With Holidays this year falling either very close to event days or on an event day, some changes were necessary.  The December monthly meeting is cancelled.

Because the December meeting is cancelled, we will be waiving the $10 late fee for renewals until February 1, 2025.  There is still plenty of time to renew your club membership for 2025.

So the next monthly meeting will be Wednesday, January  29, 2025 at 7:30 PM.

The Thursday Trap Shoots for December 26, 2024 and January 2, 2025 have been cancelled.

The Thursday Trap Shoot on December 19, 2024 at 7:00 PM will feature a Holiday Meal provided by our excellent kitchen help that is sure to please.

​

As a cost cutting measure, we have eliminated the clubhouse telephone.  It was no longer used with almost everyone using cell phones.  There is a phone number posted at the gate for gate issues.  Please DO NOT use this number for general everyday questions.  Please use the Contact Form found on the

Contact Page for general questions. 

​

We started membership renewals on October 1, 2024.  Current members, please remember that renewal information will be arriving via E-Mail with a link to the renewal form.  Blank forms will also be posted at the Rifle and Pistol ranges starting October 1, 2024.

If the blank renewal form holder at either range is empty, please check the opposite range for blank renewal forms.  You can always use the Contact form on the Contact web page to request a renewal form.  Because the December meeting is cancelled, we will be waiving the $10 late fee for renewals until February 1, 2025.  There is still plenty of time to renew your club membership for 2025.

Entrance Gate:

Spring, summer, and even winter storms can disrupt electricity at the gate and the club in general.

The gate is on a different line from West Penn Power than the rest of the club.  Please listen for beeps and LED indication when you enter your gate number to let you know that the gate has electricity.

Please do not try to fix it yourself if you think that there is a problem with the gate.  There is a phone number posted at the gate to use for gate emergencies.

​And please remember to WAIT until the gate closes completely after entering and leaving through the gate.

 

Please remember to refresh your browser so that updates to the website will appear.

Check your E-Mail spam folder because sometimes E-Mails from the club will mistakenly be sent there.

​

​​​​​​Grass Cutting:

All of the grass cutting is NOW scheduled to be done every Thursday during the summer months weather permitting from 8:00 AM until 3:00 PM.  This means that the ranges will be closed during this time.  If rain is predicted for a Thursday the grass cutting may take place on Friday.  Members who want to help cut the grass ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!  The quicker that it it gets done the quicker that the ranges open back up.
 

Range Sign In Sheets:

It has come to our attention that some members are not using the Sign in Sheets at the ranges.  Failure to do so will result in members being banned from the club.

​

Membership to the NRA:

It has come to our attention that some club members are NOT renewing their membership to the NRA.  If your membership to the NRA has expired or is due to expire, you will be receiving an email from us reminding you to rejoin.

You can renew or join online by following this link.

From the EMSC application for membership:

"YOU MUST BE A MEMBER OF THE NRA TO JOIN EMSC AND CONTINUE TO BE A MEMBER OF THE NRA TO REMAIN IN GOOD STANDING AS A MEMBER OF EMSC."

​

Ranges:

On the Pistol Range, please try to shoot into the Gravel Bunkers instead of hitting the grass.  The Gravel Bunkers to the right of Rifle Range are to be reserved for the NRA Silhouette Shoots that take place every third Saturday during the summer months.

The Gravel Road going out to the rifle targets was made possible in part via a Grant that the club received from the NRA.  When looking at the sliding pictures above, the newest pictures appear first followed by the older ones.  You can see what the ranges looked like before and after all of the recent improvements.
