The objective of the organization was to establish a safe location for general shooting, hunter safety and law enforcement training. A depleted gravel pit, known as the Wilkinson Gravel Pit located 5 miles South West of Cass Lake was chosen. In the fall of 2000 Cass County Environmental Service Dept. approved reclassification of the pit for use as a range and a lease agreement was entered into between Cass County and NMRA. The range was named Gordy Buchanan Memorial Range after a long time area conservation officer who conducted many hunter safely classes in that pit. With a matching grant from LCMR and the help of the Leech Lake Tribal Construction Crew, the initial dirt work of leveling the bottom of the pit and establishing the range was undertaken. Once the leveling and basic dirt work was done, the installation of some 100 yard target backers and bench rests made the pit start looking like a shooting range. Then came a trap shooting area with an old used manual trap thrower. That has now progressed to a more modern automatic PAT trap with an active summer trap league.

The idea of having anything which might be tainted with pig or beef fat in their mouths was totally unacceptable to the sepoys, and when they objected it was suggested that they were more than welcome to make up their own batches of cartridges, using a religiously acceptable greasing agent such as ghee or vegetable oil. A further suggestion that the Sepoys tear the cartridges open with their hands instead of biting them open was rejected as impractical — many of the Sepoys had been undertaking musket drill daily for years, and the practice of biting the cartridge open was second nature to them.

  • Public Hearing - Ordinance 17-09: Rifle Hunting of Deer
    XI. Agenda Item County of Hanover Board Meeting: September 27, 2017 Subject: Public Hearing - Ordinance 17-09: Rifle Hunting of Deer At the request of Community Development Committee Chairman Davis, staff researched the Summary of potential of allowing rifle hunting of deer in Hanover County. The current Hanover County Agenda Item: Code provision limits rifle hunting of deer to the use of muzzle-loading rifles during the special muzzle-loading deer season and during the general firearms deer season. Rifle hunting of other game is, however, allowed Code provisions of other localities governing rifles and rifle hunting were reviewed and found to be very diverse. However, a common element for most localities that allow rifle hunting of deer is that the caliber must larger than .22 and an elevated stand must be used. Chairman Davis invited Officer David Hennaman of the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries to address the Committee. Officer Hennaman noted statewide statistics over the last ten years pertaining to deer hunting. A total of 188 incidents of hunters hit by rifle or shotgun fire – 150 shotguns and 38 rifles. He discussed the provision of surrounding jurisdictions that allow rifle hunting of deer and noted that the majority of counties in Virginia allow it. He offer that rifle hunting is safer than shotgun hunting based on the statistics. The Sheriff’s Office was consulted and offered for consideration that if rifle hunting for deer is to be allowed, a rifle of .23 caliber or larger be use from an elevated stand at least ten feet above the ground.

  • Guide to Lead Management for Air Gun Shooting
    NLU #747 GUIDE TO LEAD MANAGEMENT FOR AIR GUN SHOOTING A Guide to Ensuring Participant Health during Air Rifle and Air Pistol Shooting through Proper Range Design, the Effective Man- agement of Lead Exposures, Personal Hygiene Practices and Range Cleaning Procedures. Produced by USA Shooting and the Civilian Marksmanship Program © USAS & CMP, 2017 INTRODUCTION LEAD MANAGEMENT FOR AIR GUN SHOOTING This Guide to Lead Management for Air Gun Shooting was pro- duced and published by USA Shooting and the Civilian Marksmanship Program to provide practical answers to the many questions that arise as a result of the use of lead pellets or projectiles during air rifle and air pistol target training and competitions. Lead is a toxic substance and when taken into the body in amounts ex- ceeding minimum amounts established by medical experts, it can have serious adverse health impacts. Fortunately, all available research shows that air gun shooters, regardless of age, do not face any health risks from air gun shooting if they follow proper hygiene practices and the air gun range is properly managed. This Guide provides the best information that is currently available re- garding a series of questions about the use of lead pellets for air gun shooting. The contents of the Guide are: Health and Environment Information Regarding the Use of Lead Pellets on Indoor Air Gun Ranges; this section summarizes available research data on issues related to air gun shooting. Guidelines for Air Gun Range Cleaning and Maintenance; an article that describes range cleaning procedures that tests show can success- fully reduce lead residues on range floors to non-detectable levels.
