Range 5 at 9:00 am on Sunday March 23^rd

The 600 Yard Benchrest folks will be holding a benchrest clinic on March 23^rd, we hope you will join us.  Topics of the clinic will include:

• Review of the different classes of rifles we shoot in competition: traditional benchrest, tactical, factory, and gas operated.  And a brief review of specific rules for each rifle class.
• Demonstration of how the match is shot (bring hearing protection).
• Reloading techniques for benchrest level accuracy.
• Suggestions on how to tune your loads for best accuracy.

New for this year we are adding a gas operated rifle class.  The permitted rifles are AR-15’s and AR-10’s.  With a good barrel and tuned reloads these rifles are capable of incredible accuracy—1/2 to 1 MOA accuracy should be expected.  Note that our first match this year will be on May 25^th.  If you think you might want to participate in this match, please bring your AR and some ammo to the Clinic.  The intention of the clinic is to help our AR shooters get a good 600 yard zero, and to demonstrate a level of accuracy that you will be able to get all your shots on your own 24”x24” target.

If you plan to shoot your AR, bring your rifle, ammo, a front rest, a sandbag rear rest, chamber flag, and hearing and eye protection.  We will have spotting scopes at the range.

The basic rules on AR configuration are: 5.56 or 7.62 caliber, any scope, any safe trigger, and rifle weight 27 pounds maximum.  Any stock configuration is allowed, but we suggest the use of an A2 butt stock because it will ride the rear sandbag better.

We hope to see you at the range!

There will be an archery open house for members on March 23 from 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm

There is a typographical error in the Notice of Bond Issue. The address for Mr. Williamson is P.O. Box 294 not P.O. Box 394 as seen in the issuance notice.

When you take out a mortgage, a lending agent provides funds to you and  you agree to repay those funds at a constant rate of payment over the term of the loan.  You are charged an interest rate for the use of the funds.  Your payment is the same each payment period but consist of varying amounts of principle and interest paid.  At the end of the loan, all interest and principle has been repaid to the lending agent.

The private mortgage bonds work the same way, but from the club members perspective in the reverse direction. A group of members provide funds in various amounts of not less than $10,000 for a term of 10 years.  The interest on the money is 5.5% compounded semi-annually.  All the club members that provide funds become the lending agents to the club.  The club will pay a constant amount on a semi-annual schedule for 10 years to repay the lending agents.  Each payment made to the lending agents will have a portion of the principle and interest, just like a standard mortgage.  At the end of the 10  year period (20 payments total), the club will have paid back all the principle and the interest on the amount borrowed.

Because this is a private mortgage bond, the opportunity to invest is limited to club members and their immediate family.  This bond issue is not open to the general public.

An illustration of the repayment schedule and split between principle and interest for each payment is attached.  This is only and illustration and should not be considered an official representation.
