1 The Sportsman Published by the Tacoma Sportsmen s Club VOLUME 830 JUNE 2017 ISSUE 6 President s Report This year marks the 68 th annual Fishing Derby put on by The Tacoma Sportsmen s Club. Mark Bussey and his group of volunteers have been working hard to make this event special again this year. Thousands of kids have enjoyed the derby throughout the years. Many youngsters catch their first fish with the help of TSC volunteers. Come out this Saturday and enjoy the efforts of our Sportsmen. The Piel range upgrade is moving along. The weather is dictating our pace as the rain continues. There is still a lot of work to be completed but we will continue to move forward. The Iron Amos archery shoot is another long running event that will be held June 3rd and 4th. Come out and enjoy a fun course and good people. I am sure the archery committee could use some set up help. If you have some extra time and would like to volunteer with set up contact David Todd or the office staff. Once again please check the calendar for special events that may close a range you want to use on the weekends. Your club is a busy place and members can always fall back on the public ranges.

4 Hello Members, Thank you, Jim Williams for the May program. For all that were not at the May General Membership meeting Jim presented a program on The Friends of the NRA which we at TSC support. Jim explained why it is a good program and how it works, as well as how the money and grants are issued. Grants are applied for and the committee reviews them then decides who qualifies that year. TSC has been given a grant this year which will help rebuild the Piel Range. In the past, we have gotten grants for archery targets, trap and skeet machines and sporting clay machines to name a few. The purpose of the Friends is to support shooting programs and range improvements throughout the United States and the money raised in Washington for the most part stays in the state. Those that benefit are ranges, boy scouts, FFA, and local school programs to name a few. Once again thank you Jim, it was a good presentation. Next month is by Donn Moyer with a program on Hunter Education so don't miss it.
