Worthy of Mention:
#1: Rapid Fire Rule: All firearms shooting is to have a minimum of two (2) seconds between shots. Rapid fire is not allowed.
#2: People are shooting at orange clay birds on the Hi-Power rifle range. The birds are being placed on the ground below the target frames, or on the berms above the frames. This is in violation of paper targets only attached to target frame rule. This rule is in place to prevent bullets from leaving the WBBSC grounds. If you or a guest of yours are busted shooting clay birds or other non-paper objects not attached to the target frame your WBBSC membership will be suspended pending consideration
#3: Be mindful that if you intend to pattern your shotgun use the patterning target frame over on the trap/clays range. This frame moves from time to time, if you seek it, it can be found. Folks using the rifle range target backers to pattern are destroying same. Please do not do this. While I’m at it, please do not shoot the rifle and pistol range target backer frames. Thanks in advance.

This is a decision introduced at the March member meeting, and voted into approval by WBBSC members present at that meeting.
Heads up current WBBSC members: regarding the 2013 membership renewals that you will receive in the mail later this year. These renewals must be returned completed and paid in full prior to January 1, 2013. The consequence of not renewing will remove you from the WBBSC member roster and could make room for New Member applicants.
The WBBSC BOD is currently discussing future new member application options. Results will be communicated when available.
Considering WBBSC Membership? Two important tasks you need to do.
#1: Become acquainted with a current WBBSC member in good standing who will Sponsor you. If you know a current WBBSC member you are good to go.

You will be introduced to the range facilities and coached regarding the rules associated with proper use of the WBBSC facilities. The Board Member will provide his/her name and signature on your WBBSC New Member Application. Be sure that this happens.
