NCPS Work Party - Saturday, November 3, 2012
Posted: October 5, 2012
On Saturday November 3rd starting at 9
AM we will be having a work party to assemble 200 new target stands for
the Action Pistol Range. SVSC has provided all the material for
the new stands. SDPS and CAPSL have been asked to have their
members come also as all the clubs use the target stands. The
stands are made from 2X4s that will be precut and painted so all we will
have to do is screw them together. This is a much needed
improvement as everyone knows. If we can get 50 members from all
the clubs that will mean each person will only have to put together 4
stands each and we will be done in no time.
I look forward to seeing everyone there as this is
very important. We are at the point of not having enough target
stands to hold a match and if we want to shoot we must have stands
