Club News

President’s Corner

We’re now well into the Autumn season and Winter is approaching and with it, the conclusion of the busy season for SHFC sanctioned and formal shooting and archery events. We’ve seen some outstanding activities this year and some impressive performances from members and guests. I would like to acknowledge and commend all the event chairpersons and staff for the truly outstanding professional support they provide to the club. Their dedication to the club and spirit of volunteerism keeps SHFC a vibrant and fun organization. In behalf of the Board, a hearty “well done” to all of you!

The Board is finalizing our approach for operating the rifle ranges as “one range” for purposes of coordinating ceasefires. Thanks to those of you who have sent me comments and suggestions. If you haven’t had the opportunity to do so, please send your thoughts to dennis.dal.pra@.

I hope to have the final version of the Company/SHFC operating charter to present to the Board this month. Details of any changes in operations will be communicated to club members through the newsletter, special mailings, club meetings and the SHFC web site. The Board also expects to publish revised Range Rules soon to formalize the changes we’ve discussed in prior newsletters and club meetings. Please also be aware of the new signage at the range that is capturing these changes. Our continuing focus on safety first and foremost is critical.

I represented SHFC at a meeting with company Facilities Operations management, along with representatives from the Ridge Riders equestrian club. The purpose of the meeting was to review the roles and responsibilities of the company and clubs related to operations of our respective club facilities on LM property. As a reminder to club members, the company has taken over responsibility for the range road maintenance. Any club member who becomes aware of a road maintenance or access condition, including mud or rockslide, should notify a Board member as soon as possible. Members must pay heed to the road status sign at the entrance gate on S. Wadsworth Blvd. If the “Road Closed” sign has been activated, members must not attempt to enter the SHFC facility.

Finally, let me take this opportunity on behalf of the Board to wish all club members and your families a happy and healthy Thanksgiving. Be safe.

Pasture Rotation and RAnge Road gates

There are no planned pasture moves in November that’ll affect the range road. You will be notified of future rotations that affect the range road via email notification, this newsletter and the club website. Due to weather and other reasons, the planned pasture rotations may change. Please follow the range road pasture gate instructions. Thank you.

The 50% discount on Redding equipment that SHFC is currently enjoying will expire on Dec 31. Based on this year’s volume so far, next year our discount will be 33.3%. If you want to maximize on the discount let's order this year. November 26th is the cutoff for all 2008 orders, with the order being mailed in during the first week of December. This will insure that you get your stuff before the Christmas break. EMAIL me your order before then and I will process it, but the sooner, the better. Don’t snooze, or you’ll lose. I will not place any new order during the Christmas break; too much of a hassle. Thanks. Vito 7-9527 [vito.deangelis@]

Status of club FFl

Our purchasing team has finalized the club’s purchasing process document and has finalized arrangements for the new FFL premises. We are now past the 30-day address change process with BATF and trying to resolve the delay. Watch for the formal “back in business” announcement in next month’s newsletter.

Electronic Gate

Per the SHFC Range Rules, each club member is required to "wand" their electronic gate card at the electronic gate for accountability. This will also reset the arm’s timer so it doesn’t come down on your vehicle. If the gate is locked open, listen for the “beep” as confirmation that badge was read. Upon leaving the range, each person should push the gate open button so the arm’s timer is reset so it doesn’t come down on your vehicle on the way out.

WORK BOND

The latest list of work bond jobs is listed at the website . Click the “Workbond “ tab and then “ Job List”. If you want to volunteer for one of the jobs or a task you think needs to be done please contact the Workbond Chair, Michael Eubank @ 303-971-2860, michael.e.eubank@ . Work Bond that you volunteered for with a specific committee should still be coordinated through that committee chair who will coordinate with Michael. Thank you for your help and participation.

