Quote of the Month
"A truth's initial commotion is directly proportional to how
deeply the lie was believed. It wasn't the world being round that
agitated people, but that the world wasn't flat. When a wellpackaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over
generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its
speaker a raving lunatic."

INFRASTRUCTURE NEWS: Well we’ve had quite a flurry of activity lately. As you know, we have a
building on the north end of the range which will become our new club house, complete with two
bathrooms and house for the war wagon. There will be several follow-on projects later. We are working
diligently to complete the interior work so we will be fully operational as quickly as possible. A lot of
planning has gone into this and we think at the end of the day it’ll be nice.
Shortly, we will have a couple of additional bays where the closed rifle range was which will be followed
by shade covers. Essentially, our normal operations will be run from the north end of the range – IPSC,
ICORE, Steel Challenge, and 3-Gun.
SCORING NEWS: With USPSA now committing to the Practiscore software, we have finally taken the
plunge. We ordered some equipment to test it out – did some testing – and ordered enough devices and
components to run club matches using Practiscore. One nice aspect to this is that the same devices and
software can be used to support our other shooting events as well.
Will you be ready? Actually, from the shooter’s perspective, the actual use of the scoring software to
enter results is easy. Practiscore is a free app that runs on iOS or Android devices, so anyone with a
compatible device (iPhone, Droid, Kindle, Nook, etc) that wants to become familiar with it can download it.
That said, matches will be run on club-provided devices only.
As one of the folks who enters nearly 600 score sheets per IPSC match, this will be a welcome change
for me!
SECTIONAL NEWS: We are planning to hold a Sectional Match the first Saturday in September, with
Sunday being an alternate for potential weather delays. We have not yet finalized details to release, but
will do so shortly.
Our next IPSC match will be April 5th. ALWAYS CHECK THE WEBSITE FOR LAST MINUTE
UPDATES & SCORES.

A NEW KIND OF SHOOTING FUN
Actually, air gun fun goes back to when we were all kids. But getting to enjoy informal
indoor matches at our club is something new. What started with only a handful of
shooters, has grown to a regular attendance of about a dozen or so.
We get together every Friday morning for matches at 9:30 a.m. inside the main club
house. All it takes to get in on the fun is an accurate shooting pellet gun and about an hour
and a half of your time. You'll find all kinds of guns at the matches, about equally divided
between rifles and pistols.
A good scope is a must, the more magnification, the better. The entry fee is only $2 and
shooting is done off tables at 18 yards. I can guaranty some challenging fun-type paper
targets and a chance to even win a couple bucks in prizes.
We'll continue shooting on Friday's until the .22 matches begin on the bench rest range in
the middle of April. At that time air gun matches will continue meeting, but change to the
1st and 3rd Mondays at 9:30 a.m. in the club house.
In a time when ammo is costly and hard to find, this is a great way to have some
inexpensive shooting fun.

Dear Oklahoma City Gun Club Voting Members,
I would like to serve for you on the Board of Directors at the Oklahoma City Gun Club. I'm
very sincere in asking for your support and votes to be placed on the Board. I will do my best
to represent all of our divisions equally. I think I have the broad experience over multiple
shooting disciplines to be a great Board Member representing you. My life and shooting
division experience is listed below.
I've been an Oklahoma City Gun Club Member for over 10 years, and a voting member for the last 5 years. I'm a
lifelong shooter and hunter in many different areas. Since becoming a member of the OKCGC, I've shot archery, FFClass Rifle, Action Pistol, and 3 gun matches. I have also shot in several different OKCGC Spring and Summer skeet
leagues. I also plan to assist and shoot the soon coming IDPA matches.
I'm a current member of the National Rifle Association, United States Practical Shooting Association, and the
International Defensive Shooting Association. I'm a USPSA Certified Range Officer. To assist with the upcoming
IDPA matches, I have also completed the IDPA Safety Officer class.
In my professional career, I am a commercial construction estimator.
estimator. This job involves dealing with a lot of
different people with a lot of different personalities. I feel I am an effective communicator with many different
personality types and this will be a useful asset if I am elected to the Board.

