Tri-City Gun Club

Steven A Fletcher passed last night in Norman after a long illness.

Steve and I joined Tri City in 1983.  He was the legal advisor to the TCGC for several years.  We worked a lot for the club back then, I recall a rush to complete the short range in time for the 1989 shotgun Olympics, I  remember us planting 200 trees along the north border to cut down on noise in Norman.  Steve lived in Norman and took many new shooters to the range.  We were also in the first cycle of  CCW instructors, in 1996.

Anyway, lots of older members will remember Steve.  A good guy.

Lee will be greatly missed.   He was a long time member and looking forward to his life membership next year.  Nothing thrilled Lee more than working with the young shooters in the club and at the events.

We are sad to hear about the passing of Mary Ann Hedrick.  Doyal Hedrick's wife.  They were long time supports of the NRA and the gun club!

Yes. We had a little rain.  But the range was still accessible.  Hard to get in due to Crawdad protection squads.

WARNING!!!  Snakes and Critters

When you come to the range, be conscious of what is around you, look before you pick things up from the ground, move sand bags, open trap machines, etc.  When you walk down range, pay attention to what is around you.

If you encounter snakes and critters, leave them alone, make note of where they are, give them a wide berth, do not try to pick them up and do not shoot them.  They will move along given the right opportunity.

Early this morning a member encountered what he reported to be three Copperhead Snakes, around the Stat House that were probably enjoying the buffet of little frogs around the night light pole. Of course the little frogs were enjoying the buffet of little bugs atracted to the light. He encouraged them to move to the west off of the range.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
