Golf Cart Training at the Rifle Range
Since the rifle range will be shut down all day Saturday Sept 12, 2015, for the annual NSSA family picnic, there will be training sessions all morning at the rifle range on the use of the golf cart.
Starting time is 8 AM and will continue until about noon. Anyone who wants the training and has not taken it is welcome. I believe I can train perhaps 30 to 40 members on a first come first serve basis. You must bring your access card so it can be updated to provide access as well as for proof of membership.
See you Saturday Sept 12.
Thanks,
Stan Hoover, Rifle Range Chairman
