FOREST ARCHERS CLUB RULES
Forest Archers membership now
at $125 per household membership. This entitles all shooters in the household to
use the facilities at any time during an actual year of membership, which will
be from time of purchase to 1 year afterward.
Special events excluded
For safety reasons, a sign in sheet will be permanently located
at the facility please sign everyone in. Keys will be issued to all
households upon payment of club dues, with a $25 charge for lost keys.
All household memberships include either spouse or any children under 18 (at membership)when accompanied by a parent.
All members
must attend at least 2 scheduled workdays for range preparation and
improvements.
The range will be set up with 10 good 3d targets at all times, any target with un-scoreable sections will be replaced upon notification to any club officer at the next most opportune time. These targets are for 3d practice so shoot the course like it was designed. You may shoot the course as many times as you like but do not shoot at the same target repeatedly. Repeated shooting at targets on the 3d range will not be tolerated. If you feel the need to shoot repeatedly then use the practice bags, which is what they are designed for.
The Course will be set up on C range so people using the Bags will be able to shoot while 3d shooters are shooting with no safety issues. Stakes colored as in the asa or the circuit will be placed and movable by any member that so wishes to move the stakes staying within the guide lines of either the ASA or IBO or the Circuit.
Summer evening
shoots
During the
time change in April we will still have our Wednesday night shoots starting at 6
pm but this year it we will no longer charge $5 for shooting. There will no
longer be any shooter of the month or shooter of the year plaques scores are for
personal goals only. Once the evening shoots begin we will put out 10 more
targets and stakes on either range for a total of 20. Only targets on C range
may be shot during the year except for organized shoots for the safety issue of the
bag targets are facing toward A range. A sign will be in place to remind all
shooters of this issue.
Any guest wishing to shoot at the club will be able to attend one Wednesday night shoot and not be charged either but if they plan to attend any other shoots they must purchase a membership or pay a fee of $10.00 per session on Wednesday Night
Special events such as monthly shoots are open to the public and to club members for a charge of $15 to $25 depending on if you plan on shooting for the money or for just recreation