My wife Melody and I have been members of the OKC Gun Club for approximately 20

ears. About five years ago, I decided that if our club was to continue to grow and improve,
members who have the time and are able should take a more active role and do more to
help the club. We initially became more involved by volunteering at the Ladies Fun Shoot
and trying to learn more about the individual divisions within the club. We currently shoot
in the skeet league and Cowboy Action Shooting and enjoy the bench rest and plinking range. After helping with
several projects, I was elected as a division
division chairman and have attended the monthly board meetings for the past
three years. Last year when the Board decided to change the election process, I was asked to oversee the election.
Many of you, who have been club members a lot longer than me, have seen
seen many changes to our club in the last 5
to 10 years. Some of the changes you probably like and some you may not. But one thing we can all agree on, is
that the club has changed. With these changes come new challenges. Many of the changes are a direct result
resu of
the unprecedented growth in membership and range usage. The upside to this growth is additional money to
make significant improvements to our range.

Board of Director Candidates
J.R. Hile (Continued)
In years past, with 400 members and an annual budget of approximately $40,000.00, it was pretty simple to
manage the club’s resources. With 2200 plus members and an annual operating budget in the hundreds of
thousands of dollars, it is critical that we have board members with business and financial management
experience.
Our club’s size and financial resources now make us a target for anyone who feels like we would be an easy mark.
We must take steps to protect the club. As board members, we must recognize that we have fiduciary
responsibility to our members and our actions must be above reproach. Decisions must be made from the
standpoint of “what is good for the club”, not strictly for the benefit of a division and absolutely not for individual
personal gain.
I feel that my background, which consists, of managing a very successful business for over twenty years, gives me
the experience that is needed to provide a real benefit to our club and I would be honored if you select me to
serve you and all the members by electing me to the Board of Directors.
The next few years will be critical to the survival of not only our club, but also to shooting sports and gun
ownership in general. It is very important that we as a group not only support and defend these rights, but also try
to get others involved in the shooting sports. If we don’t vigorously protect these rights, then who will? Our club
must continue to be at the forefront of defense of our rights and our ability to exercise these rights.
I would appreciate your vote and support and I look forward to serving you.
Andrew E. Karim
Allow me to introduce myself. I am Andrew Karim, a husband, a father of three children, and a lawyer who has
been in private practice for nearly 30 years. I graduated from Classen High School (sometimes referred to as “Old”
Classen), Central State University (now UCO), and the University of Tulsa College of Law. I have been a member of
the Gun Club for several years — since the time my children joined the Oklahoma County 4-H Shooting Sports
Club, which was, and continues to be, hosted and supported by the Gun Club. During the years my sons were
competitive 4-H shotgun shooters, I helped in various ways including being a puller and scorer at shooting events
such as the annual State Skeet competitions, which were (and are) held at the Gun Club. With Boy Scouts being
the driving force, I became an NRA-certified Range Safety Officer and instructor in shotgun and pistol. My sons are
Eagle Scouts, each one having completed his Eagle Service Project at the Gun Club’s Youth Campground; the postand-beam entry and the raised platform with flag poles. Both are visible from the road just before reaching the
benchrest and plinking ranges. For the past five years, I have been one of many instructor-volunteers at the .22
rifle range during the Annual Women’s Fun Shoot.
Simply put, service on the Board would be an honor and a privilege, affording me another way to “give back.” The
Gun Club’s website states that “our future is vested in our membership – present and future.” I hope to bring to
the table a new enthusiasm geared toward promoting what is important to our current members and contributing
to our strategic plan to sustain the Gun Club for future generations.
I ask for your vote. Thank you.

