Rifle Range

Rifle Range

We have a 200 meter range with a 20 bench covered firing line area that is adjoined to a dedicated pistol area. The rifle/pistol range has it's own climate controlled  range house and restroom facilities. Snacks and drinks are available for purchase in the range house. Shooters provide their own paper targets. Target stands and bases are available to use free of charge. The rifle/pistol range is supervised by volunteer range safety officers.   Steele Targets now avaiilable at the rifle range.  Please bring Spray paint if you would like to see your hits.

RANGE SAFETY OFFICERS (RSO's) MUST BE PRESENT BEFORE ANYONE CAN USE THE RIFLE PISTOL RANGE.

Rifle/Pistol Range Hours

Please Note: Members must be present at the range one hour before closing time or the Range Safety Officer may close the range early.

Rifle & Pistol Range Rules

RANGE USE 

Events scheduled with the club have first priority for range use. In the case of club leagues/matches, efforts will be made to leave four shooting positions open for general use. Members are free to use the range during normal operating hours when no events are scheduled PROVIDED there is a range safety officer present.

RIFLE/PISTOL RANGE HOURS

Range Safety Officer (RSO) must be present for members to shoot.

The Rifle/Pistol Range may not be open during inclement weather or where temperature is below 35 degrees. RSO's range safety commands are to be obeyed at all times. The RSO makes all final decisions regarding range use. If you have any issues, questions or concerns please contact the Chief Range Safety Officer or Board Of Directors.

GENERAL RANGE SAFETY

PERMITTED FIREARMS

Any legally owned and legal to own firearm in safe operating condition is permitted for use on the range. This necessarily means that some shooters will require more proficiency and experience than others. This is particularly true with fully automatic weapons fire. No one under the age of fifteen years is allowed to operate fully automatic firearms. In other regards any pistol, rifle, shotgun and muzzle loaders may be used.

AMMUNITION NOT PERMITTED

TARGETS

The shooter will supply his/her own targets but may use a club provided target stand and backer. Target stand/backer use is free. To decrease the likelihood of ricochets, shooters may not use metal targets, metal target frames or metal stands/bases. Target stands and backers are to be made from wood, PVC and/or cardboard or some other material type that will not cause ricochets. Non-metal containers such as plastic jugs may be used as targets provided the shooter cleans up/disposes of all debris afterwards.

Shooters should line their target stands up in line with their firing position to ensure that they will no cross-fire into adjoining lanes. Targets/stands may be placed at almost any distance provided that the bullet impact into the ground is at 25 yards or beyond.

When you are finished your range session, it is your responsibility to retrieve target stands from down range and neatly stack them back in the target shed from which they were taken. Remove and properly dispose of the paper targets from the backers. Sweep up all spent ammo cases with the brooms/dustpans provided and place into recycling receptacles located along the posts.

TARGET TYPES PERMITTED

TARGET TYPES NOT PERMITTED

Pistol range placement will only be at the base of the 50 yard berm.

Rifle range placement will be at either the base of the 170 yard berm or the base of the 200 yard backstop.

*If in doubt, the Range Safety Officer makes final determination of allowed targets.
