Considerable time is spent up keeping all the target boards at the 100, 50, 35 and 25 yard ranges. It is up to all of us to maintain the range, shoot at the targets as intended and show some pride in keeping up our facility.

Every member is responsible for policing our property and upholding safety rules.  All of us are responsible for asking others for their ID cards if they are not visible or addressing any safety violations.  If you feel uncomfortable addressing the issue, call Jack, call a board member, get the license plate number and descriptions.  Provide the information to the board so violations can be addressed.  "Thank You" for your support, PFGC Board of Directors.

4/6/09 Update - At the April membership meeting the DRAFT range rules were printed and passed out to the tables for changes and input.  At the April Board Members Meeting the range rules will be finalized and brought in front of the membership for the May Members Meeting.

IDEA - This year the locks/combination will change.  In order to receive the new lock combination, members will need to sign a copy of the range rules.  What do you think?  Send your thoughts to PFGCBoard@pfgc.org 

Updated DRAFT Set of Range Rules (PDF file) - This updated draft of the range rules was reviewed by the Board and going to be presented to the members at the April 6th Membership meeting.  Please review and submit your ideas to the PFGCBoard@pfgc.org.

Initial DRAFT Set of Range Rules (PDF file) - Here is a DRAFT set of range rules.  Please review and submit your ideas to the PFGCBoard@pfgc.org.  At the February board meeting we will be gathering input and making updates.

New Member Reminder - Upon completion of the orientation, all new members must sign a copy of the range rules acknowledging that they understand them and will obey them.

Mandatory - Wear Your ID Cards

PFGC is increasing compliance for wearing your ID card while on the Bedford property.  People not wearing their badges will be asked to come to the next board meeting and explain why they were not wearing their badge.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the board @ PFGCBoard@pfgc.org 

If you see a person not wearing a badge, please ask them to see their badge.  If they can not show you their badge, please ask them to leave.  If you do not feel comfortable asking them to leave, please contact any of the board members with the persons name and vehicle information.

For the past year, there has been many communications at the membership meetings, on this web site and board meetings stating members must wear your ID card so it can be seen while on the property.  At the February Members Meeting on Feb 2nd, 2009, new plastic ID cards were issued along with plastic clips. 

The membership badges are expensive and we are fortunate to have quality plastic badges that we have.  The setup and production of the badges is not an easy task.  Getting replacements will not be simple.  Please take care of them.

New members who have not completed field orientation are not allowed to use the field without a full member present

Note - Local law authorities do have permission to come onto the property and investigate activity.  They will be asking for your PFGC ID card.

No Moving of Targets

NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO MOVE THE TARGETS.  If you see someone moving the targets forward from their stands or shooting at targets not in the target stand location, please ask the shooters to stop.  If you are uncomfortable asking the person to stop, call a board member, get a license plate number and get that information to the PFGCBoard@pfgc.org  Violators will be contacted by the board and their privileges revoked.  Violators will not be allowed to use the range until they come to the next board meeting and explain why they did what they did.

The club went through a huge effort to set up the safety barriers and provide for safe shooting.  By moving the targets forward or shooting at targets not located in the target area, you are creating an unsafe condition.  All it takes is one incident and WE WILL ALL LOOSE our opportunity to use the range.

Shooting Time

At the October Board meeting, the Board discussed the range shooting hours as 8:30am to Sunset.  These hours will be announced at the membership meetings, posted on the range rule signs which are in the process of being written/created and posted on the web site.  Anyone found violating the shooting times will be asked to come in front of the board and explain.

Note - Local law authorities do have permission to come onto the property and investigate activity.  They will be asking for your PFGC ID card.

Reporting of Violations

Per our President and Board of Directors, any member is authorized to stop volitions in progress.  If you see someone breaking the range rules, please ask them to stop.  Get their name.  If they are not wearing their card in plain site, ask them for their card and to wear their card in plain site.  Contact a board member, get the license plate number.  These are your responsibilities as members of the club.

Mud Locks

4/7/10 Update

The logging company has started to clear the debris from the wind storm.  It is expected that removal and cleanup will be completed by Friday evening.  Friday evening the mud locks will be taken off the gate so that the club is open for the weekend.  Be safe and enjoy!

Post Wind Storm Update

At the general members meeting held on March 1, 2010, the President of the Club advised the members in attendance that mudlocks were being installed not only to preserve the integrity of the road leading to camp but also reported that the last storm fell over 100 trees across the ROW. Some had fallen to the ground, others presented a hazard to passerby’s. The State of NHDOT has contracted a logging company (most of the trees that fell were not on our property) but did land on our ROW. They have mobilized and clearing is going as expected. On Thursday when I was there, much of the tree trunk removal was completed but the remaining brush remained on the road making conditions not fit for any vehicle passage. When access is reinstated to the members, you will see first hand, the devastation that occurred.

Reminder - Badges to be worn in plain site while at the range; NO badge, NO use

For those who may not know what this means, each spring we put additional padlocks on the gates to prevent access until road conditions improve.  When the board determines it is safe, the additional padlocks will be removed.  If you have any questions, please contact the board.
