Donation complete.

And I'm game for even just grilled burgers and a shoot contest, rain (more likely snow) or shine!

Think someone could score a couple of hogs out of Pennsylvania? :fearscream:

Well it seems that one of the parties that is causing us issues commented on the go fund me page link that my gun dealer shared on her Facebook page. She has since deleted it.

The comment was along these lines:
“Go fund me pages r for people in need not for ur pleasure”

We still need help getting the word out and donations to come in. Ideally finding 2500 people across the web to donate 10 bucks to the club would be perfect. I know we don’t live in a perfect world and all help is appreciated.

We have a 400 yard range complex and are wanting to extend it to 500 yards with a 600 yard safety berm. Well the neighbors are threatening to get a lawyer to stop us. I may have to start a go fund me page to help out with the legal fees should they convince a judge to stop us.

why is there a judge there to block you ??

did you (the club ) go to the town clerk with your plans ?? we what to do this .. ?? what do we need to do ... if so ..

yep .. you all did
"We have had the DEC (we invited them) out to the property to review what we want to do. They have no issues with it. We contacted the planning board and asked if there were any restrictions on our plans, there are not. So we are proceeding with our plans. We expect to get hit with a bunch of complaints as soon as the Dozer shows up on the land. "

hope you have it documented .. if not go back and get it done .. if yes then ..

FK them neighbors .. there fight is with the town and not you (the club) ..


is the range open to the public .. don't have to be a member to come and shoot kinda thing .. DEC offers a GRANT to help pay for Range upgrades ..
last i knew its was like 50/50 .. you spend 5K , they kick in 5K ..

Not open to the public for DEC purposes they require a free weekend a month for those type of grants.

@Acer-m14 Just a ? Are you talking about a club or your own private property? My Club operates under a usage permit from the town and is regulated as so.

the club .. if i had a "you" in there it was in reference to "the club"

the club i shoot at had to get a waiver and other stuff since a part of the club is in the village limits ... since you can't shoot with in the village ..

so if any neighbor has a problem with the club .. go see the town .. were in compliance with the town ... till they tell us ( the club ) otherwise ..

Hello everyone thanks for your support. The good news is the neighbors and the club have put down the war clubs and are settling our differences in peace. I had a go fund me page set up and I have since taken it down and asked them to issue all the donors full refunds. Since we didn't need the funds to fight a legal battle I feel it is only right to give the people back their money.


Thanks once again
Michael

Great news and in my opinion you are doing the honorable thing by giving the money back to the donors. Bravo Mike !
