What’s New?
The Board of Directors has set some goals for our club to reach this year and decided on some events that we should
start planning now. We need members to step forward and volunteer to be the chairperson for each of these events.
Even if you don’t want to / can’t be the chair, join the committee this year and maybe next year you will be ready with
your own ideas to be the chair. As a chairperson you are not alone unless you choose to be. The Board is available to
give guidance, as well as those who have attended and chaired the event in the past. We will also be setting up some
work days to do some maintenance on the clubhouse. There will be many opportunities to get your work hours in for
2009.

Presidents Editorial
2008 proved to be both challenging yet productive. The Sheriff got “stonewalled” by the Public Works department
and the joint range project is on indefinite hold. It’s hard for me to believe that some of our County leaders are so
short sighted that they don’t see the value in a firearms training facility for our local law enforcement. As a former L.E.
Firearms Instructor I see this as ludicrous! Your Board of Directors will continue to pursue private property for a
range and include the Sheriff in the development so their needs will be met as well as ours.
Our membership grew and so did our finances. Thanks in part to our Open House and other public events. The Gun
Raffles prove to be productive as well. We will continue both in 2009.
There were 20 new NRA Range Safety Officers trained that will be valuable assets as we provide more public access
to range activities. This year we plan to have two additional events open to the public. Along with that we are also
training 10 more RSOs.
Thanks to John Edwards we are closer than even in obtaining our 501C-3 Tax Exempt status. John brought previous
experience and a renewed focus. (501C-3 allows donations to the club to be tax exempt) Our By-Laws, Standing
Rules and Business Plan have all been updated as a well.
An area of concern for 2009 will be a new look at responsible lead management at our indoor range. Please be patient
as this gets rolled out. Your club wants you to have a safe and healthy shooting experience.
The 2009 MCSA Board of Directors and Trustees is more focused than even in seeking out and meeting the needs of
this membership. Each member has brought special skills and determination to get us through these difficult times. If in
doubt please feel free to attend the BOD Meetings you’ll be proud!
General News:
The RSO (Range Safety Officer) training class is full, it will be held on Feb. 14, 2009 at Rooster's restaurant at 3001
Olympic Hwy. North in Shelton. The class will start at 10:00AM and run to 3:00PM with a one hour lunch break at
noon. The instructor does not anticipate the course filling the whole 4 hours allotted. Students will be notified as soon
as the study material is available. If you have any questions please contact Steve Worthington at 360-426-6486
Tuesday-Saturday 9-5.
Looking for a few good people:
The first Hunter’s Education course of 2009 will begin on March 10. If you would like to help with this class or attend
one of the classes, please contact Steve Mutoli at 360-426-6869. This would be a great opportunity to get some
volunteer hours for 2009, and Steve could really use the help.
We would like to have a volunteer to perform some house cleaning on the range. This would include cleaning the
bathrooms, sweeping/mopping the front meeting room, dusting the front meeting room, cleaning the sink area, etc. This
would be a great way to get your hours in toward your working membership. It is possible to share these duties with
another member, as long as the tasks get done on a regular basis. Contact Jack Fitch at 360-426-6251.
Fund raising:
If you have an idea for fund raising please bring it to the Board. We have maintenance that needs to be done on the
clubhouse and we are trying to build our building fund for our future outdoor range.
We have a new raffle, it will be held at the June 3rd General Meeting. It is for not open for club members so they can
only be sold to non-members and tickets are being sold for $2.00 each. The item is a Ruger 10/22 Heavy Stainless
Barrel. We made a little over $900.00 on the last raffle. Get your tickets and sell them to all your friends!
Match Report:
PPC matches began their second half on January 6, 2009. They begin at 5:30 p.m. and end when everyone has shot,
usually between 7:30 and 8:00. They have been at the range as late as 9:00 when lots of shooters showed up to join in
on the fun. If you cannot make it by 5:30, you would still be able to participate if you arrive as late as 6:30 p.m. We
have been having about 8 to 10 shooters in attendance with about half of those shooting both semi-auto and revolver.
We do have two regular ladies with two to three showing up occasionally. All are welcome to come shoot and are
encourage to come no matter what your skill level. Don’t let the timer intimidate you or the word competition, the
times are generous and the stages are simple. You will need your semi-auto pistol and/or revolver (you are welcome to
shoot both), holster, “eyes”, “ears”, and 60 rounds of ammunition for each firearm. These matches are shot in 4 or 5
stages at varying distances and are timed generously.
Bullseye matches are at 5:30 p.m. on Thursdays. You will need your .22 semi-automatic or revolver, “eyes”, “ears”,
and 60 rounds of ammunition. These matches are shot at the 50 ft line.
Steel matches are held the second Sunday of the month with set-up at 9:00 a.m. and the match begins at 10:00 a.m..
There are varying steel targets and each stage is timed. You will need your semi-auto pistol or revolver, holster,
“eyes”, “ears”, and at least 100 rounds of ammunition.
