End of the year message from Tim Green and the Board of Directors
As we approach the upcoming Holiday season, I am reminded of the many things we can be thankful for.
Our club has done extremely well in maintaining and improving our facilities for the enjoyment of our members, making excellent progress towards completing the new club house, offering a weekly “open range” trap shooting experience for our members and the general public, successfully offering state-of-the-art firearms training classes for hundreds of people, opening our ranges for our local police and security forces to maintain and sharpen their skills, and once again, enjoying another championship year of youth trap shooting competition for our team.
As we look forward to the coming year, we have room to grow and expand upon our successes. The Board of Directors are prepared to do whatever is needed to reinvigorate an ARCHERY CLUB activity for the benefit of all our members. Additionally, as we make the transition to the new clubhouse, there is a rare opportunity to convert the current clubhouse building into an indoor shooting range for archery events. We are asking those with the expertise and motivation to come forward and shape a new start in this challenging and rewarding sport. We will initiate a planning committee activity during January and need your time, expertise, and ideas to make this happen.
Additionally, we anticipate the new club house will be fully operational in the coming months and will offer our members a new space to use for events. The Board of Director’s wish to reestablish the EVENTS COMMITTEE. We seek volunteers to shape the way ahead and determine which fun activities we should do for our membership for the coming year.
I hope to hear from you about the archery club, the events committee, and/or any other ideas that you have about the club.
In closing, we wish each of you a safe and joyous Holiday season.
See you at the range.

We have seen and increasingly high number of cigarette butts littered on the pistol range bays. Please have some respect for those who volunteer their limited spare time to ensure our ranges are clean and safe for each and every member of our club to use. Clean up your mess and please don’t litter on our range. The club ranges are not your ashtray!

This is a great time to familiarize yourself with the ECSC Standard Operating Procedures, “SOP” located on our new website at ecsportsmens.com
The SOP is updated from time to time to keep current with upgrades to our facilities and address safety protocols that’ve become apparent and necessary to keep our members, families and guests safe, as well as to ensure our members are receiving maximum value from their memberships. Failure to adhere to any of the SOP will result in membership disciplinary action.