Board of Director Candidates
Jere Korthanke
Hello, my name is Jere Korthanke and I would appreciate your support and your vote as
your representative to the Board of Directors for the Okl
Oklahoma
ahoma City Gun Club. The Board
of Directors is the group elected to represent your interests in the oversight and
management of the gun club. Our club has grown to the point (2200 members) that we are
at a critical point in the future of our club. I have vvisited,
isited, as a guest and a competitor, many
clubs around the country and I can tell you, that we have one of the best clubs in America.
I personally believe that, as members, we have a responsibility to contribute whatever we
are able to help our club, not only
nly grow but also to improve the club for our current members.
I have been a member of the OKC Gun Club for many years and I became a Senior Member (what is now a voting
member) in 2008. Since joining the club I have enjoyed many of the different shooting disciplines that the club
offers, including shotgun, bench rest, plinking, cowboy action, steel challenge, and I am planning to participate in
all the action pistol division events soon. I believe my varied shooting interests will help me to represent all of our
members, regardless of which games they like to play. I also believe that members who use the facility are better
able to know what our club and our members need. I am also a life member of the NRA.
My wife Joan is also a participant in various shooting
shooting sports and as you can imagine spending time at the club is an
important part of our life. Our son Jason, a gun club member, has two great daughters whom I hope will grow up
and be able to enjoy our shooting heritage and the OKC Gun Club as much as we
we do. AS a board member, I will do
everything that I can to preserve these rights for all of us to enjoy.
I am presently a Captain with the Oklahoma City Fire Department. I will be retiring with 25 years of service this
summer, which will allow me to dedicate
dedicate more time to the club. One of the things I have learned through my
career with the fire department is that much can be accomplished if you can work well with others toward a
common goal. It will be my goal to help the club by never losing sight of what
what I feel our members truly want. I have
not served on the board previously, so I don’t take office as part of any particular group. My goal will be to serve
all members of the Oklahoma City Gun Club.
Thank You.
Jack Legg
To the Board of Directors and the Membership of the Oklahoma City Gun Club:
It would be an honor for me to serve the Oklahoma City Gun Club as a member of the Board of Directors. The
Oklahoma City Gun Club has been a large and important part of my life for the past fifteen years, and it is
important that we pass the club on to the next generation in even a better condition than we find it in today.
My view of a board member is that he or she represents and is responsible to the entire club membership and
not to just a single division. It should be the goal of each member, as well as of each director, to promote the
wholesome and safe participation in the shooting sports and to extend a positive image of the shooting sports to
the public in general. The financial health and the public perception of the Oklahoma City Gun Club is going to
be critical in the future preservation of the club as those who are enemies of the rights of gun owners and of the
shooting sports attempt to limit our activities or to force the closing of the club entirely. Thoughtful,mature,
experienced leadership is needed for our club's future. If you believe I am capable of such leadership, I would
appreciate your vote in the upcoming board election. If I am fortunate enough to be elected, I pledge my best
efforts and diligence in serving you, the membership of the Oklahoma City Gun Club.

Some of you know me quite well, but others of you do not know me. Therefore, I am going to give you a brief
autobiography of myself and hopefully give you information that will let you see that I am qualified to serve you
and the club.
I am a graduate of the University of Central Oklahoma earning a degree in Business Administration with a major in
real estate. I have over forty years of business experience in sales and management. I served in the United States
Marine Corps and was honorably discharged with the rank of Sergeant. Jackie, my wife and best friend, and I have
been married for forty-four years and are the parents of two beautiful, grown daughters and the proud
grandparents of two beautiful granddaughters. For the past fifteen years, I have participated in cowboy action
shooting here at the Oklahoma City Gun Club and for several years Iwas the Match Director and Co-Match
Director of Land Run, one of the largest cowboy action competitions in the nation. I also participate in skeet
shooting here at the gun club and have shot registered skeet here and at other clubs. I am currently on the
committee to form and build the Five- Stand Division for our club. I have supported and been a volunteer of
"Women on Target", the Women's Fun Shoot for many years. I also use other portions of the club on a regular
basis and as I mentioned earlier, I am interested in the success of each division and shooting sport our club
supports.
I ask for your support and vote for my membership on the Board of Directors of the Oklahoma City Gun Club.
Bill Norfleet
I would ask that you support me in my request to be elected Director of the Oklahoma City Gun Club (OKCGC)
Board of Directors.
The past 12 years serving as Membership Chairman has been quite an experience. There are times I have been
frustrated, and I am sure, there are times I have caused others frustration. Understandably there have been
growing pains as membership has increased nearly 260% from 920 to 3,200. The sheer numbers dictate that there
will be a few problems with mail, addresses, work day reporting, etc.
Problems this year have been very few as the system has been refined. Transitioning to the "Lock Box" system,
with checks going directly to the bank, has made things both easier and faster. I also instituted an invoicing system
for membership dues - which have grown 400% in the last 12 years. Oversight of the new Membership
Orientation Packet from approval stage through design and production was one of my projects this year as well.
Currently a new data base system is in the works for smoother handling of all membership related issues.
During my tenure on the Board I participated in the clarification of Club bylaws, a frequent issue for clubs that
grow as fast as the OKCGC is growing. With that growth in mind I negotiated and purchased two different parcels
of land in the NW quarter section on behalf of the Club.
In addition to my role as Membership Chairman, I have been very active brainstorming with others for ways to
enhance the Club. Following are various illustrations demonstrating that I have the foresight to help us become an
even better club in the future.

