January News Letter
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
**DECEMBER TWO-DAY MATCH RESULTS and INFORMATION on the STATE CHAMPIONSHIP RETURNING TO LASC in 2024 - SEE BELOW**
Well, so far the weather looks like will be a bit chilly for the upcoming two-day event. Not as cold as the picture above, but you might want to bring enough additional layers (think jackets) so you can bundle up and adjust as needed on the firing line. At this time, there is no rain in the forecast, but that could change. Since daylight hours are now shorter, we suggest you get to LASC early to allow you to shoot as many cards as you can.
Each card helps support LASC.
*********
CHRISTMAS LUNCH THANK YOUs: We want to thank JR, Jeannette, Courtney and all those who helped make our Christmas Lunch a delightful and wonderful meal for the holiday season. Thank you all, so much! You brought a lot of smiles to shooters faces as well as the LASC crew and target setters.
*********
**Jim Henry SHOULD be at LASC on Saturday, January 13th, weather permitting - some forecasts hint at rain. If you need any guns attended to, now is the time to connect with him. AND, don’t forget about getting your firearms ready now for the state match in May to avoid the rush.**
*********
Lost and Found:Found on the firing line: X-Large dark grey pull over sweat shirt with a hood. It’s been in the office a little while, so if you are missing one, check with Jerry Napier.
*********
THE FOLLOWING IS WORTH REPEATING:
THREE IMPORTANT POINTS ABOUT COMPLETING SCORE CARDS:
1. SCORE RANKINGS:
Since there are no more NRA scorebooks, shooters may not know their score class rank (e.g., Master, AAA or other class). A shooter can ask others if they have an old NRA scorebook in which to check. At the match we are going to try and post the Score/Class breakdown of each discipline. REMINDER: You do need to circle your rank on your score card.
2. SHOOTING A “RERUN”
If you shoot the same discipline a second time in one competition, please mark your second score card “RERUN.” Only the first run-through will be considered for your score, but the “rerun” will be noted on the match results.
3. COMPLETING A SCORE CARD
Please fully complete your score cards when you turn them in. Some get turned in with missing dates, gun make and caliber, class and discipline. You may omit your address, but we do need the rest of the information to accurately record your competition.
********
**LASC NEEDS CLUB MEMBER’S HELP FOR TWO EVENTS!**
1. We will be setting up the range Friday morning January 12th at 9AM. If you are able, please come help as we set up the range for the competition. Shooters assisting may stay and practice.
2. As you know, LASC will be hosting the state match on Memorial Day Weekend. IF you are not shooting the match, we need club members to help during the match. If you are available, please let Jerry Napier know that you would be interested in assisting on the line, with check-ins, or other essential functions during the event.
*********
The instructions below have been in multiple newsletters, but we don’t want people to forget about LASC and ASR protocol.
**LASC MEMBERS WHO SHOOT ON OPEN NON-MATCH DAYS.
SUNDAYS: LASC club members cleared to shoot on non-match Sundays must stop at the ASR administration trailer or ASR range office prior to going on up to the club’s range. Each person must register at the office, complete the release form and, with the exception of shareholders, pay the $7 ASR fee. ASR is aware of those violating the protocol and has asked that we inform club members that this omission be corrected immediately.
**OPEN FRIDAYS: 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 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 the club members and shooters who came out on Saturday before the December two-day match to help clean up the range and get it ready for the Big Bore weekend, a BIG LASC THANK YOU from Jerry Napier to Joe Cadenas, Mark Woss, Joel Siegel, Jacques Rifkind and Jim Watson. REMEMBER: When you attend a work party, you may stay afterward and practice.
RETURNING TO LASC IN 2024 is the CRPA STATE LEVER-ACTION RIFLE SILOUETTE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH!
It’s only about four months away! Time to start practicing and getting your guns ready for this spectacular competition. We promise some great prizes, great food & great fun.

