mail out bills for annual dues. It is each member’s

responsibility to pay dues by the deadline. Dues may be

paid at the membership mee&ngs or by mailing a check to

the club PO Box.

• Membership Terminated: A member was observed

shoo&ng out beyond the firing line on the Upper Pistol

Range. This is a viola&on of the range rules which are

clearly posted at the range. The Board voted to

terminate membership of the individual.

• Thursday Open Shoots: Open shoots at the indoor

range have been added for the winter on Thursdays when

Director and Membership mee&ng do not occur. See the

club calendar for more informa&on.

• WPIAL Rifle Championship: The WPIAL championship

Details of the membership applica&on process should be

• Entry Gate: Maintenance was performed on the entry

gate recently. Please no&fy George Taylor if the gate

does not automa&cally close behind you.

• Safety and Emergency Response at DMSC

The Board met with local emergency responders in

2014 and has taken steps to implement their

sugges&ons to improve our emergency preparedness.

A new sensor was added to the entry gate to allow

police, EMS, and the fire department access to the

club without having to use a normal gate pass.

A defibrillator (AED) was purchased by the club and

placed in the hallway near the bathrooms in the

clubhouse. An instruc&onal video on how to use the

AED can be found here:

A first aid kit and a telephone are also located in the

hallway near the bathrooms in the event of an

Last night your Dormont-Mt. Lebanon rifle team fired one of the be5er scores of the season in a 1483-1436 win over

visi&ng Murrysville. At the half-way point we are 8-2 and currently in second place in the Pi5sburgh & Suburban Rifle

League behind 9-1 Frazier-Simplex. We s&ll control our own des&ny as we have two more head-to-head matches with

Frazier.

Congratula&ons to Amy Smith, firing her league-leading fourth 300 of the season! Congratula&ons also to Rick Janoski,

con&nuing to crank out good scores on very li5le prac&ce. And congrats to all of our fine kneeling shooters: Bob, Miles,

Ma5, Tom G & company… it’s nice to see five 100’s on the score sheet!

This Sunday we will prac&ce star&ng around 6:00 pm or so. We’ll have a couple of prospec&ve new shooters vising; Pat

Felton and his daughter Haley, who are both interested in learning how to shoot smallbore.

Next week our three-match home stand con&nues with Irwin coming for a visit. We need to make sure that we avenge

our season-opening home loss to them!

Good shoo&ng everyone!
