February 2012 NewsletterREMINDER TO ALL MEMBERS
Lockheed Martin's Workplace Security policy, SEC-003 is strictly enforced. One provision of the policy is a workplace free of weapons, which includes Firearms, Ammunition, Bows and Arrows. The club must emphasize this policy to our members. Additionally, a state issued CCW permit does not supersede nor over ride this LM policy. Members wanting to store firearms or archery equipment during the day ONLY, must contact Gene Adamson (303-971-1531) for access instructions.
Call Plant Protection (7-4646) if you have an incident or injury on the range.
ADDITIONAL REMINDER TO ALL MEMBERS AND RANGE USERS
Please be sure to observe the speed limits on the range access road. Please be careful when driving on the roads, the horses may not move out of your way. Gate signs are in place indicating when horses are in the pasture – if the sign says “horses in
pasture” they need to be kept closed. New signs have been added to help make sure it is clear if the gate should be open or closed.
Watch out for Rattlesnakes at the range! If you do not have your child’s Hunter Education (HE) or Home Firearm Safety (HFS) Card
you will be turned away from being able to shoot. Run a copy of the card and present it to the RSO the next time you are out. As these cards never expire, if you provide the copy once, you should be Ok for the future. If you need to get a copy of your HE card, call the Division of Wildlife or show a license that has the proof of Hunter Ed verified on it.
2012 SHFC ELECTIONS
Don’t forget to vote! If you have misplaced the ballot sent to you via e-mail, there is a copy posted on the website in both word and HTML format. The links are on the front of the website (http://gvtg.com/skyline/). Your ballot needs to be received by Jim Cathcart – NLT February 6 th as described in the President’s corner.
Also, don’t forget that the new board will be introduced at the Annual Banquet in February. The banquet will be held at the Country Buffet on Feb. 19, 2012 from 11:00 to 3:00. This is the location near Southwest Plaza on Wadsworth. Look for more details via e-mail soon.

SHFC February 2012 NewsletterPRESIDENT’S CORNER
According to the Georgian calendar, February is the second month of the year, and also the shortest month. February had 28 days until Julius Caesar gave it 29, and 30 days every four years. According to tradition, Augustus, the Roman emperor, took one day off to add one day to August, the month named after him. We now have February with 28 days, and 29 on leap years. In this short month, we get to see Groundhog Day, President’s Day, and, of course, Valentine’s Day. Don’t forget that a new gun, optic, or other shooting accessory make a great way to say “I love you” to your significant other!
DON’T FORGET TO VOTE! You should all have received a ballot for the 2012 club election. If you have misplaced yours, let me know and I’ll get you a new one. Ballots will be accepted via email or regular mail until 4:00 PM on Monday, February 6th. You may hand deliver them to the February BOD meeting if you are running really late. Remember, if you don’t vote you can’t complain!
The annual SHFC Banquet is coming up on Sunday, February 19th. We’ve got some great door prizes to give away, including the grand prize of a Ruger Model 77 rifle in .243 caliber. The banquet will be held at the Country Buffet (8100 West Crestline Avenue, Littleton, CO), just east off of Wadsworth between Bowles and Belleview. We’ll have a “State of the Club” summary, introduce the newly elected club officers, and present the Honorary Life Member belt buckles to this year’s group. Come on out and enjoy some great fellowship with other club members and try your luck with the door prizes! Keep an eye out for more details via club email.
If you notice anything that needs attention at the range, please be sure to let any of the BOD members know so that we can address it. If we don’t know about it, we can’t fix it!
We really need to start getting some scheduling done more than a couple of days ahead of time. PLEASE take a look at your personal calendars and sign up for some of the weekend time slots. We have a heavy-duty extension cord out there to run the heater in the RSO shed. It keeps things nice and toasty! Contact me ([email protected]) or Gene Adamson ([email protected]) if you have any questions or if you would like to go through a “mentoring session” to get familiar with the range operations.
As I have been saying for months, we still need a lot more membership participation to run the club and the ranges with this new method of operation. We’ve identified even more new jobs that need doing. Keep an eye on the emails for some of these announcements! We’ve got jobs that range from records keeping to running to Wal-Mart to landscaping! Don’t wait until the last minute to get your workbond done! Norm Viste ([email protected]) is our Workbond Chair and has a list of tasks that need to be done.

We are currently trying to assess the damage and get estimates on repair cost. In the mean time, the pavilion should not be used until repairs can be made.

