VOLUNTEER – As always, we can still use help at our regular shooting activities. Please volunteer so that we can keep all of our activities going at Black Ash.
CHANGE AT THE RIFLE RANGE If you have been at the range within the last few weeks, you saw that we removed the old burn barrel and replaced it with trash cans (the same as we have at the pistol range). One can is marked for paper and plastic as well as other burnable material. The other is to be used for any metal items (cans, non-reloadable cartridge cases, etc). We are asking that NO GLASS ITEMS BE BROUGHT ONTO THE CLUB GROUNDS AT ANY TIME. If you do bring glass, please take it home with you. We hop this change will help keep things a little neater at the ranges.
If see anything we missed or if you have any ideas for the Web site please drop us an email. web@blackashsportsman.org
