This Tuesday is
our first club meeting of 2012! We sure hope
to see you there, remember the new start
time is 6:30 in the Gander Mountain meeting
room. We will have the 2012 TGC member book
available to pick up at that time. Lots to
do, lets get off to a great start in the new
year!
You are reading
this because you are a member of the
Texarkana Gun Club and you realize how
important the continued support of the
Second Amendment is to this nation and
future generations. The Four States Friends
of NRA are looking for committee volunteers
and a Chair/co-Chairperson(s) to lead
committee members to make the 2012 Banquet a
success. Many of you have attended this
event and know that it is organized, well
run and productive for our area. There are
only a few steps to complete this banquet -
all the historic advertising, promotion,
catering, location are in place and most of
the sponsors continue participation each
year. All that remains are the few details
to finalize the event. If you have assisted
in any fund raising banquet, you know that
the larger the committee, the easier the
event.
Curt Green and
James Herrington have lead this event for
the past several years and they will provide
all information and guidance to a new
Chairperson to continue this event's
success.
The Caddo
Council Boy Scouts, the Bowie County 4-H
Shooting team, Texarkana, AR Police Dept.
and the Texarkana AR shooting team have all
benefited from the success of this banquet
in the past several years.
The committee
meeting will be held tomorrow night,
Tuesday, January 17th at 6 PM. The
meeting is held in the board room of the C2C
Business Center at 28 Morris Lane. Directly
behind the Sanctuary Medical Spa and Dr.
Kimberly Parham Dermatologist.
If you can not
attend the meeting, but would like to
volunteer your time, talent, efforts, please
contact James Herrington at: jherrington@c2cres.com

Happy New Year!
Hope
everyone had a great Christmas and New Year
celebration with family and friends, now
it's time to get your gun club fired up for
the 2012 shooting season!
It may seem like we've been hitting the
snooze button but believe me the work is
going on behind the scenes. Your 2012
Texarkana Gun Club book is at the printers
now and will be ready by our first 4th
Tuesday meeting on January 24th at Gander
Mountain. By the way, the new meeting time
is 6:30pm. Also much kudos to Jennifer
Futrell for once again putting together the
club book for 2012. She has done this for
many years now and certainly deserves a pat
on the back for all her hard work. Thanks
Jennifer!

The Steel Is Here!
Brad Tucker and Kevin DuPree are picking it
up Wednesday morning and are planning on
having out at the Gun Club around 9:30am.
They sure could use some help unloading it
into the building if you're available.
Please let brad or Kevin know if you can
help out.
(We're shooting steel in 2012!)

Texarkana Gun Club is an
NRA affiliated organization which provides a safe, well maintained
facility for members and guests to enjoy the shooting sports. The club
offers a groomed 200 yard rifle range with covered and concrete bench
rest positions and six pistol bays with a variety of target stands,
steel plates and barricades. We also have lighted bathrooms with
running water. The rifle shack has ceiling fans and electrical
outlets available.
Located in the Piney Woods of Texas, the range has several tree shaded
areas, a picnic pavilion and restroom facilities. Each of the shooting
areas is equipped with a covered area for the comfort of members and
guests during hot or inclement weather. Texarkana Gun Club is a private
club and invites all who are interested in learning and participating in
the shooting sports either individually or in any of our organized
matches.
Texarkana Gun Club is used extensively by local, county, state and
federal law enforcement agencies for training and qualifying their
officers. The club offers the facility at no charge to these agencies
and invites them to reserve the range for their use. Other organizations
utilizing the facility on a charitable basis is the Bowie County 4-H
Shooting Team, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and other groups with a desire to
learn firearm safety and participate in the shooting sports.
