Also desserts (cookies, PIE, CAKE) are needed for our feast. Please contact Diana Ruffner so that she can plan and spread out the desserts into the three categories.

Special Work Party on October 9th - 2 work party credits. 8-12 with free lunch. Wear long pants, have gloves, bring weed wacker if possible. Numerous projects on list that require special attention. Please put on your calendar and plan to attend.
We have a number of new members with varying degrees of experience and safety training. If you see someone doing something unsafe, please help them know the right way to do things. In particular, keeping ones muzzle down range is something that has to be learned and enforced. Another rule is that we unload guns and keep the action open when someone is down range affixing targets. Our officers will work up a safety listing to pass out to new members.
Please use your guns on proper ranges. Pistols and rim fire 22 rifles only on the pistol ranges. Rifles on the rifle range. Shotguns on the new shotgun range (on the right of the rifle range) and if shooting trap (from center to right only) on the silhoutte range.

OK...so you have a large family and you need a bigger space to hold a picnic, or gathering for confirmation, graduation, or other celebration. Or...all the pavilions in the area are reserved the weekend you wish to have your party. Or...you need a large covered location in case of inclement weather. Or...it is an adult party and you wish to serve some alcohol and it is not allowed at public pavilions. Or...you don't have the extra funds to rent a firehall. Well now...you can rent our clubhouse with covered picnic table area for $50 per day. Contact any of our officers to reserve the space.
Membership in ISA is an important venture. The ability to shoot rifles, pistols, muzzle loaders, shotguns, and/or arrows to sharpen your skills and to give you the satisfaction of being "On Target" is valuable. Your membership includes the right of your "significant other" and/or ANY child under 18 years of age to participate with member present. Other family members and guests have to become members. We do have several events that are open to the public, a few coming up soon. Invite your family and/or guest(s) to them and plan ahead for a good time.
Our annual Open House will be held on September 25, 2016 from 12 to 4 PM. Reduced new membership prices, open to public shooting, food, exhibits and more will be on hand. Invite a friend or family members and have a fun afternoon. In addition to our tasty hotdogs and sauerkraut, we will have up to 10 favorite crock pot dishes for sampling. Click here for more info on crock pots.

No one should work alone. If you wish to perform some work at the club using your or club equipment, please call one of the volunteers to help and to provide additional safety. We don't want someone hurt and be by themselves. The list will be maintained here and in the clubhouse.

Anyone noting something that needs fixing or attention, please let one of our officers or Jack Ruffner know. We want to make sure our facility stays viable, respectable, and usable.
Remember that the club house can be rented for the low sum of $50, as long as the weather is expected to be above freezing (we turn off the water when the weather changes to prevent pipes freezing in the unheated clubhouse - usually Thanksgiving through March). The rental includes the club house and pavilion with tables outside. Alcohol is allowed in only these two areas with a rental. That graduation, confirmation, first communion, baptism, funeral get together, birthday, family picnic, or better can be held there. Go to our Club Rental page for additional info.
Please report any safety violations or accidents to one of our principal officers. The officers and board members need to review and have correct facts to respond to media, members, and public questions. Rumors travel fast and can be distorted. We are not looking for scapegoats or reasons to act against any members. Accidents happen, we all have done our share. If something can be done reasonably to correct a problem, be assured it will be done. Thank you.
