A Message from the SBRGC President Watch the web page because the rainy season has started and it will cause range closures.

We need Range Safety Officers We are looking for club members interested in becoming Range Safety Officers and Trap Range Safety Officers. Basic safety indicates that we need more than one RSO on a given range and some ranges require more than two RSOs. With five active ranges, we have many open spots to fill. For more information contact the Chief Range Safety Officer, Jeff Chambers at phone: 619-710-5838, email : [email protected]. When you become a SBRGC RSO there are benefits: 1.  Key to the range 

2.  You can open a range by yourself for your usage. 

3.  Once you serve one year (As per the SOP) your membership is free as long as you continue to serve. 

4.  Annual Dinner that the club pays for your dinner tickets for you and a guest. Only one duty day a month (Your Choice) However we prefer that you pick days where we have shortages. 

Property Development: Range 6 - "K" Rails have been installed in the middle of the parking lot and along the outer edge to help control parking. The next big project is the removal of the water tank on the south west area of the parking lot. This tank will be relocated to the Ranch to replace an older water tank. Ranch - Demolition of the walls in the Ranch House (Future Club House) continues.

UTILITIES ELECTRICAL UPGRADE: The utilities upgrade is planned for Range 6. Range Estimated start date is in March/April 2017, final dates will be published in the News Letter when available. When sched-uled, Range 6 will be closed Mon-Fri for contractor, (SDG&E or ATT), to work down range. Contract has been released to the contractor.

WORK PARTY NOTICE: The work party for Mar 4 is scheduled and you are invited to attend. Some of the Projects scheduled include: Continued work on the Phone System, work on the interior demo of the club house on the ranch, Welding on Target Stands, Cleaning the "K" rails for painting. The more members who attend the more jobs get done.

New Phone System: The new phone system is being installed on the range complex and has many features. Estimated completion is in 60 days. New features include:

Emergency Phone on each range. Capability to call between ranges. Capability to transfer incoming phone calls to any range. Capability to have a Credit Card machine on each range. Capability to have any range as the check in range (Note: If the current check in range (i.e. Range 6) is

Firearms Laws. California Department of Justice (DOJ) is in the process of defining what the voters passed in prop 63. Once the process is complete they will publish these for review. At present the DOJ has drafted two plans on the implementation of the laws, one for Magazines and one for Assault Weapons and both have been pulled due to issues.

The Schuetzenguilde was rained out again for our January match on the 22nd, so we decided to hold a make-up match for those who could come the following Sunday.

Long Range Pistol / Lever Action Rifle Silhouette Match February 5, 2017

Upcoming matches: March 5 - Normal Lever Action Match March 18 – 22LR & Pistol Caliber Match (100m Range) April 2 – Normal Lever Action Match Set up on the Main Range starts at 7:45. Ryan King, Match Director 619-888-7667

Lever Ac on Rifle Score Rifle Caliber

Match Winner  Ryan King  37  Marlin 1893  32 HPS

Knocking down these big critters is lots of fun, so if you haven’t tried it, dust off that old lever gun hiding in the back of the safe and come on out! Bring 50 rounds of ammo – 40 for the match and 5 or 10 to sight in. 30-30 is a perfect caliber, but anything between 357Mag and 45-70 works, so long as it’s safe in a tube magazine. Course of fire is 10 rounds each: Chickens at 50 yards, Pigs at 100 yards, Turkeys at 150 yards and Rams at 200 yards.

Garrow Firearms Development Inc First Gas operated 17 HMR semi automatic. *Runs on the popular AR-15 platform* You may have seen me at the rifle range testing a prototype AR-15. I was the guy with 100's of 17HMR cases on the ground blasting zombie targets at the 50 yard range.

I am starting production of an upper receiver assembly that shoots from a gas operated, locked, bolt. Designed in safety features that prevent firing unless it is in battery. Works on any Mil-Spec lower. Includes complete upper, buffer-spring assembly, two 10 round magazines, and instructions.

I am offering these at $499.00 to club members!

MAR 17 THE OLDE ROD & GUNNER 8

Congratulations to our winners. Welcome to our new shooters. Thanks to all for your participation.

