Even though at least one work party is not mandatory starting this year, we still need to keep records of work party attendees as $10 is added on to the dues payment for each up to three work parties missed.Please sign the work party sign up sheet and make sure all persons attending a work party sign up and the sign up sheet is left in the folder or given to Smokey Burdin as soon as convenient. He needs to keep a running record to answer questions and to lessen the year end work load of recording the info. Please do not hold on to the sheet. Thanks for your help.

2019 Opening of rifle deer hunting season has been finalized as Saturday November 30 after Thanksgiving. That gives 3 Saturdays for hunting. Split comments from hunters but more info on the Pennsylvania Game Commission web site.
Click on 2019 Fishing Regulations for FREE Official Regulations, etc.
Please do not shoot at the ground (possible ricochets) or in the air (has to come down somewhere). This practice could happen and harm a neighbor. All HELL to pay if that happens.
Please consider letting us know your occupation or your expertise and whether you are willing and able to use that expertise at a work party. Let President Joyce know to get on the list. Thank you.

Entry Gate - Open or Closed
Note that the entry gate has to stay open if anyone is on the property. This is for fire and ambulance admittance as needed. And it is closed and locked if you are the last one to leave the property.
If you did not send a SASE with your dues or otherwise did not get your membership card, they are kept in the clubhouse medicine cabinet near the phone. Come to a meeting and ask, come when an activity is going on in the clubhouse, or have someone else let you in to the clubhouse.

Vehicles coming down to the gate have the right of way. Vehicles entering must not enter or must back down to give vehicles leaving room to exit. Hopefully this will prevent damaging the sides or drainage of the paved way. Thank you for your help.
Any shotshell ammo from pistol, rifle or shotgun can be used on the shotgun range (to right of rifle range). Single projectile cannot. This is sort of a new thing so enjoy.
The archery door is there to protect the straw (and shade the black snake). Please open the door fully when using the range, put your targets in front of the hay (hay serves as a backstop) and please do not shoot the door. All arrows stuck in the door will be confiscated.
We do not want anyone to be hurt while operating our equipment and machinery. We will continue to keep a logbook of those who are authorized to operate certain machinery. If you wish to be qualified, let any officer or Kevin Kennelty know, and you will either be trained at that time or we will schedule group classes as convenient.
All shooting ranges are closed at SUNSET. Please abide by that rule, as it might not take much for neighbors to sign a petition to close us down. Anyone caught shooting after sunset might have their membership card taken and will have to come to a board meeting and explain their reasoning. Ejection from the club is a real possibility.
If you have any ideas, changes, or improvements to the facility; you are encouraged to give them to any officer for board consideration. Thank you in advance for your input.
Please shoot on the proper ranges. Pistols and rim fire 22 rifles only on the clubhouse (.22 only), upper pistol and lower pistol ranges. Rifles on the rifle range. Shotshells on the new shotgun range (right of the rifle range) and if shooting trap on the silhouette range, please shoot from center to right only. Please pick up your shells on the rifle range. Please don't leave them for someone else to slip or fall and injure themselves.
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 accompanying. Other family members and guests have to become members. We do have several events that are open to the public, and for these events, invite those not included in your membership and plan ahead for a good time.
Sell, Buy or Trade - An ISA member and have something you don't use anymore? Want something you really need? Have something you wish to trade. To sell, buy or trade, send identification and contact info to ourisanews@gmail.com.
What's Broken? - Anyone noting something that needs fixing or attention please let Kevin Kennelty or one of our officers know. We want to make sure our facility stays viable, respectable, and usable.
Safety/Accidents - 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.
