Safety Information:
Please do not shoot to ground on any
of our ranges. What we strive for is this: the bullet leaves the firearm, it passes through the target, and impacts the
backstop. NRA data shows that a shallow round can skip at up to a 40 degree
angle. So it is like a knuckle ball, who knows where it is going. Please manage
your targets appropriately.
Gun Show Information:
The fall gun show will be held on
September 28-29 at the club house.
Setup will be on Friday September 27
at 9:00AM
Show hours are Saturday 8:30-4:00 and

Planning Team Update:
We are looking at upgrades to range 7
as well as the range club house. We are also looking at adding additional
shooting bays to serve our members. We have received input that we need
dedicated shooting bays where no events are to be scheduled so that our members
can use them as their time permits.
Comments From
Our Groundskeeper:
The range 1 renovation is complete.
Enjoy the new facility. The blue containers are for your spent cases. Please
use them as the Boy Scouts will be collecting them for recycling. All trash
needs to be placed in the barrels. A reminder, no shot shells are allowed on
range 1 or 7.
Raffle Result:
The .308 caliber M1 Garand rifle was
won by Tom Metzke at the drawing during the board of directors meeting on August 13.
Congratulations Tom, you now own a piece of history.
