President’s Message – October 2020

President’s Message

(October 2020)

I want to make all of you aware that the Northern Illinois Pistol and Rifle Club will be having a pistol shoot this Saturday October 10 from 9 am to 2 pm. They will be driving on the road behind our trap and skeet fields. I mention this because there have been rogue/trespassing shooters over there that do not have permission to be there. The trespassing shooters park at the gate and walk in. If anyone observed this illegal activity, please contact and I will call the president of the pistol club and/or the sheriff as these trespassers could endanger our club members.

As I communicated in a past email the planned pig roast has been cancelled and rescheduled to sometime next year depending on the COVID 19 conditions.

The annual landfill lunch was a success in spite of the virus. We made up individual meals and sent them over to the folks at the landfill instead of having them come over to the club to eat as we have in the past. I believe they had an enjoyable meal of new york strip steak, cheesy potatoes, baked beans, and pumpkin squares for dessert. Thanks landfill folks for all that you do for our club.

As most of you know, the COVID 19 has reared its ugly head again for Region 1 in Illinois with a rolling average positivity rate of over 8 percent. The state is imposing new guidelines and restrictions for Rockford and Region 1 in response. We have previously issued safety guidelines for Rockford Skeet (RSC) and those remain in effect. In addition, the board would like to ask your help in adhering to these rules with an emphasis on the following areas:

Social distancing: Please spread out adhering to the six foot rule when shooing, socializing, using the club house and pretty much all activities at the club. Working out of your car and utilizing additional seating outdoors such as lawn chairs is recommended. If you can’t maintain 6 feet distance, please where a mask.

Club House: The club house is open but food should not be prepared. There are hand sanitizers and wipes in the club house for everyone’s use. In addition, we got lucky and have enough paper towels for foreseeable future so please feel free to wash your hands frequently. Also, there is tape on the floor marking six feet distances for your reference. As it gets colder, you may use the club house to warm up but please maintain your distance inside. If you can’t, please wear a mask.

On the fields: Best practice is still to have an individual puller for each squad responsible for sanitizing the remote. If you can’t designate such an individual, please be sure to disinfect the remote and again wash your hands frequently. Also, spread out so that six feet distances can be maintained. If you can’t please wear a mask.

If anyone is interested in getting certified for the handgun range, please contact Milt Schwanke at 815-988-2278, George Ketter at 815-456-2871, or Caleb Davis at 815-243-1483. You will need to bring a handgun, ammo, eye and ear protection and a $25.00 annual fee.

We will be having a free of charge pig roast on October 10, 2020 starting at 11;30 am. If you have not made your reservation through our online survey and would like to attend, please email me at sam.valenza@att.net no later than October 1. Members and their immediate family and grandchildren are invited. We will be providing the pig roast and all of the trimmings. Hot dogs and hamburgers will be available for anyone that does not like pork. All shooting venues will be open starting at 9:00 am.

The club will be hosting our annual steak lunch for the guys at the landfill this coming Friday, September 11, in appreciation for all that they do for us. The club will be open for shooting by the membership.

This coming Saturday, September 12, will be the next pistol shoot. It will be a bullseye match with 30 shots at 25 yards. First is slow fire with 10 shots in 5 minutes. Second will be a timed fire with 5 shots in 20 seconds, 2 strings. Finally, rapid fire with 5 shots in 10 seconds, 2 strings. Any caliber handgun is acceptable including 22’s. You can use 1 or 2 hands. Shooting times will be 9 am, 10 am, and 11 am. If you haven’t already let George Ketter (815-456-2871) know what time you prefer.

As I stated previously new aluminum picnic tables have replaced the deteriorating wood tables except for the two that are under the trees on the trap and skeet fields. We also have installed new maintenance free gun racks to replace all of our wood racks except the two in front of the club house. We do have three spare racks for future needs.

Our annual clean up day has been moved from the spring time frame to Saturday September 26 starting at 8:30 am. Bring out your shovels, rakes, and trimmers. No shooting will be allowed until all of the work is done. I hope to see you there. Hot coffee and donuts will be provided.

President’s Message – August 2020

President’s Message

(August 2020)

It has been brought to the Board’s attention that there are some safety concerns at the handgun range. It appears that some shooters have been shooting outside of the range house. This action is prohibited. All shooting has to be done form inside of the range house. Also the steel targets have been moved to close to the range house. Again this is not permitted as the bullets may ricochet and injure yourself or another shooter. The steel targets are only to be moved by the handgun range committee members. The paper target stands can be moved closer to the range house. I want to remind everyone that only the steel targets and paper targets are permitted on the range. No cans, bottles, jugs, watermelon, etc. are permitted. Termination of membership will be strongly considered if these rules and all club rules are violated. Safety is our number 1 priority.

There have been some issues on the 5 stand range with some member not loading the machines when finished shooting and not logging out the remotes. This range and all ranges should be left in the same or better condition that you found it in.

The skeet machines were serviced by the Promatic service representative with no major issues found. Club member Brad Yocum was trained on servicing the machines during this visit. Thanks Brad for volunteering to take on this task.

New aluminum picnic tables have replaced the deteriorating wood tables except for the two that are under the trees on the trap and skeet fields. We also have on ordered new gun racks to replace all of our wood racks. These are maintenance free racks and should last for many years. The racks should be delivered sometime next week.

The next pistol shoot is on August 22. Shooting times are 9, 10, and 11 am with 8 shooters per time slot. This will be a compact pistol shoot with barrels less than 4 inches with a 30 round course of fire. No rapid reloading. If you don’t own a compact pistol, George has 4 that you can borrow with FREE ammo. Send an e-mail to George Ketter at geosueket@msn.com to let him know what time slot you want. If you have not signed up and are interested in shooting this event please call George at 815-456-2871 or email him.

The BOD is considering having a free of charge pig roast in the fall provided that we can get a minimum of 50 participants. Members and their immediate family and grandchildren are invited. A survey will be sent out in the near future asking who and how many of your family will attend. It is tentatively planned for October 10. I will provide more details as that date approaches.

If anyone is interested in getting certified for the handgun range, please contact Milt Schwanke at 815-988-2278, George Ketter at 815-456-2871, or Caleb Davis at 815-243-1483. You will need to bring a handgun, ammo, eye and ear protection and a $25.00 annual fee.
