The lack of rain has prevented the lifting of the fire danger, and that in turn has cancelled the Williams fireworks, and therefore our job of parking attendants.  The July 9th USPSA fundraiser has also been cancelled. 

The Williams Sportsman’s Club is hosting the Kingman Mohave Green Shooters fundraiser summer matches this year.  Match dates are second Saturday of July, August and September.  Sign up at 9:30AM, Shooters meeting at 10AM.  Match will be 5 stages, fundraiser is $15 for Williams Sportsman’s Club members, $20 for non-members.  WSC membership forms and directions to the range are available on this web site.  Match scores will be posted on the USPSA Area 2 web site.  USPSA rules apply.

 

Come join us in the pines for some cool summer shooting.  After entering the range, please keep the range gate closed as the area’s cattle lease is in effect 

The City Council has approved fireworks for this 4th of July (barring high fire danger or red flag wind warnings).  The Chamber is putting together a hometown party at the Rodeo Grounds on July 4th, with live entertainment, bake sales, dunk tank, etc.
 
Our Williams Sportsman's Club has been offered the task of providing the parking attendants for this event.  The Chamber plans to charge $5 per carload, and will split the profits 50-50 with us for our service.  This is a great opportunity to earn some money to go toward our costs.  We need to have 12-14 volunteers who will commit to being at the Rodeo grounds from about 4pm to 8:30 (or when the parking fills up).
 
What will the club use this money for?  Our next project at the range is to build shade structures at all bays, and then we will probably look at signage that will meet the Forest Service requirements.  We also will renew our insurance for the club for the use of the range, and are in the process of becoming a tax exempt organization (filing fees!!).  Please RSVP to vickia@williamssportsmansclub.org if you can help with this activity!  THANKS!!

The Range will now be open for practice from 9AM to 1PM on Saturdays (given that the weather coopera tes and an RSO is available).  Please check the Web site Friday after noon for up-to-the minute status of the Range Practice Days.

April 16th was the date of our first Ham Shoot and it was a success!  18 shooters took part in the contest, purchasing 34 targets.  Targets were a V shape, with the  goal of getting your shot inside the V, closest to the point of the V as possible, WITHOUT BREAKING THE INK!  That last item was the killer, for if you broke the ink, the target was disqualified.  Unfortunately, a few of us did have our targets disqualified (we WON'T mention names here)!  All was not lost if your target was disqualified, as you could purchase a second chance for $5!  All in all, everyone had a lot of fun, and raised $166.33 for the Williams Youth Center Skate Park improvements after the prizes were purchased.  And a big congratulations to our winners:  Scott S (1st) and Jeff (2nd) - Shoot What You Bring 100 yards.   Jerry (1st) - Shoot What You Bring 50 yards.   Brandon (1st) - Pistol.   Bethany K (1st) - Rimfire 50 yards.   Anthony V (1st) - Youth Rimfire 50 yards.

The shooting range has been scheduled for practice from Noon to 3PM on the second and fourth Saturdays of January through March.  Also, Sunday DECEMBER 26 has been scheduled as a practice day.  All practice days are dependant on the weather and road conditions, so be sure to CHECK THE CALENDAR BEFORE GOING out to the Range.