********
A Big “THANK YOU” to all those competitors who entered the event. We had quite a few shooters from out of state and others traveling down from Northern California. It was wonderful to see those friends who had attended in past years and the new shooters who ventured to LASC for the first time. We really hope to see you back at our Regional match in 2025 and the CA State Match when it returns to LASC in 2026. (More on the 2025 Regional Match in future newsletters…. it is held in April and is THE buildup to the CA State Match in 2025 which will be held at Hat Creek in northern California.) And, we always have LASC’s Extravaganza of Silhouette
over Labor Day weekend in a few months. One price buys you as many guns as you can shoot during the event.
*******
LASC - To those who make these events possible:
As with any big event, LASC has many who worked behind the scenes for the past many months to make this event possible.
LASC could not have done it without Jerry Napier and Joe Cadenas who made the LASC range and amenities what they are today. Since the fire in 2017, LASC has come a very long way and we are planning to continue improvements in the coming months.
Dennis Ostler, who as Match Director put the event together, oversaw the competitors and was the driving force in all the details that made the match a world-class event.
Ruby Cadenas who kept track of shooters checking in, lunches and all things in the office. Nora Ostler who helped in during shooter check in as well as assisted the kitchen crew with meals.
LASC’s delicious meals were done by our cooks and kitchen detail: Jerry, Jeannette, Courtney and Halee.
The firing line target setters—skillfully orchestrated by Joe— deserve a heap of smiles as they bounced in and out of bunkers during cease fires to keep the targets set for each bank of animals: Darlene, Justyn, Brianna, Jayden, Zach, Devon, Silas, Geo, Matthew, Daniel and Adrian.
Finally to those who called the line and kept the shooters and target setters safe: Bill, JR and Joel.
**MAY TWO-DAY MATCH RESULTS and OTHER NOTICES**
The May match was the last two-day match before the state championship. We had a smaller than anticipated turn out with the majority shooting lever-action rifle in anticipation of the championship match. All in all, the weather was great and we have more daylight to shoot in the afternoons now. Take advantage of the longer daylight hours for the next several months. And don’t forget, we have the Extravaganza coming up over the Labor Day holiday. Time to get your guns ready for that silhouette event.
*********
**Jim Henry WILL NOT BE AT LASC on Saturday, June 9th.**
*********
**WORK PARTY “THANK YOU’s”**
Normally, we have a group of LASC members turn out for the work party, but presumably confusion was created since it was Saturday, June 1 and not too far after the state match. Unfortunately only Jerry Napier and Joe Cadenas showed up to clear the berms. So, as a REMINDER, the next WORK PARTY WILL BE SATURDAY, July 6th at 9am.We really need membership to help get the range ready.

**IMPORTANT**
**LASC’s ANNUAL MEETING WILL BE
ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12th ABOUT
4PM OR SO (AFTER THE MATCH).**
We need members to attend so we have a quorum for the election of officers as well as the discussion about LASC membership costs, expenditures and conditions. Below are items which members need to weigh in on.
1. Fees will increase for annual membership. Proposed costs to be discussed and reviewed. There will be a tiered structure, and prices will increase effective January 1, 2025.
2. LASC requires all club members to full-fill their club obligations, which they committed to on their annual application. That is, each member, with some exceptions for age and distance, will be required to attend at least three matches a yearand do three work parties per year. If a member does NOT full-fill membership requirements, their range privileges on non-match days will be suspended until they meet the criteria. LASC has noticed that some members are not attending matches and only utilizing the club’s range as their private range on non-match days. LASC is a Silhouette Shooting Club and we must maintain our match attendance and the range facility.
We will be discussing how each member can track their club obligations and keep their membership current.
3. We will be electing officers and discussing other club business. If you are a member and have questions, comments, suggestions or want to hold an office, now is the time to bring that to the floor. (NOTE: If you choose to run for office, you must notify the club secretary, Joel Mosher, by September 1.)
DON’T MISS OUT. LASC needs to hear your voice.

A NEW SILHOUETTE DISCIPLINE IS
BEING DEVELOPED AT LASC!!!
As you may have noticed on the firing line, there has been some odd things going on. Shooters were asking questions…
LASC is working on benchrest shooting. It is still in the developmental phase, but looking very promising. Cross your fingers as we complete safety tests, and, if all goes well, finalize the installation of the benches. We could have this in place by the end of the year. And, yes, we are getting closer to making it happen!
