REMINDER TO ALL MEMBERS

Lockheed Martin's Workplace Security policy, CPS-565 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) or Dave Mulholland (303-977-3674) for access instructions.

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

CLUB NEWS

President’s Corner

(Range Status)

As you all know we are still working with LM to arrive at a final solution for re-opening our firing ranges… The SHFC Board of Directors (BOD) will be meeting again with LM during the March time frame to discuss these final issues,… We really appreciate the membership's patience over the last months, and reassure you that the SHFC BOD is working this situation as timely as possible, and will keep all members informed as to our status…

Membership Info

Membership dues have not been formally collected as of 21MAR11 – see below for more info

• 2011

o Since the range has been closed by Lockheed Martin since October, the BOD voted to make a one-time adjustment in club dues for existing club members.  Dues for 2011 will be $36 minus any workbond (up to 4 hours at $9/hr).

o If you DID your workbond (and there are still opportunities to get 2010 workbond in), you will pay $0 for 2011.

• 2012 and ON (dependent on upcoming By-Law revision approval)

o Workbond hours increased to 8 hrs per year (was 4 hrs per year).

▪ The increase in hours is needed to accomplish all of the items now required to keep the range open.

o Workbond value increased to $15/hr (was $9/hr)

o If you choose to NOT perform any workbond your dues will be $156/year

o However, if you DO your workbond (8 hrs/year) you will continue to pay just $36/year

▪ For current members,  if you do your 8 hours of workbond during the 2011 fiscal year, the $120 workbond cost never comes out of your pocket!

winter Season road conditions

At this time the range is open to all archery activities, so during our entire winter season please drive with extra care during the slippery winter road season. Four wheel drive is recommended. Winter weather may cause some parts of our roads to be impassable at times. LM is responsible for road maintenance and snow removal and has indicated that every effort will be made by their subcontractor to maintain the road. If the Road Closed sign is displayed at the front gate, do not attempt to access the range. Even without the sign, you are responsible to judge the road conditions for yourself. If you get stuck or have an accident, call Plant Protection at 303-977-4646. Also dial 911 for medical emergency.

Committee News

WORK BOND INFORMATION

Additional work bond items are being identified as part of the range reopening activities. Current work bond jobs can be found 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 Work Bond Chair, Norm Viste at normviste@ or 303-980-7131. Work Bond that you volunteered for with a specific committee should still be coordinated through that committee chair who will coordinate with Norm. Thank you for your help and participation.

RECENT WORK PARTIES

Over the last few weeks a number of work parties have been held at the range to get things in tip top shape for the upcoming reopening. Activities have included everything from vegetation removal (fire mitigation) to carpentry and painting. The BOD would like to thank everyone who has come out and put in a lot of hard work. Not only are we meeting the necessary requirements but we are also doing some much needed maintenance. Wait till you see a fully color coordinated range! In particular, Tom Moore deserves an extra special thank you for heading up the work parties and his never ending list of things that are “DONE”. If you want to find Tom – look at the range – he is likely there working more items off the list just about every day of the week. Thanks Tom for your extraordinary dedication to the club!

* 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.

Winter 3-gun

ON HOLD. Start time is normally 9:00 am with setup starting at 8:15 am. For those new to 3-gun or multi-gun, we shoot pistol, shotgun and semi-auto carbine/rifle for a combination of accuracy and speed usually including movement and target transitions. 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). Contact Dave Mulholland at 303-977-3674 or email david.b.mulholland@ to get advance information and get on the mailing list.

Practical Pistol Ladies Only

We will be starting Ladies Only group activities on April 18 (pending approval from Lockheed Martin to reopen). Meet at the entrance gate just off Wadsworth by about 4:30pm, then we will caravan up. Remember to bring your “semi-automatic” pistol, holster and 3 magazines, about 100 rounds, your eye and ear protection, pants, layered clothing (never sure about the weather until mid June), hat, flat soled shoes (no heels or wedgies), minimal jewelry (leave bracelets and other hanging bling in the car). Any guests will have a new liability form to sign. This should be a great year and we want to get an early start on it. Call Tom Frickell (720-202-6502 cell).

Practical Pistol – Lite

Practical Pistol Lite is starting back up on April 25th (pending approval from Lockheed Martin to reopen), 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. Carbine and shotgun nights will be less frequent this year to concentrate on pistol shooting and to allow everyone to get in more shooting. 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 303-204-6735 (cell) or Tom Frickell at 303-971-5493, or email at david.w.norris.jr@.

When the range reopens we will continue the Tuesday night event. The event is more closely aligned with USPSA style competition. It will continue to be a “By Invitation Only Event” and participation excludes you from Monday and Wednesday night events in most cases. Contact: Brian Sompayrac (brian.w.sompayrac@)

Skeet Shooting

When the range is opened we will start skeet shooting on the immediate following Tuesday evening with a start time of 4:00 P.M. Please contact Tom Moore at 303-978-9432 of there is a question about the weather. We will also have Skeet Shooting on the off Fridays starting at 10:00 A.M.

The club has three AR15s, a Garand, two shooting mats, and two spotting scopes, and one stand which are available to use during matches.

The High Power Matches, including the Vintage Matches are pending, and will be scheduled as soon as our range status is changed to “Open”. A special announcement

.22 RIMFIRE SPORTER MATCH

ON HOLD. 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.

SHFC FFL

The FFL documentation has been received by the club and we will soon be back in business. There are still some tasks to complete but we should be operational by the first part of April. Look for more info in the April newsletter and via e-mail notification.

SHFC REFERENCE LIBRARY

Do you have ideas and suggestions for tools, books, widgets, manuals, gadgets, and equipment that would be of interest to club members? Items that are fragile in nature have been rejected by the Board in the past, so a bore scope is out (also too expensive). Please email Vito @ medeangelis78@

(In the future the link to the updated list on the website will be published here)

Alternative Shooting Location

(Cherry Creek Shooting Facility)

Doug Hamilton, former LM employee who now runs the Cherry Creek Shooting facility is offering a $12 discount off the normal shooting price to Skyline members who are without a Range at this moment in time.

Take your SHFC badge to Doug for your discount. Unfortunately, it doesn’t cover the park entrance fee, but it’s a great discount

I am also offering trap rounds at $5 (normal price is $7)… I will do sporting clays at the same rate of $5 (normal price $10) per round of 25 birds). Actually, it is not "$12 discount off the normal shooting price". The $12 is a discounted range fee for all day, for all the ranges that a range fee is paid (rifle, pistol, hand trap, archery and patterning board). $12 gets one shooter onto all of those ranges for all day. Regular range fee is $15.50. For the retirees, the range fee is only $7… We are officially the "Family Shooting Center @ Cherry Creek State Park".