2017 is going to be an interesting year. We have what I believe is a pro gun President - after 8yrs of anti-gun politics. But, Californians are seeing a very Liberal Left movement with restrictions and prohibitions pouring out of the State legislature as to what you can buy, own, or use - this might be the worst year in my 30 yrs of being here. Support the CRPA, NRA, and write your elected representatives . Our next Match is April 30, Dave

CMP 2017 RULE CHANGE HIGHLIGHTS

Highpower Alternative Rifle

The new Highpower Alternative Rifle rule will allow competitors in states where the ownership or possession of M16/AR-type rifles is prohibited to use a rifle that has the same capabilities as an M16/AR-type rifle.

a. Alternative Rifles may be either semi-auto or manually operated and must be chambered for the 5.56 x 45mm NATO cartridge (.223).

b.Optical sights with a manufactured maximum of 4.5X are permitted.

c.These rifles must have a minimum 4.5-pound trigger pull, a maximum barrel length of 20 inches and a fixed sling swivel on their fore-ends.

d.Alternative Rifles may have stocks with the same adjustment capabilities as Service Rifles, that is butt-stock length may be adjustable, but the cheek-piece and butt-plate must be fixed. Stock design and magazine configuration is flexible according to what is permitted in the competitor’s state.

REDUCED PALMA MATCH February 2017 Our Reduced Palma Match was rained out for the third month in a row!  Oh well, at least the State’s water reservoirs are full.   

Local  weather  did  not  stop  our  F‐TR  guys  from  compe ng  in  the  6  day  long  2017  Berger  Southwest  Na onals  at  Phoenix.  They sent me the following report.   “The South Bay F‐TR Class shooters headed out to Phoenix, AZ, to miss the rain but not that X ring.  

Mark Roth (the Mr. Clean) had a stellar match winning a relay, first with 10x’s then 19x's in a row for a 200‐19x, 

WOW.  Mark also placed 3rd in other matches and finished with a score that would have won the championship last 

year.  Lee Davis started with one of his best scores at 800 yards, a 199.   

Lee Davis and Gary Atkinson won a very impressive 4th place in the Team match. Bill Baston took advantage of the 

many clinics offered by the best shooters in the country.  Bill Tusch was as steady as ever pos ng big scores in very 

windy condi ons.” 

Good Going Guys! Keep’em in the middle!  Mike 

WE ARE NOT SATTELITE!

NRA High Power Rifle Match February 12, 2017

Is this a new South Bay Range Record? A 792/800 is not bad! Some former Match Directors are looking through old Match Reports for the answer. So far, Mark Heckman has found a 795-32X fired by Eric on 14 June 2009. We will keep searching old files as I would like to keep track of our best scores. BTW, Eric is the 2013 National Champion! “Many Thanks!!” to Mike StClair for running the line. Also, thanks to all the Shooters that braved the possibility of bad weather and came out to shoot. It turned out to be a very nice day. Knowing the Services were issuing ACOGS to troops and seeing the popularity of scoped ARs at our range, it seemed time to expand what we permit for sights. Three years ago, I started writing to the NRA Rules Committee to allow optical sights (ACOGS, scopes). As of 2016, optical sights have been allowed in NRA High Power. As predicted, optical sights are becoming more popular on the firing line. Popular yes, but I am not certain optical sights will make a big difference in scores for beginning shooters or the more experienced ones. After all, Eric’s 2009 795-32x was done with iron sights, and because of the guy behind the sights! So whatever you are using, keep getting better with it. For now the type of sights do not seem to be changing the scores. If that does change, iron sights have such an historic place in shooting, we will offer a local match category for them. For the High Power Shooters wishing to improve their 600 yd skills we have been driving over to the Imperial Valley Rifle & Pistol Association’s Mid-Range and High Power Matches. We always receive a warm welcome.

Back: Eric Berg, Shannon Doyle, Eric Swearingen, Chad Allbritton, Mike StClair. Front: Dan Bubke, Patrick Ayers, Andrew Marumoto, Mike Costello.
