Photo ID Badges are Coming for Club Members - NEW DATES

Photo Workshops - Friday, May 13th 8:00am - noon & Saturday, May 14th 2:00pm - 4:00pm

Members,

Four corners Rod & gun club will be implementing picture badges and eliminating the paper badge you have received in past years.  Why are we changing to picture id cards? To save money and tighten our security around the club.  The cost to produce the paper badges in the past was costing the club $3,000.00 per year. So, we are looking forward to the cost savings, so we can use that money towards improving our club in other ways.  Our goal is to have every member with picture ID by renewal deadline 2023.

Here is how we are going to transition and achieve this goal.

Over the next 12 months, we are going to print your picture on your current gate cards. We will be setting up monthly workshops for members and associate member spouses to come to the club and get their picture taken.  Any members with children associates will not need a picture gate card for their children, they will receive a standard card.  Over the next 12 months, we will post on the Four Corners Rod and Gun Club monthly electronic newsletter, the FCRGC web page, www.fourcornersgunclub.com, / www.fcgc.info, along with informational posters on the short range, indicating the dates and times of the workshops, so you can come to the club and get your gate card changed to a picture ID badge.

  Any questions Please email: secretary@fcgc.info

Respectfully,

David Kopecky

Secretary Four Corners Rod & Gun Club

Passing of Club Member Bob Stout

We received word that Four Corners member #4 Bob Stout, also known as “Pony Bob” passed on Sunday the 10th of April.   Bob Stout was one the founding members of Four Corner’s Rod and Gun Club and Willamette Long rifle’s (WLR) muzzleloader club.

For several decades, Pony Bob was well known as “the best” across the Pacific Northwest’s muzzleloader community, he won more matches and mountain man of the year awards than any Buckskinner we knew!

Bob was always humble about his winning skills, he would often say that he just got lucky, and give you an encouraging word that your turn at luck would be next. In 1989 Pony Bob won the 1st annual WLR Bull of the Woods trophy, a rifle, pistol, shotgun and hawk and knife aggregate score competition, and then won it 9 more times, more than any other person to date. Bob was also the expert when you needed advice for repairs on a muzzleloader, he built several of his own rifles in his well-stocked shop which kept him busy until his health declined several years ago. His encouraging words and helpful heart will be sorely missed by all.

If you would like to download a PDF form that can either be filled in on the computer or printed and filled out click the "FORM" button below.  If you would like to attach your completed form and send via email, click on the "SEND EMAIL" button and attach the completed form.  If you are a member please take a moment to complete the form.

New Gate Code System for Events is Active

Effective this month, all non club members entering the club for our discipline shoot or other events will need to use a gate code for entry.  The code will be provided by the discipline director or other person in charge of the event.  This new policy will help keep the club more secure while still providing access for non-members for our many events open to the public.  If you are not a member of the club and would like to attend one of our shoots, please check the CONTACT page of the website for more information about how to contact the discipline director; additional information may also be located on the CALENDAR page.
