Steve suggested doing cash payback for Club shoots and medallions for the kids. All agreed. Steve Seals will obtain more medallions.

New Facebook Page

Steve Seals has been talking to an internet guru friend who suggested increasing exposure by developing a new Facebook page. Charles agreed. Steve Milewski asked questions about why. Steve answered because the other one requires membership approval. The new page would be public. Jeanette pointed out that may lower SEO, Search Engine Optimization and be confusing. Too many choices. Steve disagreed. A new facebook page will be developed.



Crossbows on the Range

Steve opened the discussion about having Crossbows allowed. They are the current rage and Steve believes that it will increase membership by about 10 to 15. Speeds can be in excess of 350 mph. Steve lopping off thumbs a common concern. Charles pointed out that the new crossbows are safer. It was pointed out by Wayne that crossbows at that speed will destroy range targets and suggested placing a disclaimer notice at the club house that warn about damage to “bolts” when crossbows are fired on practice range targets. “Bolts” which are crossbow arrows may be damaged. Motion by Delvin to allow crossbows. Wayne seconded. Motion passed.

ASA Update

Rule have changed. Now except for Open classes, all other classes are known. Thus range finders allowed. Steve therefore announced that range finders will be allowed at all tournaments were accepted including club shoots.

Membership

Steve wanted to hear ideas on how to increase membership. Suggestions made by Delvin to have a membership packet that goes out with range rules, gate code, membership card, CCBA sticker, and tournament schedule. No discussion took place on who would put that together or how postage would be paid. More than likely secretary Jeanette. Everyone thought that was a good idea.

Discussion took place on keeping the PO Box. Jeanette pointed out that over 10 memberships were received that way last year. It was decided to keep the PO box and that Charles would maintain. Charles informed Steve Milewski that he would pay for the PO box and sub the $70 required for his membership, as is what he did last year.

Charles will change gate code on January 1st.

Steve presented Jeanette with two outstanding membership forms, but those were from May and June. Charles stated that would opening up a whole lot of chaos. Charles said NO. Jeanette agreed and said that many forms, the website, the facebook pages, and such would require changing. It would require lots of work. Steve Milewski said that our range being open at all times is a bargain in itself and way cheaper than other ranges. No one else even offers that. Brought up for motion, no one seconded.
