are invited and encouraged to
attend.
If there are any suggestions that you want to make, the meeting is the place
to do it. See You All There!!!
8/21/2009 Suggestions - This is a new site and
we need advice like is the type font to small. You
will notice that the width is very narrow so that it shows ok on small screens.
If your screen
skips showing only one word on the next line please advise us. If you have a
hard time reading
go to the bottom right of you computer screen and click on the 100% button, it
will increase the
size up to 400%. Due to virus problems we will not use the newsletter to go to
link to unknown
sites. hl
8/21/2009 Range Officers - Please listen to
the advice of the Range Officers, they are non paid
members of the club who give their time for the safety of the shooters and
spectators. On
Sat. and Sun. we have open shooting and some of the shooters Do Not have any
safety
training or even common sense. It is the responsibility of all shooters to tell
another
shooter if they see a safety violation. The person they shoot might be you! hl
8/20/2009 Front Gate - After you open the
front gate secure it by hooking the chain over the
hook on the post. We had to buy a new gate last year because the wind blew the
gate into a
vehicle. Secure the gate behind you unless it is to be left open for a match.
Members should
all have the combination. Do Not leave the pad lock in a unlocked position
because it will
show the combination. After locking the lock turn the tumblers more than one
number.
The small chain is to prevent damage and loss of the lock
not for securing the gate. If you
find the gate unlocked Do Not lock it unless you check all the ranges to be sure
no one is
on the facility like the police range or construction workers. hl
8/18/2009 Thanks to a
suggestion from Steve McLaughlin I changed some pages so when you
click on a
site that takes you to another site, the page will open in a new window. This will allow
the user to click on the new window while keeping open the original web page. You can then close
this page and our site
will still be open. This will only be done on sites to remote locations because
they do not have a back button. hl aka webmaster
8/18/2009 A new Club web site is now up
and running. The site is not
complete but when it is
finished is will be kept very simple so it comes up fast. Sites with a lot of
animated icons and
music my be nice to look at the first couple of times but they make the pages
to slow. We will
be using a lot of links from other members sites, so the information can be up to date without
waiting for
the webmaster. Please leave your comments or suggestions by sending an e-mail
to webmaster@havasusportsman.com
Sherren at rguns will be the online newsletter editor.
