Lower Range:
The lower range has been returned to normal operations with the traditional range rules. There are no longer firing points for short range pistol use.
Short Range:
The short range will have limited and marked firing points in order for the club to remain compliant. There are two positions at 10 yard area and three positions at 25 yard sections. The 50 yard range is open, and firing is only permitted where an X is marked on the floor with blue tape. The two shooting benches are open, and shooters must stay more than 6 feet apart. It is very important that all markings be obeyed if the short range is to remain in use.
Indoor Range:
The indoor range is now open. Please keep a safe distance from others. Firing points will be marked.
Archery Range:
The archery range will be open as usual with members using 6 feet of social distancing.
Special Notice for 3-Gun / Defensive Gunning / Shotgun Drag Races:
Shoots have resumed. These events usually fill up and we will need to consider the number of people who can attend these events. Please contact the discipline director to save your spot at the shoot. Walk ups will not be able to shoot once a safe capacity is reached.
Featured Club Activities & News
Work Parties and Club Improvements
Thanks to all who came out to help at the work party on September 27th. There is lots of work that gets done at these along with even more behind the scenes when nobody is looking. Next time you are at the club check out the new benches at the 50 yard line on the short range. They help for both rifle shooting and to keep the social distancing requirements we maintain at the club. Watch the calendar for future opportunities to help keep your club looking and functioning great.
