REMINDER TO ALL MEMBERS

Lockheed Martin's Workplace Security policy, SEC-003 is strictly enforced. One provision of the policy is a workplace free of weapons, which includes Firearms, Ammunition, Bows and Arrows. The club must emphasize this policy to our members. Additionally, a state issued CCW permit does not supersede nor over ride this LM policy. Members wanting to store firearms or archery equipment during the day ONLY, must contact Gene Adamson (303-971-1531) for access instructions.

Call Plant Protection (7-4646) if you have an incident or injury on the range.

ADDITIONAL REMINDER TO ALL MEMBERS AND RANGE USERS

• Please be sure to observe the speed limits on the range access road.

• Please be careful when driving on the roads, the horses may not move out of your way.

• Gate signs are in place indicating when horses are in the pasture – if the sign says “horses in pasture” they need to be kept closed. New signs have been added to help make sure it is clear if the gate should be open or closed.

• Archery Hunting boundaries have been significantly constrained due to hazardous propulsion testing – adherence to restrictions are MANDATORY – see Archery Section and your Archery representatives for more info!

• Watch out for Rattlesnakes at the range!

• If you do not have your child’s Hunter Education (HE) or Home Firearm Safety (HFS) Card you will be turned away from being able to shoot. Run a copy of the card and present it to the RSO the next time you are out. As these cards never expire, if you provide the copy once, you should be Ok for the future. If you need to get a copy of your HE card, call the Division of Wildlife or show a license that has the proof of Hunter Ed verified on it.

rso hotline, website, and training!!!

• Hotline: (303) 971-3798 WE ARE TRYING TO GET THE HOTLINE REPAIRED.

Archery Committee NEWS & Hunting Report

The Archery Pavilion has sustained major damage during the Holiday wind storms, the roofing and well as the rafters.

We are currently trying to assess the damage and get estimates on repair cost. In the mean time, the pavilion should not be used until repairs can be made.

One bull elk and one buck deer have been taken by archery hunters during the 2011 hunting seasons. Neither animal tested positive for CWD. The Hunting Privileges Letter has been signed by the company for the 2012 seasons.

The boundaries are different from 2010 due to hazardous propulsion operations and testing occurring this summer and fall. The following map shows the restricted areas and the current times they apply. If you have questions or concerns please contact your Archery committee or the SHFC Board.

The larger red circle is the exclusion zone in effect. The yellow shaded circle is off limits at all times until further notice.

* Only personnel who are SHFC members in good standing effective April 1 of the current year will be allowed to archery hunt the LMSSC property during the 2011 season.

* Anyone wanting to archery hunt the 2011 season must complete their 2011 work bond (any committee type) (Guests are exempt, but encouraged, from this requirement) prior to obtaining a 2011 permit.

* The definition of immediate family who may be a guest hunter includes spouse, child, grandchild, & parent of SHFC members.

* The following personnel are NOT included on the list given permission to archery hunt on

LMSSC property as a guest or member

* Brothers & Sisters, in laws, nephews, uncles, etc of SHFC members

* SHFC members who work for either the government or a subcontractor.

Other requirements include

* Must attend the safety/security briefing & hold a permit issued by plant protection

* Be in possession of a valid DOW hunting license

The archery hunter education card will be required for all personnel prior to getting a hunt permit.

Good News for Archery Hunting on Lockheed Martin Property for 2012.

My name is Tom Hanson, Senior Manager, Subcontract Management. Mitch Arnold has done a great job coordinating Archery hunting Privileges on LMSSC property for many years and he asked that I take over this task two years ago. I have taken the lead to make this happen with the help of Tony Miller and Matt Reetz. There are three of us to make sure that if someone has a question, someone will be around to answer those questions – phone numbers are on the Archery Hunting letter. There have been many changes in personnel in Human Resources along with Plant Protection and Emergency Services. These are the individuals who provide authorization for us to continue to Archery Hunt on the property. I contacted those individuals and set up meetings with each of them to discuss the importance of allowing the SHFC to continue to Archery Hunt on the property. We did not have any issues or violations during the 2011 season and I thank everyone for maintaining strict adherence to the rules for Archery Hunting on the property. Please read this year’s rules and regulations carefully so that we continue to ethically and safely hunt on LMSSC property.

