Villages Outdoor Expo
Attention Members; The annual Villages Outdoor Expo is scheduled for February 23rd & 24th, Saturday's hours are 9am till 3pm, Sunday's hours are 10am till 3pm. The club is in need of volunteers to man the booth at La Hacienda Rec Center along with people to assist guest shooters at the Rio Grande Range. The club will be giving away Daisy 853 air rifles to the highest scoring male and the highest scoring female (only non members, or new members that signed up at the booth, are eligible to win the rifles!). This give a way will surely garner a lot of attention to the booth and the range during the Expo, so help is needed.
Please contact Harold Stone to schedule some time you can donate to help the club either at the booth or at the range. If you only have a couple hours, that would still be a help as long as we can get it scheduled prior. Food and beverages will be provided for the volunteers.
Harold can be contacted via email at hesptg@comcast.net or by phone 732-673-0514

Are you tired of trying to come up with exact change at the range for Match Fees??
Treasurer, Craig Manion, is excited to announce the ability to accept prepayments for the season's match fees!
Effective with the June 26, 2018 meeting, club members elected to change match fees to $2.00 per match (20 shots) regardless of what discipline or gun is used.
After a combined total of 40 matches paid, additional matches will be at no cost to the member.
If you wish to prepay for the 40 match season fees ($80 a season) please deduct match fees paid in this season(which started July 5th, 2018)
and submit a check for the balance of the season
(Example:6 matches to date 6 X $2 = $12, Season total $80 - $12 for matches already paid for = $68).
Prepayments are Non Refundable.

Competitive Events Reminder
At the Club meeting January 10, 2017 a motion was made, seconded and voted in by a majority of members present. Specifically that offhand or bench rest shooting could be done on the same day at the same time at either Soaring Eagle or Rio Grande ranges. A bench rest shooter & an offhand shooter may shoot side by side. Officially approved by your Villages Air Gun Club members.
Courtesy of Competitors
After you have completed your event(s) please clear from your lane ASAP so others can set-up & compete. You may only shoot rifle or only pistol, you have completed your competition, you want to talk to other members about whatever.
This is a social club, we understand. Again please clear your gear & step a little ways outside the competition area to cut down on distractions. Be it known that we have hearing challenges also, but not everyone does. Your WHISPERS may be louder than you think.
If you are sensitive to distractions, you might consider side vision blinders for your shooting glasses and ear plugs or other hearing cancellation devices.
