Pig Hunt is planned at Vandenberg AFB on 15-18 February 2008. Your Camp Pendleton Sportsman's Club membership dues must be paid to participate in this event. 35 Club members have signed up to hunt. Roxanne Baxter has done an outstanding job in organizing this event and has published and disseminated all the information about Vandenberg AFB, game regulations, phone numbers and much more.

Old Business
-
Rifle Sight-in & Range Safety Officer Requirements: Many members indicated their interest in having a rifle sight in at one of the Camp Pendleton ranges; the Pendleton Sportsman's Club is currently limited and still needs members qualified as Range Safety Officers (RSO) and Officers-in-Charge (OIC) by the Base. If we do not have a qualified RSO & OIC a range cannot be scheduled. The first step is to complete the Base on-line / CD training; these CDs are available on the Pendleton Sportsman's Club website, then complete the one day RSO class given the 1st Friday of each month in the Base Main Theater. The NRA RSO course is also required and the Pendleton Sportsman's Club will pay for the NRA RSO course. Please contact Dennis by email if you have any questions.