One very important regulation for this year relates to testing that will take place at D4. I have been notified that testing will take place during the year and that notification will be within 24 hours of testing and notification is provided to Plant Protection and Emergency Services only. There will be nothing set up to call SHFC or Ridge Riders Club for this testing. You will see on the maps enclosed with the Archery Hunting letter, that there are two areas that are identified. The smaller area around D4 (marked in yellow on a color map) is a MANDATORY STAY OUT AREA. For 2012, no one shall enter this area at any time. The larger area (marked in red) is the restricted area. This restricted area is similar to the keep out area last year, however this year, the restricted area is enforced only during testing. How will you know? Plant Protection and Emergency Services does not and will not have a schedule for this testing activity but will have 24 hours notice – DO NOT CONTACT Plant Protection and Emergency Services to ask if there will be testing the day you want to go out. During the archery hunting activities this season, the Guards at the Front Gate will be made aware of testing activities for the day and will identify to those signing in that will be hunting on LMSSC property that the area is RESTRICTED. If the hunting area is RESTRICTED, you may not enter the red boundary area during that day. If there is no restriction identified by the guard at the front gate when you sign in and you are within the restricted area, if you hear a siren going off, this indicates that testing is about to commence and all must immediately leave the restricted area – IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BE AWARE OF THESE RULES AND REGULATIONS. Anyone violating this restricted space will be dealt with through Plant Protection and Emergency Services, SHFC and LMSSC Human Resources.

One way we can help identify the areas for MANDATORY and RESTRICTED areas will be by setting up markings with either tape flags on trees or vegetation plus flags in open areas similar to those flags you see in peoples yards to mark sprinklers or electrical lines on your property. We will set out these flags in the late July early August time frame and work with Plan Protection and Emergency Services to agree to the boundaries. We will not mark the entire area based on being near buildings and difficult terrain. We plan to mark those areas to help all of us know where the MANDATORY and RESTRICTED areas are. We will mark north, north-north-west and north-north-east of D4 in an arc. If you see the flags, please leave them where they are placed. If you happen to see a flag down, please put it back in place. We need your support to make this work.

I know that we are looking forward to this year’s Archery Season and I implore you all to do the right thing and continue to follow the rules and regulations set forth.

YOUTH SHOOTING SPORTS PROGRAMS

The SHFC Youth Program is beginning the process of contacting other clubs and ranges to set-up some fun, competition shooting for young people that will emphasize proper firearm handling, team and individual achievement goals, and foster participation in a competitive environment. Watch for a special club announcement for a late March meeting to bring yourselves and your kids to introduce them to the instructors and others interested in forming a league. Beginning shooters are encouraged to join and become a member of this activity. We planned on alternating Saturday’s and Sunday schedule to allow families that have plans one month to make a staggered schedule. We will plan our first Range shoot for Sunday April 1st, at 9am, and then the second shoot for Saturday, April 28th, at 9am. For more information on all youth shooting programs contact Paul Monce at 303-977-3823 or paul.a.monce@ or Gene Adamson at 303-971-1531, email, gene.adamson@.

YOUTH SHOTGUN:

The shotgun program will consist of informal trap shooting, a trap league, and a couple of trips to a sporting clays range. We could also try some skeet shooting if there’s enough interest.

BOY SCOUT TROOP ACTIVITY:

SHFC will continue to host Boy Scout Troops that wish to work on merit badge requirements. These shoots are normally held on either Saturday or Sunday from 0900 - 1300. This event normally takes place at the 100yd Range or Shotgun Range, and is also a range restricted event. Request from troops will be worked on a first come first served basis. For more information contact Paul Monce at 303-977-3823 or email at paul.a.monce@

• Mar 10 Sat, 09:00 – 13:00, Boy Scout troop shoot, Troop 554, Shotgun range.