Board of Director Candidates
Bill Norfleet (Continued)
I have been involved in many improvements at the Club, new buildings for the Archery and Cowboy divisions,
remodeling of both the Main Clubhouse great room and kitchen are just two examples. Within the Shotgun
Division I designed, gained approval for, and constructed the expansion of the Shotgun Clubhouse. Funds to
purchase the Pat-Trap
Trap Trap Machine for Field 2 derived from the grant I wrote to the Friends of the NRA. I assisted
in initiating other grant requests from Friends of the NRA for Shotgun, Youth, and Training divisions. I designed and
installed an irrigation system for the Shotgun Divison, all labor donated. I was responsible for the new Target
Storage building
uilding and am currently working on design and approval of additional Skeet and Trap fields. Additionally
I ran Registered Shoots for three years and instituted highly successful Monthly Fun Shoots.
As Co-Chair of the 5-Stand
Stand Division I helped manage all shoots and assisted with the planning, approval of , and
current construction of, two new permanent 5-Stand
5 Stand fields. Grants I have written to the Friends of NRA have been
utilized to purchase most of the 5-Stand
Stand traps.
Outside of the OKCGC, I have been a member of Heartland Friends of NRA Committee for the past 12 years acting
as Chairman for five of those years. During my stint as Chairman the Committee raised over $500,000 with half of
the funds dedicated to Oklahoma needs. The youth shooting functions (4H, FFA, BSA etc.), the Women's Fun
Shoot, and the Shotgun Division have all benefitted from Committee funds. The Committee is so successful that it
has been ranked in the top 40 of 1,200 Committees nationwide for 10 years and in the top 10 for the last ttwo
years.
At the OKCGC, one of my current goals is to formulate an overall plan for the Club to address all possible
environmental issues and begin a lead recovery program. Recently I attended a 10 day NRA Range Management
seminar and training for NRA Field
ld Engineering Representative in order to better serve the OKCGC.
I'm sure you can tell from reviewing the many ways that I serve the Club that my dedication to the OKCGC is
sincere. As Director that commitment would be utilized to continue the current ttrajectory
rajectory of the Club from modest
beginnings to one of the top Gun Clubs in the United States. I appreciate your consideration and hope that you will
support me in this endeavor.
Sincerely,
Bill Norfleet, Secretary – OKCGC, Board of Directors

Dear Oklahoma City Gun Club Voting Members
I have been a member of the club for about ten years and a voting member for half of that
time. Over the years I have participated in many disciplines at our club. Currently 3-gun
3
and USPSA take up pretty much all my time. I feel that having a diverse background
b
of the
different divisions will give me a broader sense of what the club needs as a whole.
I am a NRA Endowment Member. Also I am a USPSA certified Range Officer. In my
professional career I am a Medical Physicist. With that job, I consult at many facilities throughout Oklahoma and
Texas. I believe this background makes me a better candidate for the board. I deal with many people at different
facilities on a day to day basis. The problem solving aspects of my job can apply to the club.