If anyone would like to shoot at another time you may also call and I will arrange to set something up that will work for all.
COWBOY ACTION

PRACTICAL PISTOL - CLASSIC
First match for 2012 is on April 4th. For info or questions contact Mike Sullivan 303.977.3478, [email protected]
PRACTICAL PISTOL LADIES ONLY
Tom has retired and the baton has been passed. I will be running both Monday night events now. Starting on April 23rd and then every other Monday, 5-7 pm, we will be hosting the Practical Pistol Ladies Only activity. We meet at the gate around 4:15, and head to the range no later than 4:30. Only instructors get to talk to the Ladies, the other men have to remain silent and help with the brassing, target maintenance and score keeping. Same format as last year, bring your semi-auto pistol and 100 rounds of ammo. All shoes need to be closed toed and good flat bottomed shoes/boots are necessary, no sandals or other open toed shoes. Please wear a hat with a brim/bill and pants/shorts, not skirts. The spring and summer should be great since the winter has been so challenging. I hope to see you there. Call Dave Norris at 303-977-8068, or email at [email protected].
PRACTICAL PISTOL – LITE
Practical Pistol Lite is starting back up on April 16th, and goes every other Monday through September.For those of you who are new to Practical Pistol, this affords less experience shooters and opportunity to come out with a group of like-minded shooters and practice defensive skills. As always we will first and foremost focus on range safety. This year we are limiting participation to semi-automatics pistols in the effort to speed up the courses and get more shooting for everyone. Make sure your equipment (Pistol, Holster, Mag pouches) is in good repair and good working order. We meet at the gate around 4:15, and
Page 6 of 19
SHFC February 2012 Newsletterhead to the range no later than 4:30. Since April and May weather is so challenging, please dress in layers so you can stay warm just in case it gets cold. There has never been a better opportunity to tune your defensive pistol skills, and create a defensive mindset . Call Dave Norris at 303-977-8068, or email at [email protected].
SUPER TUESDAY COMPETITION PISTOL (STCP)
First match for 2012 is tentatively scheduled for April 3rd depending on the weather. Contact Benjamin Go @ (303) 971-1009 or [email protected] for additional info.
WINTER 3-GUN
Please note the date changes for the winter 3 gun matches. The February Winter 3-Gun will be held on February 11th at the pistol range. We will concentrate on target transition and movement. Winter 3-Gun matches are held once a month on Saturday mornings. Setup starts at 8:30 am with first shot at 9 am. Remaining match date for this season are: February 11th; March 10th and April 14th. For those new to 3-gun, it is similar to our Wednesday night practical pistol except we shoot the pistol, shotgun and semi-auto carbine/rifle for a combination of accuracy and speed. Getting bored sitting at the bench shooting paper targets? Want to develop your action shooting skills, shoot on the move, handle shooting under physical and mental pressure, add new dimensions to your shooting skills, refine and test your shooting gear? Winter 3-gun is the game for you. Shooters of all levels are welcome. Winter 3-Gun’s goals are safety, skill development, fun and challenge. Shooters new to practical action shooting should call ahead to arrange a safety briefing. Contact Walter Tang at 303-977-6474 or email [email protected] to get on the mailing list. I usually send out the stage description before the shoot so you’ll know what to expect and how much ammo to bring.
Dates and locations for winter 3-Gun events: Pistol House: February 11th, March 10th, April 7th
MUZZLE LOADING NEWS & SCORE SHEET
Muzzle Loading News and Score Sheet The Muzzle Loaders held their monthly shoot on Saturday 14 January. The muzzleloader shoot got off to a slow start Saturday. Shooters without a four wheel drive wisely did not try the road in, and as it turned out no one had a key to access the target shed. We did find enough targets to conduct a shoot
by using old targets from the trash with only 22 caliber holes in them. The plugs in the target stand holes were buried under the snow, and when found, were hard to get out, including the chains frozen in ice. However, we got under way with five shooters
Page 7 of 19
SHFC February 2012 Newsletterand had a great shoot with sunshine and no wind. Considering the late start, and since some other members wanted to shoot high power guns at two and three hundred yards we terminated after four relays instead of our regular five. The next match will be February 11 starting at 10:00. If interested, come on out and shoot. Remember all are welcome, Percussion, Flint, In-line. For additional information, call Ken Ruiz at ext 7-7827.

MEMBER ANNUAL TEST SUPPORT - WORKBOND
Many of you colorful members provided fascinating inputs over the specific questions of the annual member test required. I told you that if you complained, you could “own” that question. So, here’s your chance. The company wants both the Annual Safety Briefing and a test taken by each active member. We need a database of questions to select from. Please submit your complete questions and answer selections to Brian Sompayrac, [email protected] or Gene Adamson, [email protected] for consideration. If your questions are selected for the database, you will receive a half hour of workbond per successful question submitted. Please remember that the function of a “good” test is to reinforce knowledge and ensure understanding. We already have old, stupid, gotcha and incorrect questions…we don’t need any more of those. Call or email Brian or Gene if you need any information.

SHFC February 2012 NewsletterMiami Beach commissioners repealed the city’s laws restricting the sale, discharge and possession of firearms on Wednesday to comply with a state law that took effect in October. The Florida Legislature decided that it has the sole power to regulate firearms in Florida to the exclusion of any city or county in 1987, but the law did not include any penalties. In 2011, the legislature passed a law that gives the governor the power to remove elected officials who enact or enforce local firearm regulations. The law also provides for a $5,000 fine and gives gun owners and gun rights groups the right to sue for damages if they believe their rights have been violated.

Mark Waller, the legislation's sponsor, said the state is spending unnecessarily on its background check program because it duplicates checks already done federally.View the entire article at http://www.therepublic.com/view/story/97564b9cc6814092a510922a96558039/CO-XGR--Colorado-Gun-Bills/
