Membership
It has been brought to our attention that binary triggers have
been used on our rifle/pistol range. The Directors addressed this
issue on 12/12/2018 at the monthly Board of Directors and
Membership meeting. It was the consensus of the Board that this
type of trigger falls under the fol-lowing rule: “CCFSA does not
allow any device or modification that allows one to simulate
'automatic fire', including, but not limited to, 'bump fire',
'slide fire', etc."
Therefore, use of Binary Triggers will NOT be allowed on CCFSA
ri-fle/pistol range unless the following has been complied with: If
the binary trigger has a selector switch that allows you to use it
in standard semi-automatic mode, that selector switch is set to
semi-automatic mode and shot in semi-automatic mode where one shot
is fired with the pull of the trigger and there is NOT a shot fired
on release of the trigger, it will be al-lowed.
From the rule book.
Range Restrictions CCFSA does allow automatic (Class III)
firearms to be fired as long as they are fired in semi-automatic
mode (one round is fired for one pull of the trigger.) No two,
three, or more round burst for one pull of the trig-ger may be
fired. CCFSA does not allow any device or modification that al-lows
one to simulate 'automatic fire', including, but not limited to;
'bump fire', 'slide fire', etc."
If you have any questions, please let us know. CCFSA Board of
Directors.

CCFSA 2019 SPONSORSHIP MESSAGE
Hello all! Cooler weather is knocking at the door and I hope you
all have your ammo loaded and ready to take full advantage of the
club facilities! We have quite a few members who are “new blood”
and are bringing ide-as which have already proven to generate more
interest and activities! We will now enjoy a 3 Gun STEEL SHOOT on
the 24th of September, 1:00 P.M. and with the recent purchase of
the 69 adjoining acres, a 500 yard range is in the not too distant
future! These things will bring more expo-sure and new members into
the fold as well as more exposure for our sponsors!
Kirk Colyer has been working tirelessly to entice the big
sponsors into the fold which has proven to be quite challenging due
to the differ-ent corporate levels these things must pass through,
yet he remains un-daunted. He’ll never give up!
Please continue to let us know of any potential businesses of
which you may be aware that will want to get in front of our 1000
plus mem-bers and their families and friends. We have sponsorships
at several lev-els starting at $100.00 per year for the newsletter
and website with links to the advertisers and they are affordable
for every business both large and small. E-mail me at
[email protected] or call me at 513-313-5436 with any interest,
requests for quotes/information on sponsorships or any suggestions.
We need to hear from YOU!
Thanks, and have a great hunting season! See you at the
range!
Dave, Sponsorship Chair

PLANNED CHANGES FOR SAFETY PROCEDURES
Based on observations and discussion by members of the Safety,
Shotgun, Archery, and Conservation Committees, a few changes are
planned to be implemented at CCFSA. Once these proposed changes
have been worked-out and put into place, additional information
will be provid-ed.
All activities on the Clubhouse side of the road will require
sign-in at the Clubhouse. A single sign-in book will be accessible
near the Clubhouse and other sign-in books on that side of the road
will be removed. This ap-plies to all Shotgun and Archery
activities, as well as any activity using the ponds, woods/trails,
and campground/picnic area. Please remember to sign-in before any
activity is started. The sign-in procedure for the Rifle &
Pistol Range will remain the same.
An improved safety procedure for opening the Shotgun Range is
al-so being planned. The improved procedure will include a warning
system before live-firing commences.
In addition to the planned changes mentioned above, please
re-member these current club Safety Policies:
Any time there is a 3D Archery Event in progress, ALL shotgun
rang-es and ponds are closed. These events are routinely held on
the First Sat-urday of each month. Additional 3D Archery Events
will be posted on the CCFSA Calendar.
Any time the Shotgun Range is operating, ALL pond and woods
ac-tivities are closed. The Shotgun Range is typically operated on
Wednesday afternoon/evening and Sunday morning/afternoon, but may
be in opera-tion during additional days/times as needed.
For additional information, please contact the appropriate CCFSA
Committee.

The East Clinton High School Skeet Team competed on the club shotgun
range this past Spring in the

inaugural year. Bruce Warren served as team coach.
Bruce is a CCFSA Life Member
and American

Bruce has many years of
shooting and coaching
experience. Historically, he has served as Lead Advisor for the Clinton County On
Target 4‐H Club, which he formed
and advised
for over 11 years. He has also coached at the CCFSA Summer Shotgun Camp for several years. In addition to being a CCFSA Life Member and Certified RSO, Bruce
is also a Life Member of
the NRA, NMLRA

Team activities commenced mid‐March
and the league was completed at
the end of May. Practice and
league shoots were held at the CCFSA Shotgun Range on Thursday evenings and Sunday mornings. All scores were submitted to the Ohio State High School Clay Target League for evaluation and ranking against other teams in the state.
Each student shooter was required
to complete a SAFE training
course or Hunter’s Safety Education
Course. Prior to shooting, team
members also received CCFSA specific
training. Several of the participants have also become Junior Members at CCFSA.
