We recently changed the sign-in log format to capture more
information about the usage of the various ranges.
At the same time, two of our members have taken the old sign-in
sheets and have started the laborious process of interpreting
the entries and entering the data for analysis, and for the
information of the board and the membership. The
old sheets covered the period from 29 May 2001 through
7 May 2002, for a total of approximately 2515 entries into
the ranges.
The following tables contain the second set of data entered
(a total of 1129 entries) for the period 29 May 2001 through
30 September 2001. The entries do not include
unregistered guests, students in hunter safety classes,
attendees at other range functions, officers in police
departments, sight-in days participants, or attendees at the
annual picnic. It is probably safe to say that the
numbers represent the minimum usage of the ranges.
It appears that 550 different people used the ranges during
this period, and, of that number, 112 people used the ranges
more than once.
It takes about four man-hours to enter the data for each 300
entries in the range sheets because the entries are so badly
written, or incompletely filled out.
