Guests are required to sign in as well under their hosts badge number.</p><p>Side protection will need to be installed along the Pistol Overhead where the hanging targets are used. Bullet jacket material is spraying off the plates and reaching as far as the Rifle Shed at the end of the Firing Line. Possibly 1 section of Stockade Fencing should fix this. All members are reminded that Eye and Ear protection of all members and guests is highly encouraged.</p><p>1 New member was accepted into the Club, Bill Wenstrom.</p><p>A motion was made, seconded and passed to adjourn the meeting at 9:25 PM.</p>