members input

Successful Hunt

After 5 years of hunting Colorado area 51, SHFC member Ivan Collazo, finally got his elk on October 18th. A nice 11 pointer “with a funny flat antler on the right side”. Ivan first spotted the elk at 8:00 am. Unfortunately he didn’t have his rifle with him since he was that sure he wasn’t going to see anything. After getting his rifle, he found the bull again about 286 yards away according to his range finder. After his shot, the bull ran west around a hill. Ivan found tracks where the elk was when he shot but no sign of blood. Thinking he’d missed, Ivan tracked the prints around the hill and saw the bull next to a log not far from where he was shot. The shot placement was perfect, centered on a vertical line with the elbow and back bone. The bullet did not go all the way through and later examination at the butcher shop revealed the bullet had hit a rib on the way in. After getting whiny excuses from 2 “best” friends he’d called for help, Ivan dragged the bull by himself and made it to the road by 6:30 pm. Ivan’s elk was the biggest one at the butcher shop when he brought it in the next day. For more pictures and Ivan’s first hand account, go to SHFC’s website and look under “Activities/Events”.

Trap and Skeet Equipment

A member asked about getting certified on the shotgun range to operate the trap and skeet equipment.

The certification of shotgun range officers for using the trap and skeet equipment is at the discretion of the trap and skeet chairman and basically involves an apprenticeship or mentoring program where over time, the interested member is trained on the proper and safe use of the equipment and running of a trap and/or skeet shoot in a proficient and safe manner. This usually happens during the scheduled daylight savings time weekday shoots and the member must demonstrate a high level of competence on what he/she is trained on and a commitment to support and further SHFC’s shotgun programs. The electric trap and skeet equipment is not intended for an individual’s use . For the general SHFC member, the club has the manual thrower for casual use. Use of the electrical throwers are limited to the scheduled weekday shoots or members can call the list of certified shotgun range officers (available on the website under “Committees/Programs”, “Shotgun Committee”) to schedule a shoot at other times such as weekends based on availability. A once a month off-Friday skeet shoot is starting this month and is expected to be year round if there is enough demand. A weekend trap shoot is likely to start after hunting season. These new regular shotgun shoots may be apprenticeship opportunities for members serious about getting certified and supporting SHFC.

Range Work Conflict

A member reported that he was told he should not be at the range when he showed up about half hour early to setup for the trap shoot. During work days when the range is closed to members for shooting (7:00 am to 4:00 pm), the range is sometimes used by Law Enforcement Agencies and LMSS Plant Protection. The range reservation is coordinated through Plant Protection and SHFC. Usually the LEA or Plant Protection has no problem with member volunteers as long as they are not in the way. In the incident above, the range was being used by a company program and they were not aware that members might show up before 4:00 pm. To avoid possible conflicts in the future, volunteers who plan to perform work (maintenance) on the range during the closed (non-shooting) hours, please contact Gene Adamson, 303-971-1531, Walter Tang, 303-977-6474 or Dave Mulholland, 303-977-3674. SHFC encourages range maintenance during range closed hours to minimize impact on available shooting hours. Due to late notices and sensitive nature of the scheduling it is not feasible to have this information in the club calendar on our unrestricted club website.

Note Worthy Follow-up

For those that might have missed Jim Gilmore’s winning game calling demonstration at the Bass Prop Shops Deer and Elk hunting Archery Weekend event last month, here’s a picture of Jim in action. Jim has been doing game calling seminars for over 25 years. Jim has worked with many sporting good stores and has been a pro staff shooter for archery organizations over his 25 years with Lockheed Martin. Jim’s a NFAA certified instructor for archery and a PSE certified repair tech. Jim has taken more than 90 big game with his bow by using his “Calling Tec necks”. Jim has volunteered to present his winning gaming calling demonstration/seminar at one of our future member’s meeting. Watch for notice.

HUNTER EDUCATION 2008

Regular Hunter Ed

The schedule for the rifle/regular hunter education is listed below. The current instructors are Gene Adamson, Mitch Arnold, Don Biesecker, Dave Unruh, Jim Gilmore, Ron Steen, Bill Wilson, Mike Jacobs, Mike McKaig, Ken Ruiz, Margaret Rothermel, Clayton Allen, Bob Ventura, and Jim Ball. Hunter Education always needs help in both the classroom and range. If you are interested in helping out in either the rifle and/or archery hunter education courses contact: Gene Adamson at 1-1531 or Mitch Arnold at 7-2117 and we’ll get you started.

