60 or so visitors attended a special rifle open day at the range ranging from 12 to 17 year old boys and girls to their Mum's and Dad's who also participated in the rifle safety handling orientation and .22 rifle shooting. VISITOR / FAMILY DAY AT SVPSL bySteve Brown - SVPSL Club President Congratulations to all the
members that helped with the juniors and the parents / guardians that
attended the club We were expecting between 30
to 35 young people and when I was told on Saturday morning at 9 am that
there was 65 possibly 75 coming, it was to say the least a bit of a shock.
As usual the members that were there took on the
challenge in true Southern Vales style, to individually oversee each participant and the day was
an over whelming success. All the juniors and parents who attended had several
opportunities to try their hand at target shooting with .22 rifles.
Then most chose to try some center fire rifles with most of the
younger people taking up the offer and enjoying the challenge of experiencing the larger
calibers. The day ended with many of
the visitors trying race guns, standard guns as well as production guns
all conducted under the supervision of SVPSL Members who volunteered their
time. It was extremely pleasing
having many of the parents come to me and congratulate SVPSL Members and
the Executive on the professional way that we conducted the day.
Some of the comments the parents made
were,
"Extremely Safe" ,"Friendly
people", "Professional attitude", "Family
friendly", "Well organized", "Great
facility" .
The day's experience saw all the visitors
leaving with a smile on their face with several asking for membership information
and forms. Activities like this go a long
way to educate others in the community that have not had anything to do with
a Firearms Club and or a member of a firearms club. I am sure that these
young people their parents / Guardians will be able to give a positive
response the next time that someone asks them about gun clubs and or their
members. Once again Congratulations to
all those who helped and thanks to those members who donated their
sporting guns and equipment on the day, especially the Glock Shop who
donated targets and ammunition. PS Thanks also to Darren Arthur who donated 2 very large boxes of huge lolly pops that each visitor received as a gift at the end of the day.