IPSC matches run year round and are held on the first Sunday of every month at 8:00 a.m.. If you are interested you
will need your semi-auto pistol or revolver, holster, “eyes”, “ears”, and at least 60 rounds of ammunition. Please call
Bruce Bennet for particulars and to see about assisting on setting up the range on the Saturday evening before the
matches. This is a good time to get in some volunteer hours.
The 1st Annual Civil War Match, North (WA.) VS South (OR.) is being held on May 30 and 31, 2009. Bruce
Bennett is heading up the Northern aggressors. This match is being held at the Albany Rifle and Pistol Club in Albany
OR. We (Washington) need all USPSA "style" shooters to attend. Even if you have never shot this kind of match
before, we need you, yes, even the round gun shooters (revolvers). Please contact either Bruce Bennett or Scott
Hawkins for more information. Remember history?... The north always wins but "The South is vowing to rise again!"
We must muster a strong showing to put the South back in its rightful place.
Feature Article:
By Jennie Van Tuyl, lead management program chair
I thought that since we are coming up on having some new procedures on the range for our lead management program
that I would share with you some of the basic information about why we need to think about this issue. Once we have
our indoor range squared away the committee plans to pro-actively develop and implement an Environmental
Stewardship plan for our proposed outdoor range. There are programs that aid ranges in developing lead management
programs that make it safer for humans and wildlife and keep those ranges open, such as NRA, NASR, EPA. These
institutions offer informational books and sample program documents to help ranges with their lead management
programs. It will be very important that we have a lead management system in place and follow it when we are able to
get another outdoor range. If we can start with policing ourselves on the indoor range, it will be easier to police
ourselves outdoors before some agency polices us.
First, here is some basic information on how we get lead on our range. When the trigger is pulled and the primer is
struck, lead compounds become airborne as gas and particulate. While there are lead free primers, they are expensive
and not easily obtained. When the primer lights the powder heat builds up within the cartridge case to 2000 degrees
Fahrenheit (this happens whether you have a light load or a full load and must happen or the projectile will not be
expelled) and causes the base of the projectile to vaporize and this lead vapor enters the air around the shooter. After
the heat and fire build up inside the case the pressure sends the projectile out through the barrel. At this moment
friction between the bore and the all lead projectile causes vaporization and microscopic fragmentation, this also enters
the air around the shooter. The projectile then ends up down range hitting the backstop. In our case we have a smash
plate backstop which causes fragmentation. Just a note, the vaporization of the surface of an all-lead projectile is much
greater than an encapsulated or jacketed one. Vaporization is almost completely non-existent with copper
encapsulated bullets because the lead is not as accessible; but only reduced with jacketed bullets because the base of
the lead bullet is open.
Why do we care about all this? First, we need to look at lead; there are two kinds of lead:
Metallic: (not easily absorbed into the bloodstream) which comes from bullets and airborne lead, vaporized lead, and
lead dust
Lead compounds: (easily absorbed into the blood stream) which come from primers and metabolized metallic lead.
The metallic lead that is not easily absorbed into our blood can enter our bodies by inhaling the lead vapor and
microscopic fragments from firing a projectile down range, by inhaling the lead dust while sweeping the floor, or by
ingestion by eating, drinking, or smoking before washing your hands and face. Once this lead compound is ingested
our bodies metabolize or break it down into lead compounds that easily enter the bloodstream and that is lead
poisoning.
Some of the results of lead poisoning are damage to the brain, nerves, kidneys, red blood cells, bones and
reproductive system. Lead poisoning can be either acute (sudden) or gradual. Blood tests are performed to determine
the level of lead in the bloodstream. If a high blood level is found there are treatments and procedures that help get rid
of the lead. However, when the high level is found, this triggers an investigation into how the poisoning happened,
especially when the patient is a child.
Some very basic things we can do to prevent lead poisoning is to make sure all three fans are running while shooting.
There must be sufficient air moving past the shooter to keep the vapors and fragments moving down range. We can
make sure there is no food or drink on the range. The lead dust can settle on the surface of food and drink and
become ingested. We can make sure that smokers who have their cigarettes in an open pocket put them away
because the lead dust can settle on the filter and become ingested. We can make sure that we wash our face and
hands. While we cannot absorb lead through our skin, we can touch eyes and mouth and ingest lead. Lastly, we can
be aware that our clothes and shoes have lead particles on them and those particles may end up in our cars and our
homes. One story I read was about a young child found to have high blood lead levels and it was traced to her father
bringing the lead home on his shoes and she would play with his shoes.
There are range cleanup procedures that will be implemented and explained once they are finalized. While these
procedures will not yet be mandatory, they will be highly recommended. We are all adults, responsible for our own
health. Let’s make sure nobody gets sick, especially the children who come to our range, and keep the government
agencies from causing us trouble.
