The topic of our last meeting was, again, the 2010 South Carolina State Shoot. We will be conducting repairs on the range on the 6th of March (rain date 13 Mar.) Rick Buxton has volunteered to measure up the range, inventory our supplies, and compile a list of needed materials. We have 1x4’s, will probably need some 4x4 for posts and 2x4 for general use.
