Target Frames

Last year we sent with the news letter a diagram for an easily made target frame. We asked that the membership make one of these for their own use. As the board members have been using the range this summer it has been brought to our attention that many of the members have not considered this a priority.

The Club and Board are not able to provide all members with the correct height frame. On occasion we do place a few new target frames at the bench rest house. I can assure you that these do not have mechanical legs, but the target frames for some reason disappear and do it quite quickly.

We are again this year and will in subsequent years place the diagram of this easily built frame in the news letter on the following page. It is inexpensive and does not have to be fancy. The main thing is the height. The bullet impact in the proper point is important to the safety of our range. At 50 and 100 yard ranges, if you shoot at lower targets, your bullets will strike the face of the 200 yard berm and ricochet over the hill. This was why we built the range the way we did in the first place.

Also if you set your rifle level on the bench, the point of impact will automatically go to zero at 50 and 100 yards with proper sight settings.

Failure to abide by this rule can jeopardize your membership. One ricochet could potentially close our range. Please help your club be a safe club.