Will Richter (Continued)
I will do my best to take the club forward in the years to come. I see a lot of good things taking place now. We are
getting 5 stand going and an IDPA division started. I have become an IDPA Safety Officer in order to help facilitate
this growth.
One of the things vitally important to our way is getting new people involved. It is awesome to see all the new
people coming to the monthly USPSA pistol match. John and Matt have the biggest USPSA match in the state
going and all of the new shooters are pretty much instantly hooked and wanting more. The women’s fun shoot is
also another very positive way to get new people involved. Give them a little and they love it.
This is what I do and what I love. I think the best way for me to do that and help out more is for me to serve on
the BOD. Thank you.
Sincerely, Will Richter
Rick Rowan
Dear Voting Member:
I have maintained a lifelong interest and passion for the shooting and hunting sports for more than 55 years and
have tried to pass this love down to my wife, children, grandsons and anyone else that appears they may have an
interest in the shooting sports. I have been a member of the club since 1992 and a member of the NRA for many,
many years, and in the past was a member of the Wichita Kansas Gun Club, San Antonio Texas Gun Club, the
Tinker AFB Gun Club and served as the Assistant Skeet Director at the Capital City Gun Club (Topeka Kansas). My
experience includes 40 years of organized formal competition in American Trap, American Skeet, Metallic Rifle
Silhouette, Sporting Clays and IPSC, participation in informal International Trap and Skeet competition, as well as
5-Stand competition at the club and other shooting events.
Although I rarely compete these days, I do enjoy using the Bench rest, Plinking, Bullseye, Black Powder, Training
and Shotgun ranges at our club at every opportunity as well as participating in the camaraderie of the informal
shooting events at our club.
As a side note, if it is deemed to be of value to serving on the board, my past experience includes serving as
Director of a department in a large corporation with responsibility for leadership of 250 employees, fiscal
responsibility for a $9 Million annual budget; and have had my own small business for the last 6 years.
If elected, I believe I would complement the existing board in being a good sounding board to others ideas,
providing ideas , leadership and direction to the club to help make one of the finest shooting facilities in the
country become even better in the future for all of the club members.
Thank you for your consideration.
Best Regards, Rick Rowan

Kent Shomber
OKCGC Members:
First let me briefly introduce myself. I am a 27 year veteran to the Edmond Fire Department, living in Logan
County about 3 miles from our club. I have been an OKCGC member since roughly 1990 and have been a very
active both competitively and through service as the High-power range chairman/match director for the past 14
years, and then most recently, board membership for the past three years.
I am seeking re-election to the board for the following reasons: I have really enjoyed working with the Board of
Trustees. Your board is a bunch of professionals who truly have the interest of the membership and your club at
heart. I consider board membership as a true privilege.
Over the past 24 years I have literally been involved in hundreds of gun club improvements and maintenance
projects in multiple divisions. I see club improvement as the cornerstone to a healthy and growing organization.
As a member of the board, I just won’t vote to advance the club through improvements; you can bet I’ll be on the
business end of a shovel or running a tractor, getting things done.
I am a competitive shooter both with the high-power division and with cowboy action (though I’m not real
‘competitive’ overt there) and have competed with 4 other divisions. I consider competitive shooting an extremely
important piece of our club and see competitive shooters as those who normally contribute the most to our club.
As your board member I will continue to encourage casual shooters to compete. Our involvement in our shooting
sports brings other competitive shooters to our club thus increasing visibility and revenue.
In closing, thanks for considering me for continued board membership. We really have something special here in
the OKCGC, and I’m continually proud to contribute.
Kent Shomber
Buck Sifford
Madam President
I, W. C. Sifford, alias Buck Sifford, do hereby summit this letter indicating my intensions to have my name place on
the ballot of candidates for club director.
I have been a member of the OKC Gun Club for over 20 years. I am a skeet shooters and also serve as League
Director of the Shotgun Division. I host 3 leagues per year with last year's Spring league having 120 shooters. I am
active in the NSSA (National Skeet Shooting Association) and the Armed Forces Skeet Association where I served 6
years as one of the directors representing the Retired Air Force members. I am a retired Air Force Major. I Have
extensive experience in operating multi-million dollar operations and supervising hundreds of Airmen. During my
Air Force career I was deployed and assigned around the world and during those deployments and assignments I
worked with hundreds of fellow service members from numerous nations. I will bring that considerable
experience with me to serve the OKC Gun Club.
I understand that a director of the OKC Gun Club does not just serve the division that he or she is most associated
with but must serve the entire Gun Club. I will make decisions that reflect what is best for the Gun Club.
Please add my name to the list of club members that want to be an OKC Gun Club Director.

Oklahoma CMP Games April 9 – 13 For the third year in a row, the Civilian Marksmanship Program, in
conjunction with the Oklahoma City Gun Club will be hosting the Oklahoma
CMP Games, a national event for shooters and collectors of WWII-era rifles
and pistols. Never fear, the CMP Games events are designed to be a less
intense version of traditional shooting events, where off the rack rifles and
pistols are mandated.
Events will include M1 Garand matches, 1903 Springfield & Vintage Bolt
Action rifle matches, Model 1911 and Military & Police pistol matches, M1
Carbine matches, and a Vintage Sniper rifle match.
Once again, the CMP is scheduled to bring rifles and ammunition for sale,
but be forewarned, competitors will have the first opportunity to shop this
year.
