RESTAURANT - HELP WANTED
Range USA, Inc. will soon be opening the new restaurant. After several years of inconsistent occupancy in the restaurant area, we have decided to operate it ourselves. And, having worked for many years in restaurant management (Chick-fil-A, an amazing company with amazing people!), I feel confident that we can make it work well for everyone!
Range USA is looking for several new team members to work in the restaurant. The hours of the restaurant will be Monday – Saturday from 11:00am-9:00pm and Sunday from 1:00pm-6:00pm. At first, the menu will be a deli-type menu featuring sandwiches, salads, homemade soups and homemade desserts. Seasonal dishes will be served and the menu will expand as we grow the restaurant. The food prep time will be very minimal and there will be no frying involved (so you won’t go home smelling like grease!)
The job description includes, but is not limited to – customer service, preparing food items according to recipes, cleaning, tracking and maintaining inventory, tracking sales, and basically providing outstanding service, with high quality products in a clean, comfortable environment. During slow periods, employees will be expected to perform light office work, marketing, and merchandising for Range USA. No experience is necessary. We will show you everything you will need to know.
Applicants need to be customer oriented, detail oriented, trustworthy, dependable, personable, and a quick learner with an obsession for cleanliness. Applicants also need to be able to follow directions to the letter and be able to work on their own. The hours are very flexible and would work well for college students, high school students, stay-at-home moms or dads, senior citizens who want something to do, or anyone else wanting to make a little extra money. The restaurant employees will also receive the benefits of the other Range USA, Inc. personnel.
For the applicant who wants to take a leadership role in the restaurant, there may also be a profit sharing program available.
All interested applicants, please submit a resume (nothing elaborate, just some information on you.) You may submit a resume via email – scott@rangeusa.com or you may drop it off in person. Either way, I look forward to talking with you about this exciting new opportunity.

FREE to a great home!
Due to the lack of time that we are able to spend with her to develop her full potential, we are giving away (to a great home) our 1 ½ year old Rottweiler, Tora. Tora is registered with an impressive pedigree. Her father, Streitwein Doctor Thor Kayara, is awesome – here is his website http://www.vomstreitweinrottweilers.com/Males.html. His titles include - Multi. V1, USRC Select '07', UCI Int. Ch., Am. Ch., , CGC. And her mother, Mindia, is extraordinary, too. Tora is a beautiful dog with rich mahogany markings. She is a little small but does meet the criteria for the small side of the breed standard. She weighs about 80 pounds. She was an expensive investment initially and has also completed two separate 6 week schools for obedience. She is very intelligent and shows great potential. However, we simply don’t have the time to spend with her. She is house trained and would make a great house dog. She has a very high food drive. She is currently eating Innova brand dog food. She gets along very well with our other two dogs. She is also kennel trained. She is a bit apprehensive and needs a lot of socialization. She does better with men than with women, although she does do well with women. She has always been good with our children, but we have always been cautious when she was around them. Due to her small size and lack of confidence, I don’t think she is suitable for breeding (actually, we are about to have her fixed.) She will never be a personal protection dog! Both trainers have emphasized this! So, if you want a personal protection dog or a Schutzhund dog, Tora is definitely NOT the dog for you! Tora is really only suitable to be a great pet. (Of course, her size, look, and the sound of her bark would probably give pause to a potential ne're-do-well.) Her ideal home would be an inside pet, only pet, male owner, no children, and lots of time to be spent on her! If you fit this description and want to have a loving pet Rottweiler, please email me – scott@rangeusa.com. I will have questions for potential new owners. I want to make sure the she is going to the right home!

Prayer Request |
|
|
On Sunday (July 27th) evening, the big side of our facility experienced a major structural failure resulting in the entire grid that holds the target retreivers to come crashing down. Thankfully, no one was hurt. Monday morning insurance adjustors will be on site to evaluate the situation. We will have the big side operational as soon as possible. Please be patient as we continue operations with only one side operational. This will be a real challenge for us as we try to work in our busy class schedule. Please be in prayer that this time will be brief and that operations will continue as normal in the very near future. And as always, thank you for your continued support. I will keep you posted.
- Scott Kilby
Update:
The big side is open for us to conduct classes on, so we shouldn't have any more interruptions in public lanes. Thanks to all of you who have shown such patience, understanding, and support. You all are amazing friends and patrons! Right now, we are waiting to hear from the insurance company. In the mean time, we are getting quotes from target carrier manufacturers on new equipment. We will be up and running before you know it - and better than ever! Thanks again!
- Scott Kilby
Update (9/6):
We chose the target system developed by Action Target as the new equipment for the big side. They have begun the manufacture of the equipment. Hopefully, we will be installing the equipment in 4-6 weeks. Thanks again for your support during this trying time.

http://www.wmctv.com/Global/story.asp?S=8785480&nav=menu59_2_7 STAND YOUR GROUND: Hand-To-Hand Combat After a burglar broke into her car and stole a $400 car stereo, Lakeland's Jessica Hambrick made a decision. She wasn't going to be a victim a SECOND time - especially if the second time is an attack on her instead of her ride. "It makes you want to be able to take some kind of control, you know, to defend yourself," says Hambrick. To defend herself, Hambrick took the personal combat class at Range USA, 2770 Whitten Road (www.rangeusa.com).
Instructor Ashley Johnson, a Madison County deputy trained in four
types of martial arts, teaches hand-to-hand techniques as a series of
strikes. The type of strike depends on the threat's distance and
size. It also depends on the student's comfort zone - or at least getting the student into a comfort zone. "You're
going to use what's most comfortable to you, and that's the reason we
show a variety of strikes," says Johnson. "Not everybody is
comfortable with punching. Not everybody is comfortable throwing an
elbow. Not everybody's comfortable with kicking somebody. And we offer
you a lot of different techniques, and you can choose what works best
for you." Here's a link to Range USA's description of its P.A.C.T class (Personal Assault Combat Training): Now here are links to class schedules for August and September, including gun-training and carry permit classes.

Help Wanted |
|
|
We are currently looking for Instructor's Assistants (IA) to help out during classes. Your job description will include filling out certificates, grading tests, facing targets, helping out on the range, cleaning up the range and classroom, getting students where they need to be, and generally helping out the instructor as they conduct the class. This is not a paying gig, however, you will have some really neat benefits - especially if you like to shoot! Also, it is a good way to get your foot in the door if you ever want to be a member of our training team! We are currently ironing out some details, but if you are interested, please drop us a letter of interest. Give us some background on yourself, firearm experience, why you want to be an IA, etc. I will get back to you as we begin the program. I look forward to hearing from you.
