Dochfour to do list for 2010?


Can we do this list at the start of May - or is there toooo much?

  1. Deflector board at the road - Willie will get some board and pins.  The plan was a 20mm high board - set into the road and deflecting the water down to the RHS of the gate.  Pins (metal or wood) to hold board.  We need pick, shovel, wood, pins etc etc
  2. Dig holes for strainers around rear of range.  Dont finish heeling the posts in as we need to get a digger to make us a working area behind the range.  I have 6 strainers ordered.
  3. New holding wire at the 100s to stop the targets flapping.  I have left wire at the range.  No cutters.
  4. Rig up something to allow us to put up backercards on the 50's  I would like to tidy up the stuff on the 100's too.
  5. Look at the point of impact for bench/standing.  Maria has pointed out that the we may not be able to do 2P at Dochfour - the MPOI may end up in the foot area and not in the sand catchers.  So we may need to dig more of a pit than a raised point.
  6. We need a device at the front of the range to catch brass.  Duncan Hammel will try to get some tarps, canvas etc to make catchers.  Plan was to run a wire over the front of the range to make a "trap" to catch the brass.
  7. Cut back some of the gorse on the way to the flags?
  8. The concrete slabs on the FP are very mobile.  Alistair Colliar has dropped off breeze blocks we should rebuild the RHS anyway.
  9. Flags.  We need to assemble more flags - Micheil has made the flags but we have to get them on the hangers.  We also need to drive some metal tube into the range and put a big dod of cement around them to prevent the animals damaging themselves if the step/fall/lay on them.  Since we are putting a big dod of concrete in the safety area we MAY need to put some wood facing the FPs to avoid richochet?
  10. If there are kids about the target boards could be sanded and painted.
  11. If there is a climber about we could put some tar/sealant around the holes in the roof where the bolts come in.
  12. We need another block on the gate out to 100's so that the latch can engage and save all this hassle with rope.
  13. What else needs done?

Bring gardening gloves and and sensible small tools - wire cutters, hammers, screws, scredrivers (electric?) nails, wood wood and more wood, strainers
and a flask of coffee?

BBQ afterwards for those that want.
