Sept 1st 2026
Greetings,
There is no Range Day this month due to falling on Labor Day. We also have no pressing issues down range on all the ranges that can’t be handled before the range opens. There will be an orientation on Saturday, August 29th at 9:00 a.m. so there will be a short interruption while the class does a walk thru. The 22 rimfire challenge on Saturday, August 29th is cancelled.
We will be closing the range on Friday August 28th for the County to move some dirt from the fifty yard parking to behind the 25 yd range. It has to go through the rifle range and a big skip loader will be on the roads.
Stacy Flatt will also be installing gutters on the 50 yd range and maybe on the rifle range. Every time we scheduled to paint the rifle eaves it either rained or drizzled. Depends on whether we get time to paint at least the lower eaves.
There is a lock box on the gate now for EMS to access the range. We had an incident on the range and they were not able to open the gate. They did damage the lock and after about a week of problems using the lock, we got it replaced.
Hunters Sight in days will be on Saturday, September 26th and Sunday the 27th this year. Price will be $5.00 per gun and everyone pays including members. Hours are 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. so if you want to shoot and not pay, come after 3:00 p.m.. We can also use additional help at the event to help people with their guns and sighting in. We will have spotters and targets already set up.
There will be a .22cal rimfire bench rest precision shoot on Saturday the 12th that shoots NRA 1/5 size silhouette targets at 100,150,200,300 meters of the rails. Entry is $5.00. Starts at 9:00 a.m. and is usually done by 1:00 p.m.
On Saturday Sept 19th is a military rifle match. It is a bench rest match using any issued military rifle shooting at 150,200,300,400 meters off the rails at full sized NRA silhouette targets. It is a $5.00 entry fee, starts at 9:00 a.m. and is usually done by 1:00 p.m.
NRA silhouette targets are the chicken, pig, turkey and ram. Full size steel versions of them are hanging on the frames at the range for a reference and practice.
