Jefferson County Drainage District No. 6 completed repairs to the bridge Tuesday, January 3, 2023.  Crews and equipment arrived around 8 AM and left 4 hours later.  Unfortunately, there was no access to the rifle ranges during this brief work period.  

We appreciate DD6 responding so quickly to remove the debris and repair the bridge.  Especially as this involved the New Year holiday weekend.  We also appreciate our member's patience and understanding.  

Recent rain events have resulted in damage to the bridge crossing the drainage ditch going to the rifle ranges.  All members are advised to take the necessary precautions when using the bridge crossing to prevent further damage to the bridge or to your vehicles.  

Jefferson County Drainage District No. 6 crews have been on site to clear debris and assess the damage.  We expect DD6 crews to return very soon to begin repairs. 

Until then, slowly and carefully cross the bridge and avoid the hole as seen in the photo below.  DO NOT CROSS IF THE BRIDGE IS COMPLETELY UNDER WATER DURING A RAIN EVENT!  

We will continue to advise members when repairs are being made and any impact that may have range access and use.  Be safe!

The Board of Directors has authorized a small team of hog eradication experts to hunt wild hogs on the range at various times of the day and night.  This team works under an approved range safety plan and carry a Letter of Authorization signed by the Club President.

These team members are the only ones authorized to hunt hogs with the goal of reducing the damage being done to the range and berms by wild hogs.  No other person, member, or guest is permitted to shoot hogs.  Any non-authorized person caught shooting hogs will loose their membership and be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Please join us on OCTOBER 8th for our GTGC WORK DAY.

Lunch will be provided.

UPDATE!  This project has been completed and the new road open for use by the membership.

The Board of Directors approved the construction of a 12' x 300' crushed concrete road down to the 200-yard target line on the rifle range at their May meeting.  The project also includes earthwork to reshape the surface between the 50 and 100-yard target lines to drain any standing water.

The construction work is scheduled to start Monday, June 6th, weather permitting.  Work is estimated to take 5-10 days.

The 100/200-yard rifle range will be closed to the membership during this time period when workers are on the range.

SHOULD I SHOOT: SIMPLIFIED DEADLY FORCE DECISION MAKING

In the U.S., there are several situations in which a person is justified in using force or deadly force. Come to this seminar and learn:

• The difference between "force" and "deadly force";
• When a person may use deadly force against another to protect themselves or a third person;
• Whether displaying a weapon constitutes the use of deadly force;

And much, much more…

Each of these U.S. LawShield educational events will be led by a local Independent Program Attorney who will guide attendees through Texas laws on self defense and how it affects them as responsible gun owners. A dedicated question-and-answer session with the attorney leading the event will follow every informational segment to ensure attendees get the answers they need from a reliable source.

Space is limited and will fill up quickly.  Don't wait or you will miss out on this great opportunity.  Click below to save your spot now!

We talk briefly about 'Range Etiquette' in our Member's Range Safety Orientation.  I recently came across this blog article that does an excellent job of expanding that topic whether at an indoor range, outdoor range, or on rural private/public land.