Spring Practical Pistol Match – March 18th

It’s that time of the year for practical pistol shooters to come out of hibernation and there’s no better way of marking this occasion than coming out to the range and participating in a match! So check your gears, ensure you have plenty of ammo, pistol cleaned and in good working order. We’ll be using both the 100 yard and pistol ranges so both areas will be reserved for this event. Please plan on bringing about 150 rounds for 4 stages.

This event is open to all SHFC members and their guests. However, you must have prior experience in practical pistol events before you can participate. If you have no prior practical pistol experience or if it has been a while since you’ve done practical pistol, you have to go through a safety briefing/orientation even if you have a lot of shooting experience. If you are new to the sport and would like to participate, please contact me and we can schedule your safety orientation prior to this event.

8:00 AM – Stage set up

9:00 AM – Shooter’s meeting followed immediately with match start

If you would like to participate in the match, please contact me to let me know preferably on my home email address. This will allow me to record the names and get a head count to plan the match squadding accordingly. This will also provide me with the list of participants to contact in case we end up cancelling the match due to bad weather or range condition.

I would encourage everyone to visit the SHFC website and read “Practical Pistol at SHFC” under Committees/Program /Practical Pistol. This will provide you with some information that you’ll find helpful whether you have experience in practical pistol or more importantly, if you are new to practical pistol.

PLEASE NOTE: The 200yd range and Shotgun range are the only two ranges that will be available to non-participants from 8:00am to 2:00pm on Sunday March 18th.

Practical Pistol - classic

First match for 2012 is on April 4th. For info or questions contact Mike Sullivan 303.977.3478, Mike.C.Sullivan@

Practical Pistol Ladies Only

Tom has retired and the baton has been passed. I will be running both Monday night events now. Starting on April 23rd and then every other Monday, 5-7 pm, we will be hosting the Practical Pistol Ladies Only activity. We meet at the gate around 4:15, and head to the range no later than 4:30. Only instructors get to talk to the Ladies, the other men have to remain silent and help with the brassing, target maintenance and score keeping. Same format as last year, bring your semi-auto pistol and 100 rounds of ammo. All shoes need to be closed toed and good flat bottomed shoes/boots are necessary, no sandals or other open toed shoes. Please wear a hat with a brim/bill and pants/shorts, not skirts. The spring and summer should be great since the winter has been so challenging. I hope to see you there. Call Dave Norris at 303-977-8068, or email at david.w.norris.jr@.

Practical Pistol – Lite

Practical Pistol Lite is starting back up on April 16th, and goes every other Monday through September.

For those of you who are new to Practical Pistol, this affords less experience shooters and opportunity to come out with a group of like-minded shooters and practice defensive skills. As always we will first and foremost focus on range safety. This year we are limiting participation to semi-automatics pistols in the effort to speed up the courses and get more shooting for everyone. Make sure your equipment (Pistol, Holster, Mag pouches) is in good repair and good working order. We meet at the gate around 4:15, and head to the range no later than 4:30. Since April and May weather is so challenging, please dress in layers so you can stay warm just in case it gets cold. There has never been a better opportunity to tune your defensive pistol skills, and create a defensive mindset . Call Dave Norris at 303-977-8068, or email at david.w.norris.jr@.

SUper tuesday Competition pistol (STCP)

First match for 2012 is tentatively scheduled for April 3rd depending on the weather. Contact Benjamin Go @ (303) 971-1009 or benjamin.r.go@ for additional info.

3-gun

Please note the date changes for the 3 Gun matches. We will concentrate on target transition and movement. 3-Gun matches are held once a month on Saturday mornings. Setup starts at 8:30 am with first shot at 9 am. Remaining match date for this season are: March 10th and April 14th. For those new to 3-gun, it is similar to our Wednesday night practical pistol except we shoot the pistol, shotgun and semi-auto carbine/rifle for a combination of accuracy and speed. Getting bored sitting at the bench shooting paper targets? Want to develop your action shooting skills, shoot on the move, handle shooting under physical and mental pressure, add new dimensions to your shooting skills, refine and test your shooting gear? 3-Gun is the game for you. Shooters of all levels are welcome. 3-Gun’s goals are safety, skill development, fun and challenge. Shooters new to practical action shooting should call ahead to arrange a safety briefing. Contact Walter Tang at 303-977-6474 or email walter.w.tang@ to get on the mailing list. I usually send out the stage description before the shoot so you’ll know what to expect and how much ammo to bring.

