WELD COUNTY FISH AND WILDLIFE ASSOCIATION, INC.
P. 0. Box 300 Greeley, Colorado 80631
THE WELD COUNTY FISH AND WILDLIFE CLUB is a non-profit, community orientated
membership club. Organized about 40 years ago by a small group of sportsmen, this
club has dedicated itself to the conservation of fish and wildlife, good sportsman-
ship, recreation, and most recently to the teaching of gun safety and the right to
bear arms for recreation and legal hunting.
All dues, raffle and bingo income and any other income from donations or special
programs sponsored by the club is used to make payments on the land, to improve and
maintain our range and recreation area. This area, composed of about 123 acres (3r-- -)
land, is located 7 miles east of Eaton and 3 miles north of Galeton , Colorado. When
fully completed we plan to have 2 operating traps for trap shooters operating on
the second and fourth Sundays of each month.
We also have a picnic and play area, archery range, and when completed, hope-
fully by the end of this summer, a 200 yard, rifle range, two 100 yard ranges, a __--
75 yard, a 50 yard, and 25 yard range.
Membership dues this year are $13.00 including a key to get into the facili-
ties and anyone who is a U. S. Citizen without a criminal record, of sound mind and
agrees to obey our rules may join the club. Dues are payable from October to
October of each year. To join our club send $13.00 to P. 0. Box 300 along with
your full name, complete address, phone number and your occupation. A key and mem-
bership pocket card will be sent to you by return mail . Arm patches for your jacket
with the club emblem on them are available for $1 . 25 each.
Every club must have some rules to abide by, and our basic rules are as follows:
Actions open, guns unloaded until on the firing line. Obey the range officers. Do
not break glass on the ranges. Do not set cans on the target frames. When shooting
or picnicing is finished , clean up, help keep the range and picnic areas clean and
in good repair. All vehicles must stay on the roads. Positively no rifle or pistol
shooting east of the old R.R. embankment and shooting only during the daylight hours.
Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult member. No shooting of wildlife on
our range and keep the gate locked at all times. Anyone breaking any of these rules,
doing vandalism to our property, or any misconduct that might endanger another person
or jeopardize our club, can and will be dismissed from the club and after a proper
hearing with the board of directors, if felt necessary, will be prosecuted by the law
and made liable for all costs involved with such legal actions and all damages to club
property. Our range is checked and watched most of the time for intruders and those
persons who do not obey the rules. All shoots are under the supervision of at least
one club director.
Regular membership meetings are held the second Thursday of each month at the
Greeley Community Building and are open to all , starting at 7:30 p.m. At these meetings
we have a short business meeting and then a program, raffle, and refreshments. Pro-
grams consist of films and special speakers suitable for children and adults alike.
There are no meetings during June, July and August.
Directors and officers of the club meet the last Thursday of each month. The
purpose of these meetings are to plan all of our activities and maintain the business
of the club. These meetings may be attended by any paid up member and if he or she
so desires to work on the board or help with any of our activities should contact
an active board member. If you are a new member we hope that you will enjoy our club
and the activities that we provide.
Suggestions to better our club are welcome and will be considered at a regular
board of directors meeting.
Thank you for being good sportsmen.

Dear Mrs. Knapp,
I received your letter regarding the practices of the Weld
County Fish and Wildlife Association.
Your letter has been referred to the Planning Commission to
take necessary actions if violations of the resolution are
occurring at the rifle range. I appreciate your writing
and the problem will be handled immediately.
It is always a great help to us when citizens report problems
within the County; thank you for taking the time to notify us
of this situation.
Best regards,