November: 18th, 19th & 20th (Classroom) - 22nd (Range)

Students must attend the 3 classroom sessions (Tues, Wed, & Thurs; 6:00 to 9:00 P.M.) and the range session (Saturday 8:30 A.M. to 3:00 P.M.) to complete the course. All classes will be held at the clubhouse in the SHFC recreation area. You must attend all four days in a month’s session. Cost for the class is $10. Pre-register by calling any of the instructors. A minimum of 10 students are needed at first class to continue the class. Classes are open to the public.

NRA CLASSES

NRA classes are completed for the year. Since April 2008, there have been 3 Basic Pistol courses and 5 Personal Protection in the Home (PPITH) courses conducted by SHFC instructor corps. This effort equates to 95 students completing and receiving certificates from the courses which taught concepts ranging from safe pistol handling for beginners as well as home defense concepts and techniques. The courses are offered to club members, family, and friends at significantly reduced fees that an individual might find outside the club. Additionally, the entire instructor corp conducts these courses on a 100% voluntary basis.

The Basic Pistol course teaches students safe pistol handling and usage skills for .22 LR semi-automatic pistols and .22 LR revolvers, as well as disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly procedures. The course objectives also include all safe gun handling and ammunition knowledge. NRA Basic Pistol courses are geared for a beginning shooter with little or no experience with firearms.

The Personal Protection course, which is taken primarily as a state requirement to apply for and receive a Conceal Carry Permit, teaches the home safety and self defense procedures in case of home intrusions. This course is conducted with personal defense in mind, so personal defense calibers of .38 Spl., 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45ACP are primarily taught and used. There are also sections in the course designed to give students ideas about their choice for a personal defense handgun. A range session is conducted where students are taught fundamentals of pistol handling in a self defense scenario as well as other methods of protection when faced with life-threatening encounters. The class also features a presentation regarding personal defense and the law from a licensed and practicing lawyer. Many students think that the lawyer’s presentation combined with the Q&A session is some of the most valuable information available, and that opportunity distinguishes PPITH from the Basic Pistol course. The classes are well received, always completely full, and are booked well in advance with many people requesting additional course dates.

The demand for courses is so great that the club added 7 new instructors to the instructor corps in 2008, and the club is negotiating to add the NRA’s Personal Protection Outside the Home course to its offering for 2009 and beyond. Stay tuned for additional details.

Practical Pistol

The 2008 Wednesday Night Practical Pistol will finish the season with some low light shoots and close after 19 November. Setup starts at 4:45 pm and shooting starts at 5:00 pm after the safety orientation. Our Wednesday night shoots are informal USPSA/IPSC/IDPA type stages. The game is accuracy and speed and we emphasize safety and fun. On the 3rd Wednesdays of the month, we have a tactical shotgun stage along with the pistol. Call Mike Sullivan (303-977-3478). We’ve had excellent participation from members and their guests this year averaging just under 20 shooters. The stages have been fun and challenging. Much thanks to Mike Sullivan, George Riedmuller and Dave Mulholland for the stage designs; Larry Wilchek, Eric Jurta, Dave Mulholland and Adam Douglas for doing the scores, and the whole practical pistol squad for setup/tear down, running of the stages and making the shoots so much fun. Here’s a pic of the motley crew that showed up 10/1/08.

Summer/Winter 3-gun

The last Summer 3-Gun of the season was held on Sunday the 5th. Three fun stages and an exciting prize shoot-off. The shoot-off was won by Brian Sompayrac who came from behind to beat Ben Go in the double elimination shoot-off to take the prize, DVD of the movie “Heat”. . The Winter 3-Gun series, hosted by Dave Mulholland, will start in November with the traditional first shoot the day after Thanksgiving. 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. Typical ammo requirement is roughly 25 rounds of pistol, 50 rounds of rifle, 25 rounds of shotgun (mostly birdshot and occasionally 5 rounds of slug and buckshot) if you don’t miss. Contact Dave at 303-977-3674 with questions on Winter 3-gun.

This match is for all you “plinkers” out there! ANY type of rifle capable of firing .22 long rifle ammunition is allowable and need not be a specialty or target rifle. This includes any bolt action, single shot or magazine fed, and semi-automatic .22 rifles. Any type of open sights or scopes of no more than 6X are allowable. (Variable power scopes which go beyond 6X, can be set to 6X max.) The match will be fired at a distance of 50 yards using NRA 50 yard targets and will consist of unlimited sighting shots and 60 shots for record in stages consisting of prone, sitting or kneeling, and standing.

