Silhouette rails.  For the Shooting house we are looking for a  tent type structure
which can be used when needed until a permanent structure can be built.   More
discussion will follow.  Work will start when the weather  warms up.  If you have access
to a large tent please contact Dan Farmer.
Old Business
New activities and new revenue sources where discussed
We have found several sources where we can purchase reloading supplies.  These
will be done as bulk orders placed by the club.  A good discount is available and the
club will profit as well.  More information to follow.
We can also purchase shotgun shells at a discounted rate if you would like to stock
up for the season.  This will also help reduce the inventory  the club has to keep on
hand.
Lead cast bullets are also available at a discounted rate and the club will make a
profit here also.
We are a NRA recruiter.  If you renew your NRA membership through the club the
club receives $5.  New NRA members the club receives $10.
A secure metal box is needed to be used as a donation box on the lower ranges.  
Can anyone make this for the club?  
Lead reclamation is not possible due to the location of trees in the main shot drop
zone.
Events:
1.  Pistol league or matches using the new pistol range.  45 caliber?
2.  Open shooting on Sundays this summer.    Educational Events could also be
included.  As well as indoor  22’s or archery.
3.  Silhouette  league with 22’s this summer.  Joe Sciascia will help organize this event.
4.  3D Archery Silhouette league this summer.  Probably held on a honor system with
course changed weekly.  Dan will talk to Joe about this.
5. Park cars over 4th of July at NAPA in Columbus.   Dan will get more information on
this.
Steve Steinbeck made a motion that profits from the 22 indoor pistol league be used
to pay for a concrete  pad for the new outdoor pistol range.  Dewayne Kuenzi
seconded  and the motion carried.

New Business
The new Trap machine is at Dans.  The machine will be installed and the old machine
repaired when the weather is better.  The lights on the Trap field will be repaired
when the weather is better.
Dan reports that the prices of clay targets has declined slightly for this season.  
If members would like to purchase shotgun shells for the season at a discount please
contact Dan.  This will help keep the club from having to carry the inventory and have
money tied up.
Larry Haseman has a great monthly special for club members on a Pentax 4x12x40
scope which comes with a pair of 10x22 binoculars.  Regular cost is $385.  Club
member price $185  Visit www.hasemanenterprises for more information. Click on
photo gallery button and you'll see all the many products available to club members
at a great discount.  The club makes a little money on these also so buy early and
buy often!.  Contact Larry if interested.
Discussion was held on the state of the club website.  
Discussion was held on the condition of the lower range ceiling.  Also the floor of the
covered area outside the clubhouse.  There is considerable leaking of water even
though extensive effort was made to seal all the cracks.  There is considerable
damage to the spancrete.  Enclosing the entire area, putting drain tile around the
area, and sealing the gap between the spancrete and poured floor  was discussed.  It
is suspected that moisture is coming in from the sides between the poured concrete
floor and the spancrete.  Art will try to contact an expert and have the situation
evaluated.  If you have any contacts in this area and can help please contact Art
Schregardus 326-4139.
Installing a bracket to hang a TV on for the hunters education classes etc was
discussed.
Motion to adjourn was made by Art Schregardus and seconded by Steve Steinbeck.

Next meeting date March 18th at 7pm at the clubhouse.  All members are welcome
and any input and help is appreciated!
