You bet.  I'd really like to see some pistol bays at Ikes.  There's only so much you can do on a static line.

A small group of us went to the meeting tonight.  I was pleased when Ray Rowen stated that he "got a lot of emails about this".  Thanks to everyone who sent an email.  If you have not had a chance, please send the board an email expressing your support.  We knew the decision was not going to be made tonight, so you still have plenty of time to make an impression.  There are several hurdles to overcome including, though not limited to, cost/revenue analysis, engineering the pistol bay construction & location, noise concerns, and a board of directors whose shooting passions range from high power rifle to trap, but only a few who find any value in action shooting disciplines. 

They made a motion that a cost/analysis be done before they proceed.  This is a very understandable and necessary first step for the board to make an informed decision.  However, in the world of business and government, this is also one possible play in the playbook to kill a plan.  Honestly I'm not sure what the motivation of the motion was, but they did admit that this was not their normal practice, though maybe it should be. 

Good thing for us is that Sean is a Controller at a non-profit, so he will have no problem putting together a detailed analysis.  Hopefully those will impress them enough that we will get the majority vote to proceed.