No “fancy schmancy” equipment is required or, in many cases, allowed. A spotting scope or binoculars may be helpful during the sighting stage but definitely not required. This event is for both beginners and experienced shooters of all ages which will be a fun, low cost activity and will also improve your marksmanship skills. This match will continue on the 1st Saturday of every month, right after the .22 rimfire silhouette match, beginning at noon. For more information or any questions, call Gene Adamson @ 1-1531 of Corey Kroll @ 7-5507.

Fishing News update

As our newsletter editor indicated in last month’s newsletter with a consice one liner fishing report

“Gone Fishing”, I did in fact “go fishing!” My wife and I took a two week fishing vacation to Northern Minnesota where we met up with some close relatives at the Tamarack Lodge resort on Lake Winnibigoshish, a well known walleye location and about the 4th or 5th largest lake in the state not including Lake of the Woods. In spite of some rather intense wave action we had a very enjoyable time and consumed large quantities of the best fresh water fish in North America. At least that’s our opinion. We also caught a number of only sightly less desierable species like Northern Pike and Crappie, both of which are a blast to catch. And just to show that we actually caught fish, here are a couple photos!!

[pic] [pic]

Open water fishing season for this year is rapidly coming to a close as the first signs of winter are starting to become apparent. Here in the Metroplex there are probably still a few more weeks before only the hardiest of the local fishing affectionados will be found drowning worms and loosing lures trying to catch one more “big one” before the freeze-up. From the looks of the following news clips, 2009 will probably see more impacts to our favorite sport as the CDW, the Water Board, etc. attempt to influence the continued spread of the Quagga and Zebra Mussel invasion.

Invasive Mussel Larvae Found In Four Colorado Reservoirs

Credit:

Colorado Division of Wildlife press release

A Federal and State initiative to gather more information on the presence of aquatic invasive species in Colorado confirmed the presence of invasive mussel larvae in Grand Lake, Shadow Mountain and Willow Creek Reservoirs in Grand County. These waters are physically connected to Lake Granby. Quagga mussel larvae were discovered in Lake Granby earlier this summer.

Results from an independent laboratory confirm that both zebra and quagga mussels are present in Grand Lake, while only quagga mussels have been found at Willow Creek, Shadow Mountain and Lake Granby.

The Colorado Division of Wildlife (DOW), Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District are cooperating with local partners on the development of an appropriate plan for each of the Colorado-Big Thompson (CBT) reservoirs.

Quaggas Found in Jumbo and Tarryall

A State initiative to gather more information on the presence of aquatic invasive species in Colorado confirmed the presence of quagga mussel larvae in Jumbo Reservoir in Logan County, and Tarryall Reservoir in Park County.

Jumbo Reservoir Boating Restrictions:

Under existing regulations, recreational boating on Jumbo Reservoir is prohibited October 1st through the last day of regular goose season on February 15th. Shoreline waterfowl hunters may use hand-propelled craft to set and pick up decoys, and to retrieve downed waterfowl. Waterfowl hunting from motorized vessels is allowed by reservation only and only hunters with reservations are exempt from the October 1 boat closure. Reservations may be made by calling 1-800-846-9453.

Tarryall Reservoir Restrictions and Inspection Procedures:

Trailered boats are allowed on the lake from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday through Monday. No night boating is allowed. Before launching, trailered boats must be inspected at the north ramp off Park County Road 77. Hand-launched craft such as float tubes, canoes and non-motorized rowboats are permitted at all times.

Antero, Tarryall and Williams Fork to close to trailered boat use

10/17/2008

The Colorado Division of Wildlife (DOW) and Denver Water will close Williams Fork Reservoir on October 31st, and Antero Reservoir on November 26th to trailered boats for the remainder of the 2008 season. The DOW will close Tarryall Reservoir to trailered boat use on October 31, 2008. Hand-launched vessels can continue to use all waters.

Ice-on at these reservoirs is anticipated to begin in late October through November. The reservoirs will re-open to boating again next spring.
