4 North Bristol Sportsman s Club 4 Member e News VOLUNTEERING AT NBSC: Other events coming up at NBSC and again we will need volunteers is as follows: November 27, 2016 NBSC Quad County Shoot-Trap (50 Bird) Carl and Gelane Firme Friday Nights at the Club Don t miss your chance to join us for the Friday Night Fish Fry at the Club. At the recent Monthly Meeting, the Board made the decision that due to increased costs, lower than needed attendance, and competition from the big city eating places, the Fish Fry as we know it can no longer survive. So stop out before the end of the year and give the Fish Fry a proper send off. Visit with the regulars, staff and all the other folks that have made it a great place to hang out. Our hope is to take a Cold Winter Break from every Friday Night and then recreate the Friday Event to Monthly Special nights, Afternoon Shooting and be open for shooting, Social interaction, and lighter Fare food, like burgers, fish baskets, sandwiches and maybe some specials each week or month. A huge shout out and Thank You to all of our Loyal Customers, Staff, volunteers and Board Members for supporting the Fish Fry and the Quality time at the Gun Club for all these years. Hopefully, we can change it up a bit, and create something that appeals to our core members, it would be fantastic to get to be the place where Members and Friends chose to come and hang out. See you on Fridays??!!!!!??

6 North Bristol Sportsman s Club 6 NSSF Rimfire Challenge September 11th, 2016 On September 11th, NBSC hosted our 4 NSSF Rimfire Challenge. We had 61 shooters from 6 states. The weather was great for our shoot, better than could be said for Columbus Sportsman s Association that has their match the day before our s. Again, we had some great shooters from all the states. We had one couple that traveled from Eastern Pennsylvania. They did have relatives in Milwaukee, so it was a combined vacation of shooting and visiting. A complete slide show can be viewed on our website at: Or follow along: shootatnbsc.com/shooting sports/pistol range For a complete listing of scores, go to: practiscore.com, click match scores on right, search NBSC select first set of scores. The majority of our shooters come from out of state for the registered match. Our club members are missing out on a lot of fun during the summer sessions and a great prize table. Prizes are give out on a random drawing of all shooters that shoot both pistol and rifle. This year we had a custom 10/22 donated by Essential Shooting Supplies and Kevin McDaniel. Again this year we had a really great prize table.

8 North Bristol Sportsman s Club 8 Policy for Unescorted Youth on the 50 Meter Range Approved by the NBSC Board on March 17, 2009 Youth under 16 years of age may not be on the 50 meter range unescorted. A parent or other adult Club Member must be present at all times. Youth 16 years of age to under 18 years of age may use the 50 Meter range unescorted, provided they possess their own membership card under a current NBSC Family Membership. The youth must have attended a 50 meter Range Safety and Orientation Session with a parent or legal guardian. Unescorted youth range use is restricted to BB or pellet rifles; rimfire rifles; muzzle loading rifles; and shotguns for patterning and sight-in only no handguns. At 18 years of age, all persons must apply for their own NBSC membership. Announcement The Board of Directors Recently completed a number of meetings to discuss and finalize costs and Pricing for Some of the changes approved at these meetings, include 5 Stand operation and pricing, increase in non member Trap Fees, Raising the Range Maintenance Fee (RMF) for the single projectile ranges to $ and some changes to membership fees for partial year dues, and Life Membership requirements. We also eliminated gratis memberships to active Board members. Some of the factors that guided these policies include, reduced Fund Raising income from Raffle sales and Fall Shoot, increased Maintenance requirements for the Rifle and Pistol Range, fewer volunteers participating in work days and projects, increasing outside vendor expenses annually. And just plain higher prices on everything we need. We continue to try to control costs and needs to offer members and exceptional value to become and participate in activities at the club. The decisions were not arrived at randomly, but we hope struck a balance with everything considered to best serve the members and the interest and survival of the club. Feel free to discuss any concerns with the board members, or better yet, come on out to the Monthly meetings and help guide the clubs decisions.

10 North Bristol Sportsman s Club 10 Range News Pistol Range Orientations Any Member that has not maintained continuous Membership or the continuous payment of the Range Maintenance Fee (RMF) must re-take the Orientation when reactivating same to continue with the use of the Pistol Range. The Member when returning, will be considered a new member and not a renewing member. The reason for this, is that over time the Orientation has changed and been updated. Pistol Range Newsletter November 2016 The member volunteers that take care of the Range Maintenance and Orientation hope that the Pistol Range meets your needs? If you come across any issues or comments, please Dick Malsch (dickmalsch1@ gmail.com). We would like to review a few items. The Range is open from 9:00 am to dusk daily (for those that are current in their Range Maintenance Fee (RMF) and have completed the Orientation), unless the range is closed for special events or leased out. Always check the newsletter and our website. When using the Range, please close the gates behind you unless the Rifle Range is open. The last member out should close and lock the gate, again unless the Rifle Range is open. Please do not leave the Range open just because the Club is open. When you sign in, remember it is one name per line for each visitor to the range. We use the information on the sign-in sheets for a contract with the DNR. If you have a gun for protection, remember: practice, practice, practice. Reasons for practice is to hit what you aim at and know where the safety is, in case you need your gun in a hurry Interested in becoming a Range Safety Officer? We have an ongoing need for RSOs on the rifle range and, soon, the pistol range. NRA certification requires a one day class and, for NBSC, an RSO specific range orientation. If you re interested, contact Dan Kittel at (608) , dankittel8711@gmail.com for more information, or Kevyn Quamme at kevyn@advbldgcorp.com We are planning to open the pistol range more often, with RSO oversight, from April to November. Watch for the dates. This will provide access for a fee to non-members.

16 North Bristol Sportsman s Club 16 R3 R a n d o m R a n g e R a n t s October is over!!! The club has been busy, nice weather and so lots of shooters on the weekends. The Saturday Rifle and Pistol Range hours are suspended until the spring. Ranges are still open by appointment, and on Thursdays and Sundays, weather permitting. Watch for shooting events, leagues, Jackpot shoots and other excuses to dust off the old shootin irons. Holidays are coming up, so watch the club calendar for conflicts in opening and closing, and get out to the club for a break from all the Holiday and Hunting hoopla. Deer season is upon us, and we have a couple of the Hunters Site in s already under our belt. RSO s help if you can. Do what you can either at the club or outside of it, to help get a new shooter or hunter on the right path. Safety and Knowledge go together to help for a Safe, Successful and Fun Hunting experience. Help mentor a new or youth hunter. Get out and practice and bring a rookie along with you. Make sure you get your time in the outdoors too. Elections for Officers happens at the December Club meeting. Smelt fries are scheduled for this year. Our Fearless Smelt CZAR has relinquished his position, so we all need to step up, get organized and continue the Fantastic Smelt Feed tradition the club created. Thanks to Dave Biegel for all the years he took the Helm of the Smelt fry and got the Smelt Team to pull off the event each time. The Fall Raffle is complete, a big thank you to the Donors that support our Club, and to the members and friends that purchase the tickets. Watch for the results at the club and in the newsletter. Thanks to Jack Reiss, and many others who work hard to get the tickets out there. A reminder that Friday Night Fish Fries, as we know it, will be discontinued. We plan to have the club open on Friday Nights for shooting, cocktails after and our Burgers and stuff on Friday nights. We plan to have a fish basket available too. So, we can still stop out on Fridays for Food, a Beverage and Socializing. Maybe shoot too. The plan is to get a few folks out to the club and add some specials for food and some activities to participate in. (Raffles, games and shooting) to name a few. Remember to support your club, so we have a place to enjoy our sport.
