Parking Lot Resurfacing
The Soaring Eagle Range will be closed while the parking lot is resurfaced. We were informed that this will be done between
Friday, August 23 and Friday, August 30th.
There will be no competitive shoots at Soaring Eagle Monday-Tuesday August 26-27th. You can make these up at a future date or go to the Rio Grande Range on Thursday and/or Friday for competitive shoots.
Will You Shoot an Informational Video?
Do you have a digital video recorder? We are looking for someone to "SHOOT" an informational video that will be posted on the New Members page of the club's website. Tim and Bonnie are directing and need help with regards to a cameraman.
If you can help, Please contact Tim 352-603-5221. THANK YOU!

COME ONE, COME ALL!
The VAGC Special Events Committee would like to extend an invitation to all VAGC club members and their guests to attend the Go Kart races at the Original Speedway Park on Saturday, August 31st. We will be tailgating on the South side of the property near the tree line (plenty of shade) and the races start at 3pm. Entry fee is $5 per person, or if you want unlimited access to the pit area the pit pass is $5 more. This is Florida's oldest 1/8 mile clay track and hosts up to 18 different classes (based on equipment and age).
Please bring your own chairs, coolers, beverages and food. Tim Langwald is bringing his grill and has offered to do the cooking for your convenience.
The track is located at 35400 Micro Racetrack Rd in Fruitland Park. Please join us in experiencing something new at this social event, and of course we can talk about shooting too!

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.
