[QUOTE="mr ed, post: 3799619, member: 6777"] Other tidbits of info. The club was formed in1963/64 during the 60's it grew to about 150 members. Something to understand about back then. Woodland hills, Eastland mall, Tulsa Hills etc. etc. were hunting spots well outside the city limits. Everybody could just pop over to a family members place and shoot. As Tulsa grew it closed off those spots. In the 70's the membership grew to about 500. Then, there was a massive population growth and membership rose to around 1500 in the 80's Then in the 90's it was really growing and they put a cap on memberships at around 2200-2500 where it remains today. What a lot of newer members don't understand or remember is today you see small numbers out at the range. Back in the 80's it was nothing to wait to use a range. There would be 2-300 people out there on a Saturday or Sunday. Times change, more people are off or retired and go during the week. As the membership has gotten older, they keep up their membership to have a place to take the grand-kids when they come to town. This is now probably 50% or more of the members. Why Red Castle? My dad and the others who started the club, worked for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Their symbol was the Red Castle. And there you know. [/QUOTE]
