East End Rod & Gun Club

Many of you participate in events and clincs throughout the year, sponsored by the East End Rod & Gun Club.  These offer fun for you and the family, good shooting experiences, and the opprotunity to promote the shooting sports.  These events includes 5 Stand shotgun, Muzzle Loaders, Cowboy Action.  The Club also sponsors the Family Range Day, First Shots, and Women On Target clinics.  All of these are managed by event directors, volunteers who work with the Board to offer a variety of shooting sport events for the members, and also to the public.  

Unfortunately, 3 of the events sponsored by the Club now lack an event director, and will not be held until someone else will take up the reins.  So, we are looking for three people to take charge of the  3 Gun Challenge, 22 Silhouette, and Rimfire Challenge.  

What do these events involve?  Here's a brief description:

• • 3 Gun Challenge:  Competitive shooting with a semi-automatic rifle (generally AR15 style in .223), pistol (semi-automatic recommended, 9mm and larger), and pump or semi-automatic shotgun (12 gage recommended).  Each event can have 1-4 stages, and each with a different course fire. Targets may be paper, steel, or clay pigeon.  Stages may be timed, by elimination, or scored.  This occurs on the 4th Saturday from March through October, starting at 9 am, with a final Turkey Shoot on the 2nd Saturday in November, where the winner wins a cash card as the prize!  
  • 22 Silhouette:  Competitive shooting with .22 pistols and rifles, using small metallic silhouette targets set at 20, 40, 60, and 80 yards, from a standing and unsupported position.  Open sights or optics may be used.  These shoots take place on the second Saturday at 9 am throughout the year, and on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays at 5 pm from April through October.
  • Rimfire Challenge: Speed shooting at steel targets using .22 rifles and pistols, with a variety of targets set in 5-7 stages. A good event for a family of all ages.  Rimfire is held on the 3rd Thursday at 5 pm, from June through October.

Who can be an event director? 

Any club member!

What does an event director do?

The event director plans, coordinates, and runs each event throughout the year.  Responsibilities includes recruiting assistants and Range Safety Officers, designing the target layout, developing safety plans, coordinating supplies and materials, running the event, setting up and cleaning the range, and reporting results to the Board.  An event director is the Range Officer of the range(s) throughout an event; holding Range Safety Office credentials is optional, but encouraged.

There may be some financial management as well, depending on the event and any grants supporting it.  Since these are sponsored by the club, funding, supplies, and liability insurance are provided to the event directors.  The real investment will be your time and effort.
