Mr. Reno brings up an issue that the things discussed in the BOD meeting do not happen.

Mr. Lancaster brings up a recommendation for a BOD to come up with a committee of three that will take the decisions the BOD makes and run with them.

Mr. Lancaster states we do need signs at every range because new members/visitors aren’t familiar with the ranges.

CPR/First Aid Training: BOD approved. Mr. Lancaster to organize classes this fall for RSO’s.

Match director’s notifying AMR: BOD approved for match directors to notify Cleary Fire Department

Trauma kits being available: Eleven trauma kits available. Motion made to spend up to $500 each for 2 trauma kit boxes and 2 storage containers to be mounted under the pavilion and in the breakroom. They do not want to take competition trauma kits. Mr. Sutterfield will ask Cleary Fire Department regarding AED.

Fish Eye mirrors: Not approved

Light/buzzer system for all rifle ranges: Not approved

Shotgun range: Shot gun range( range zero)

Install a light/buzzer that works when range 5 is activated that has a light and buzzer on the shotgun range to indicate they immediately stop shooting and make range cold.

Install a light system that can be activated from the shotgun range to indicate to range 5 that the shotgun range is in use.

Modify range 5 rules that when light is illuminated from shotgun range they must wait 2 minutes before going down range after light light buzzer has been activated.

Motion made to suggest these rules to the BOD.

Shotgun rules:

• Firing must be done from the concrete pad, one person/per pad
• Shotgun cannot be loaded until range is hot and shooter is on the pad
• No one may be forward of the firing line while range is hot, including anyone using a
  hand throwing device, or reloading target thrower device

  shotgun and range is placed in cold status. During cold status, shotgun must be in

  limited to 1350 ft/per second or less.
• Range will be closed by match director placing signage in driveway to shotgun range
  when a BOD sanctioned match is scheduled for Range 5.

• Before range is placed in hot status, shooter will activate light to inform range 5 it is
  in use.
