Does the Atlanta Club/Range have self defense short yardage ranges? Are you allowed To bring guests for a nominal fee? Any archery ranges? Thanks.
Very good. Thanks for the advice. I have heard good things about Atlanta. I’ll tell them Clay Pigeon at INGO sent me.
Its everything Elwood is Not, and you don't have to listen to a few A Hole Board Members and Trustee's that yell and belittle members...
Atlanta is a place for shooters. Elwood is a place to shoot.
This is a very fair description. I have seen many unfair comments about Elwood without any relatively...
Do you go to the meetings? I bet not...
Read and learn the clubs bylaws and then,
Go to a meeting and suggest something as simple as concrete under the shooting benches... Tell the board and the 22 old men at the meeting you will supply the labor with other members and see how it works out for you.
Suggest letting the local Boy Scout Troops use the field and camp a few weekends a year or help out on a volunteer day for some merit badge work.
Suggest starting 22 shoots with Apple Seed or Revere's Riders and see how it works out for you my friend. Ask the treasurer to explain where 18 to 22 hundred a month has been spent every month for years and years... Read and learn the clubs bylaws....
It is not written unfair...
Edit, even better run for treasurer, VP or President and see how it works out.....
Sounds like you want more than "Elwood is a place to shoot."...
I didn't think you went to meetings....
Like I have posted a few times already Mike, read and learn the clubs bylaws and then get back to me.....
The club has bylaws for many reasons, the board needs to abide by them or change them.....
And I will be very direct, I couldn't care less if they are stealing the money and exercising dictator powers as long as I can reasonably shoot for $65 bucks a year. If I go to Tim's in Westfield I have to follow their rules, same at any range. I didn't "join" to make friends, become an officer, arrange shoots, and set up scout camps. I just wanted to shoot and as long as their rules let me I will, if not I won't send my $65 any longer.
Not it sure why it upsets folks they have their ways and are stuck in them, and that someone is likely pocketing money. It is like that in about every association, even HOA's. LOL
Whos upset? Still haven't read the bylaws.... Well Reading is Fundamental..... Good Luck..
Why should I care? Why do you care? Why would I want to read the bylaws? I don't care. They are what they are. So what? They have a fiefdom one can shoot at. Guess what, so is just about every range out there. Their rules or the highway. I guarantee that Atlanta is a fiefdom too, there will be a small well connected group that run things, you do not agree with the Elwood folks. I get that. Heck, if you could shoot at your house and you invited me, I'd have to follow your fiefdom rules. LOL