Dates and locations for 3-Gun events:

• Pistol House: March 10th, April 7th

Here are results from a recent match:

.22 RIMFIRE SPORTER MATCH NEWS & SCORE SHEET

This activity is similar in format to the high-power service rifle competition and will follow the guidelines described in the Civilian Marksmanship Program guide.

To encourage participation, SHFC will allow ANY rifle capable of firing .22 long rifle ammunition, either bolt action, magazine fed, or, semi-automatic. Any type of sights or scopes of no more than 6 X are allowable. (Variable power scopes which go beyond 6X, can be set to 6X max.) The match will be fired at distances of 50 and 25 yards using paper targets and will consist of unlimited sighting shots followed by 60 shots for record in position stages of prone, sitting or kneeling, and standing.

No special equipment is required but a spotting scope or binoculars may be helpful during the sighting stage and a mat or carpet runner would be helpful for the prone and sitting stages. The club can provide these if one is not handy. This event is for both beginners and experienced shooters of all ages and is a fun, low cost activity which will definitely improve your marksmanship skills.

This match will continue on the 1st Saturday of every month, following the .22 rimfire silhouette match, beginning 11:00 am. For more information or any questions, call Corey Kroll @ 7-5507 or Gene Adamson @ 1-1531.

LEVER ACTION SHOOTERS

Vito DeAngelis is gauging interest in a club sponsored match for lever action shooters. Some preliminary thoughts are a mix of targets both steel and paper, potentially in the March/April timeframe. The goal is to make this a SIMPLE, FUN, NO PRESSURE shoot that does not turn into an equipment race. Vito is looking for feedback while fleshing out a course and rules. If you have a 125 year old .45-70 that can hit the broad side of a barn, you’ll be competitive. For more details, contact Vito vito.deangelis@

DUCKS UNLIMITED

Hello Highlands Ranch area Ducks Unlimited Supporter

We want to personally invite you to a special Ducks Unlimited committee gathering and DU presentation, Wednesday, March 14, 2012. There will be a brief discussion about what DU does and how easy it is to be involved in what we do. We’ll also have some hunting & calling tips by friend of the ducks, Josh Montague, of Stillwater Outfitters.

Being part of DU is a great way to meet fellow sportsmen and sportswomen (i.e., find out where the best hunting and fishing is), and make a difference in the future of conservation and waterfowl hunting. We’re not asking for a big commitment, just show up and learn more about DU. After that, you can contribute whatever time and energy you feel appropriate. We welcome anyone who might like to learn more about DU – from putting on banquets to simply selling a couple tickets; all levels of support are appreciated.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Where: “On The Border Restaurant ”, 8555 S. Quebec St. Highlands Ranch Separate Covered Patio Area on the right as you enter.

• When: Wednesday March 14th, 6:00pm DU presentation, and informal discussion. This will precede the normal chapter meeting which will begin at 7:00pm

• Why: To get right to the point: we’re planning our annual banquet for May 3rd so there’s a lot of activity and it’s a great time to get involved locally.

• Why Else: This is great way to secure & support your passion, meet great people who share your passion, and have a great deal of fun in the process.

What’s required: Nothing really. Just show up, meet some people, learn about DU, and decide if you want to participate in the future. There’s no cost and no commitment required. At the very least, you’ll enjoy some complimentary beverages, pick up some conservation information and learn about DU. Just for attending, you’ll enjoy free raffle tickets and a free 1yr membership to Ducks Unlimited.

Next Step(s):

• RSVP if you can make it – just so that we can get an approximate head-count.

• If you can’t make it to this but still want to be involved, please contact me and we’ll include you on future committee activities.

• BRING YOUR FRIENDS, and forward this email to any of your friends and colleagues who are passionate about conservation and who you think might want to participate.

SHARE YOUR PASSION and be part of a conservation legacy, I hope to see you there!

Sincerely,
