Gregg Simon brought up the old webpage we were currently paying 100$ plus for and getting only one update per year. motion was raised and passed to dicontinue the piad webpage and continue with this blog as our oficial internet presence. Mark LeFebre proposed the adition of an open class shoot to be held concurrently with scheduled military and/or lever action shoots. there was some discussion on this and it was accepted.
