Spring 2018 Range Clean up Day

During the winter when the nice white snow covers everything the range and grounds of the Club look beautiful. Once the snow melts and dries it is a completely different story. And so on Saturday May 12 athletes and families from the RBC descended on the Regina Wildlife Federation for Range Clean Up Day!

Many hands made the work a bit lighter on Saturday, with targets repaired and painted, garbage hauled out, firewood cut and stacked for next Winter and a general clean-out of the warm-up shack and shed. 

We also made plans and prepared for future work this summer. 

  • The rebuild and addition of 2 large windows in the safe area.
  • Maintenance on the tin roofs of the warm up shack and shed. 
  • Additional shelves built in the shed.
  • Power run out to the targets to run lights for night practices.
Wall at the back of the safe area should have 2 large 9 by 6 wondows in it by this Fall.

In all we will have a busy summer of cardio and shooting for the athletes, and cardio and work for the parents. We aim to have small incremental improvements to our range and club year over year, with the express outcome of making everyone experience in our club a better one. 

The athletes and kids were busy hauling wood, checking the trails for fallen brush, repairing wind flags, garbage collection and tiring out the dogs.
