8-24-10: 4th Tuesday Meeting - What You May Have Missed

President Helen Humber motions for immediate nominations for anyone wanting to run for three open seats and the presidency as well. Helen Humber wished to remain as President and therefore announced her candidacy. Bobby White was announced as a nominee for Vice President. Randy Pipes announced for Treasurer and Jim Standridge for Secretary. Since no one announced or was otherwise nominated for any of these positions, a motion was made to bundle the vote and seconded. The vote was held and by unanimous decision all four candidates were elected to the offices they announced for.

Old Business:

  1. The sidewalk down the middle of the rifle range has been completed to the 50 yard mark. The remaining 50 yards will be poured before the end of the week.

  2. The fence was restored where it was torn down.

  3. Double lock will remain on the main gate till 9/15, to get the new key you must pay your dues and turn in your old key.

New Business:

  1. A plaque is being made for distinguished service to the club and will be presented during the  September meeting.

  2. Odie is looking for a member that has a portable welding rig to do some much needed maintenance to the plate racks.

  3. A member brought up some dissatisfaction over the range being tied up too much on the weekends by matches and CCW classes. Suggestion was made to make a new sign that does note state the “Range Is Closed”... but rather states that “Training is in session”, and “please see the range master”. That should help with some of the problem.

New Members Voted In:

  • Kevin DuPree of Texarkana, TX

  • Billie Jean Heiden of Texarkana, TX

  • Justin C. Crump of Texarkana, TX

  • Jade Morgan of Texarkana, TX

  • Jose Acostavalle of New Boston, TX


New Applications will be voted on at the September meeting:

  • George Sheldon of Texarkana, TX

  • Doris Shelton of Texarkana, TX


8-16-10: Double Lock In Place

As always, the Gun Club Range will be double locked from Aug 15 to Sept 15.  You will be able to access the range with either a #6 key or a #2 key.  When you pay your 2010/2011 dues you will turn in the #6 key and receive a #2 key. For those not familiar with the concept of double locking - check the photo (right) for the proper configuration.  Historically someone will mess up the system.  When this happens please call Randy Pipes at 903-277-0553 or Richard Humber at 903-824-8221 and we will come out and fix it.

Thanks

Helen Humber
TGC President

Targets don't just happen,  they're manufactured, one at a time.  Richard Humber has dedicated a number of hours this week to resupply our rifle range with some fresh target stands. Enjoy them, but please try not to shoot the wood frame. Click on the pics above to see larger versions.

About Texarkana Gun Club

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.
