**Welcome to the May Newsletter**

We had a great turnout on Saturday at the April Match, but Sunday, being Easter, only had one shooter show up!!!   The weather was wonderful but the Sunday holiday cut the number of attendees.

 

REMINDER!

Due to Mother’s Day this coming Sunday, May 14th, the Sunday (only) portion of the two-day match will be cancelled.  As mentioned in the prior email notification about the cancellation, the club range will be open on Sunday, May 14th for those who are cleared to shoot on non-match Sundays.  Check-in protocol must be followed.

**LASC’s April 28, 29 and 30 Regional Lever-Action Rifle Silhouette Match**

 

LASC’S Regional Lever-Action Match was a shooting success!  We have so many people to thank who made the event possible.  But here’s a shout out to just a few:

 

Dennis Ostler, who coordinated the match, kept the scores each day, did the daily awards, helped others shoot and photographed the event.  To see pictures of the event, click on the link below.

 

Gordon Hull, who spent the entire prior week at LASC on property, welding and getting our targets ready, cleaning the range and anything else to help LASC get look its best.  He also called the line during the match.

 

Jerry Napier and Joe Cadenas, who did the major work in prepping the range, the club, and keeping everything running smoothly, including the target setters (who did a terrific job and kept the shooters happy).

 

Ruby Cadenas who tracked all the attendees and payments, Joel Mosher who called the line, Jeanette and Courtney and the kitchen crew who kept the food coming and shooters well fed.  Forgive me if I have missed a few, but a BIG LASC “THANK YOU” to all those who made our match a success!

***ANNOUNCEMENTS***

**Jim Henry WILL be at LASC on Saturday.

 

**The EXTRAVAGANZA of Silhouette is coming up over Labor Day.  TIME TO GET YOUR GUNS READY and decide what you will shoot.  All the guns you can shoot over the three-day event.  Plan to come out, camp, stay and play.**

 

**IMPORTANT - LASC MEMBERS WHO SHOOT ON SUNDAYS:  ASR is noticing that some members who are cleared to shoot at LASC on open Sundays, are not stopping at the ASR office (if the ASR office trailer is locked, you must then go to the main range office), checking in, signing the release form and paying the $7 ASR fee.  All those going to LASC on the non-match Sundays must follow that procedure prior to going on up to club’s range.  ASR is aware of those violating the protocol because the staff checks LASC on Sundays, and has asked that we inform club members that this should not be happening and must be corrected immediately.

 

 

**OPEN FRIDAYS REMINDER:  LASC is open on two Fridays a month for sighting in and target practice for club members:  The Friday before the two-day Big Bore match and the Friday before the .22 match.  We encourage our members to come up and utilize the range at this time so we can demonstrate to ASR that the club members benefit and use those two open practice days.  

 

If you do come to LASC on an open Friday, you must first register at the ASR office, sign the release form, and, if not a shareholder, pay the required $7 ASR fee for shooting at LASC.  (Same protocol as open Sundays.)

 

 

**WORK PARTY “THANK YOU’s**
To all the club members and shooters who came out on Saturday before the two-day match to help clean up the range and get it ready for the Big Bore weekend, a BIG LASC THANK YOU!  REMEMBER:  When you attend a work party, you can stay afterward and practice.

Jerry Napier
Joe Cadenas
Mark Woss

 

(For this work party only three came out to assist!)

DENNIS “MOOSE” EDWARDS

 

A REMINDER to save the date of July 15th to pay our respects to our fellow LASC shooter,  Moose.

 

Ms. Lee Edwards (Moose’s wife) will have a celebration of Moose’s life on JULY 15th in the afternoon at the DeBell Golf Course in Burbank.  The time has yet to be announced.  The DeBell Golf Course is on the hillside in Burbank, near the Castaway Restaurant.

Now, for what we found in the women’s restroom when the weeds on the firing line had been freshly cut and the door to the restroom was left propped open.

 

A nesting female made a lovely nest just behind the toilet paper role in the holder.  When so much available fresh-cut grass, there was ample material to make a perfect little comfy place to hold eggs behind the toilet role.  But, no eggs yet, thankfully.  When we opened the front of the paper holder, the second picture is what it looked like from the inside. Very well crafted in a short time for a determined bird.  Needless to say, there was grass and straw and pieces of paper all on the floor.  Sadly she had to be evicted and the restroom door remained closed.  I trust she found a more suitable external place for her nest.
