The club has a WASP (Widmann Automatic Shell Paster) machine available for members to paste round shells. If you intend to use the club WASP machine during Western WinterBlast, please attend this quick orientation workshop. In this presentation, the WASP staff will demonstrate how to set the machine up for your shell size, select the correct wrapping file, select the gummed tape size, and run the machine. Learn about locating the passfire tube and what to do if thing don't go as planned. There will be plenty of time for Q&A.
