Evans City Sportsmen’s Club November Newsletter Update
Please remember that you are NOT permitted to shoot shotgun rounds at the snow fence target backing. And members are ONLY permitted to use shotgun in Bay 2.
It should be quite obvious, but shooting shotgun rounds at the snow fence knowing it will be destroyed, is unacceptable.
This is considered damaging club property and disciplinary action on your membership may be taken. Members are only permitted to use shotgun in Pistol Bay 2 BUT ONLY AT THE STANDALONE TARGET STANDS PROVIDED! (shown with arrow in picture below). There is plenty of cardboard backing for the 2 target stands in the shed at Bay 1.
Remember the cameras are watching, always!
Also DO NOT PLACE TARGETS ON THE WOODEN FRAME OF THE BACKSTOPS AT EITHER THE PISTOL OR RIFLE RANGE! This is also considered damaging club property and will not be tolerated. (picture also shown below.)
Please respect the club grounds, volunteers work extremely hard to keep the ranges in working order for everyone and any unnecessary repairs cost the volunteers and the club money.
As always, any questions, please contact us here.
Thank you

Building Project
The building project has officially kicked off with our contractor now on-site starting their work. And while we’re all excited about the project, what’s being done, and what and when the finished product be, please give these men a wide berth and don’t disrupt their efforts. They’ve advised the board that a number of members have “stopped in” to “check things out”, ask questions, and “give advice”. So, while enthusiasm is appreciated, disruptions slow progress and entering an active workspace raises safety concerns.
We promise that we’ll open the doors to the new building and celebrate as soon as possible. And maybe we’ll be able to post some photos in future updates to show how things are coming along inside the building.
RAFFLE TICKETS!

Good luck!
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.
With increased activity at the Club and on our ranges.
This is a great time to familiarize yourself with the ECSC Standard Operating Procedures, “SOP” located on our new website.
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.
And speaking of increased activity at the Club, the following is worth repeating:
The maximum number of guests that a member may host at the Club for any one session is TWO.
The maximum number of times that a particular guest may visit the Club in a calendar year is TWO. After that, they must apply for membership and can only use Club facilities again after being accepted and processed through for orientation and payment processing.
*If you observe any unsafe behavior or damage to club property, please collect relevant details in a safe manner. Such as the date, time and location of the incident, descriptions and number of individuals involved, photographs, vehicle make and model, and license plate numbers.
Submit this information via our contact page HERE so that the board may appropriately address the situation. Such conduct is unacceptable, and individuals involved may be denied membership or access to the Club.
