BHSA ANNUAL MEETING NOVEMBER 14, 2009

In attendance: Rich Sieveke, Diane Sieveke, Dave Fletcher, Flo Fletcher, Greg Iverson, Jerry Penwell, Jerome Bisler, Ray Ruff, Kristi Ruff, Tom Hanson, Rod Huber, Joyce Huber, Darcy Szymanski, Dean Szymanski, Mark Latsa.

Meeting was called to order at 7 pm by President Rich Sieveke. As a year in review, Rich stated that the 1880 train robberies and bank robbery all went very well. Our September Invitational did not go as well as hoped. We did not get any out of state applications for the 2nd year and a small showing from our members. Then, we had the rain and fog which caused the cancellation of Day 2 so only the first 5 stages were shot.

NEW BUSINESS
Due to the resignation of Brent White as Territorial Governor which he sent last week, we do not have any position that needs to be voted on. A motion was made by Dave Fletcher, 2nd by Greg Iverson and motion passed by majority vote, to accept the ballot for election of officers.

INVITATIONAL
A discussion was held whether to continue the September Invitational. Rich made a suggestion, that until the economy changes and shootist are more able to travel to our shoot, that we change the Invitational to a 2 day fun shoot for our members. A discussion was held as to what we could have for shooting stages and Rich stated we can set it up however we wanted. It can include short and long range stages. A discussion was held as to the fees for this weekend. It was decided that a $5.00 lunch fee each day would be included with the entry fee. The evening dinner would be paid by each member. That way you can order whatever you wanted. If you want Prime Rib or a hamburger, order what you want and not be locked into a specific meal. It was decided that $40.00 for the 2 day fun shoot including lunches both days was reasonable.

LUNCHES
A discussion was held in regards to the donation for lunches at the shoot. There has been very little money donated for the lunches. Most of the time less than $10.00 for all the people that eat and the amount of food available. The discussion was held to not have any lunch vs. raising the shooting fees to help defer the cost of lunch. It was decided not to raise shooting fees but that the cost of lunch would be $5.00 not donation. It will be in the newsletter so everyone will know what will be served.

MARCH SOCIAL
Our Social will be held March 6th at the American Legion Hall in Piedmont. A discussion was held regarding dinner for that night and beef and turkey with all the trimmings was decided on.

Tom Hanson agreed to be chairman for the games. We will have 5-6 games. Farroh - Greg, Black Jack - Dave F. , Bean Bag - Mark L., Super Wheel, Wheel of Fortune - Rich, Deer Darts - Ray and Travis Ruff. We need to check if the shooting gallery is in working order. It is currently at Dave Burris house and he was not in attendance. Prizes for the games should be between $40-50.00. Try and get donations, if not the club will reimburse for any prizes. Ray will donate prizes for the kids games. Joyce and Rod also will donate a prize. Rich has someone lined up to take OLD TIME PHOTOS at the Social. Jim Carpenter has agreed to take the photos. We will have the silent auction again. These items need to be new, can be donated by business or homemade crafts items. This can range from movie night baskets with a movie and popcorn etc. to Death by Chocolate filled with all kinds of chocolate. Use your imagination and come up with some ingenious ideas. We will have a live auction and these items can be anything as long as it is in good shape. We can also add donated items we receive for this auction. We still need cowboy boots for centerpieces.

SERVING BREAKFAST AT AMERICAN LEGION ON NOVEMBER 22ND.
Diane has contacted radio stations to advertise that we are serving breakfast. Diane and Joyce handed out flyers to business in the area. Anyone who wants a flyer can take one and place it in a business. Joyce will make signs to put up. The breakfast will be served from 8-1 pm. We need to be at the hall at 7 am. Tell all your family and friends to come for breakfast. REMEMBER TO DRESS IN YOUR COWBOY ATTIRE.

Shoot tomorrow. No shoot in December. January’s shoot will be our chili feed. A motion was made, 2nd and passed by majority to adjourn the meeting. HAPPY HOLIDAYS - SEE EVERYONE IN 2010. Minutes submitted by Secretary Flo Fletcher

BLACK HILLS SHOOTIST ASSOCIATION
SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER MINUTES

Well our Dakota Territory Gold Rush shoot was a wet one. The meeting on Saturday, Sept. 12 was called to order by President Hawkbill Smith. Badlands Dave was introduced as Match Director. The group was divided into 2 posses. The first 5 stages would be shot the first day, and 6-10 on Sunday. Big Louie, the Safety Officer, gave a short safety briefing. The scorekeepers were introduced and were asked to turn in the scores after each station was finished. Diane reminded everyone that Happy Hour started at 5pm and dinner at 6pm at the Hitching Post in Pringle. We started our day with hopes that the rain would hold off, but after the first 2 stages, Badlands Dave was scurrying to put up some cover that the posses could put their gun carts under. The day finished with everyone soggy but still on good spirits. We were not able to utilize our great patio area as everyone huddled under the canopy to stay dry. We had a great dinner at the Hitching Post. The next morning we woke to still more rain. We postponed the start for an hour to see if the weather would calm down. We would have continued in the rain, but the fog rolled in and we were not able to see the targets, so the decision was made to call the shoot. We used the scores from Saturday. I very quickly got the scores totaled (the CD took a hike during this time and everything had to be done by hand). The awards were handed out and everyone loaded their trucks/cars and left. In the aftermath, the scores were left in the camper so that is why they were not posted before today. Here are the scores:

Senior:
1st Big Louie - 318.57
2nd Horsecreek Jerry 335.31

Rich made mention that the train robberies went well this year. The scenarios were more realistic and fun to do. It was to bad the last train robbery of the year was cancelled due to the train being derailed. Diane had information about the Holiday Train for families.

Greg stated that the club was given a 14x70 trailer. It has a stove, refrigerator and propane heater. We need a way to get it moved to the range. Diane said we should check with the landlord to see if it is ok. Greg will check some moving agencies to find out cost of moving it from Sturgis to the range.
