Letort Lawman estimated that we will need approximately 15 people to perform all these tasks. Buckle Bob would like to extend the roof over the shooting table on Bay one. He has the materials to do it. We will work on it on the work days. Buckle Bob also recommended drilling holes in the floor of the fort to drain water that stands on the floor. 4. Range Improvements a. Fix road up the hill Regrading the road will not help.

Knockdown shotgun targets Letort Lawman and Tuscarora Slim will build more shotgun knockdown targets. They will use existing plates from the swingers. Currently, they cannot get to the range to get the plates or get to the steel which is frozen in the snow. The following were also discussed. Buckle Bob will cut dead tree on the berm between bays 4 and 5. He will only need a couple of hands when he does this. He would like to do it before the first work day. He will contact a couple of cowboys to help when the time comes. The teeter-totter will be moved from the right side of bay 2 to the center. This will eliminate the extreme angle when shooting at it. The members present approved replanting the Smoke Tree in memory of Cactus Charlie. The first one died. They also approved planting two more trees, one in memory of Waterloo Blue and one in memory of Morgan James (suggested white birch for Morgan). L ocation will be determined. 5.
