EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING
Thursday, August 18th at 6:30 PM in the TCGC Range Stat House, 450 Jerry Black Lane, Goldsby, OK
1
Your Executive Committee is working hard to help
improve the range and manage the budget. The
goal, more people enjoying the use of the range!
Lets Go Shooting!!!!
PRESIDENTS CORNER
The vote on the bylaw changes will be in two
weeks, if you need something clarified, send an
email to us and we will get it answered.
Please feel free to let talk to the Member-At-Large if
you have any questions. (or any of the officers).
There will also be two other items to vote on to add
to this years budget and complete this year, #1. concrete pad for a relocated archery area. #2. on the
entry road coming into the range, Right side of road,
fill in ditch and put gravel on top, to be used for more
parking during events, new Archery parking, future
sporting clays area parking.
Currently I am working on several items.
1. Grant to improve/fix the handicap ramp to the
bathroom and add a parking spot.
2. Setting up appointment with NRA Range Advisor
to evaluate:
a. Master Plan for future range development.
b. Review where Sporting Clays and Archery
Range would be established.
c. Review the possibility and location of more
pistol bays to be used for pistol, rifle and possibly
ground target shotgun.
d. Review where an indoor facility could be located if we decide to build at a future time.
e. 10, 20, 30 year plan is what I am hoping for.
3. Supervising the online renewals. Will keep you
posted.
4. Getting Ready for Youth events and competitions.
TCGC is looking at putting up a block wall at the
immediate right of the short rifle and then using the
right side berm material to fill in the old archery area
that floods. FYI... when materials are removed from
an area in a flood way, as behind the long range, the
archery range, and the pond TCGC had for a while
when the bathroom was built up on the materials
from the hole that was made, the ground water will
fill up the hole depending on the actual level of the
ground water at that time. Any obstructions of drainage of surface water during rainy periods will slow
the drainage. TCGC has permission to remove
these obstructions, where are our volunteers?
The berm is approximately seventy feet wide at the
base and would give TCGC more area for another
range. Terrell Rifle and Pistol Club in Texas has
their range map on their web site, take a look at it
and you will see that they have other ranges downrange and have the impact berms angled to keep
things out of the line of fire.

SAFETY CORNER
Range Rule Reminders:
Greetings Tri City Gun Club Members
If you are going to have more than six guests,
please send me a note so we can review your
shooting activity and provide you the support as
needed.
Gongs on the Long Range can only be engaged
from Firing Point 6, 7, 8 and 9.
Only Club provided paper targets stapled to club
provided target frames are to be used on the
Short Range.
Do not place targets in front of the Gongs or Plate
Rack on the Pistol Range. Doing so results in
the wooden frames being shot up prematurely.
Safety Reminders
Summer Time Heat Safety: I am running this again
for August given our extremely hot weather. Summer is
here and the heat and humidity has been excessive.
Some things to remember:
Anyone can be a heat casualty, be sure and remain
well hydrated. You should start drinking water
before you come to the range and continue to
consume at least one bottle of water per hour
while you are on the range.
Know the symptoms of heat injuries i.e. Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke. Pay attention to
members of your shooting party as well as others on the range. If you see someone with the
symptoms of a heat injury take the appropriate
action. Heat Stroke is life threatening and is a
medical emergency.
There is a water cooler in the Stat House. The Stat
House is air conditioned. If you find yourself getting too hot go to the Stat House and cool off.
Remember the water on the range is not drinkable.
If you are shooting out in the open (shot gunners) be
sure and use the appropriate sunscreen to protect your skin.
Opportunities to Serve:
Boy Scout Camp and Shoot: October 14, 2016 Saturday, all day event. We need RSOs, and all
types of firearms instructors.
Norman Home School Shooting Event: Moved
to November 5th 2016, 8 AM to 1 PM, Saturday.
We need RSOs and 22 Rifle Instructors
Be safe and shoot straight, make sure your bullets impact the Berm.

Pursuit of Proficiency With Handguns
I made a trip to the Pistol Range on Saturday, July 9 and found both of the gongs on the right end of the range hanging at odd
angles due to having the wood supports shot to kingdom come. Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence. Usually, either the
small gong, or the large gong has a chain shot off, but this time, it was both, and the berm was littered with kindling.
This meant these targets were not available for me, and for several others who showed up at the pistol range that day. They
were not available until someone took more materials, purchased with our club dues, and the time to make repairs. This is an
expense that is incurred far too often on the pistol range. No matter how proficient one is with a handgun, from time to time, he
will flinch, or the trigger breaks an instant before he is ready. But for heaven’s sake, when you see splinters fly, stop, and adjust
your aim before continuing.
I have been shooting handguns for 41 years, and know that I still have a lot to learn. One thing I have learned is that emptying a
15-round magazine in three seconds does not make me a better shot, nor does it cause others at the range to admire my expertise. Experienced shooters think, “Daddy is still buying his ammunition.” Personally, I usually load five, whether shooting a fiveshot revolver or my 16+1 round 9mm. This has helped me to think about my shots, and try to make them count. When I practice
defensive shooting, I shoot double-taps, pausing between every other shot to adjust my aim.
I have also found, that even the least expensive handgun is really pretty accurate. Some may be pretty hard to shoot well because of size or trigger pull, but really will shoot well, if I do my part. (My hands are large, my Kel-Tec PF9 is tiny, brutal for me to
shoot, but will hit the target if I can hold it.)
Dry-firing is also a way to improve (it really will not hurt modern firearms.) Do it at the range. Get the sight picture right then
squeeze the trigger. Check the sight picture after the trigger breaks, see if you are pulling the gun off target with your trigger finger. Learning what we are doing wrong helps us improve.
Have fun, practice gun safety and remember, good shooting begins between our ears, not in our hands.
