Tickets Seller in NEED:
Consider signing some tickets out to sell to your friends and family- all $$ goes to the Range Project.
Use the contact us form if you would like to get some tickets or sell some tickets, thanks!

From Lawnmowing Committee- The Rifle Range Road was built to drive down & park to put targets up at 300yds. STAY ON ROAD, do not drive up to targets, it is a short walk from parking to targets!

This ruts up the area causing difficulties while lawnmowing.

Also, brass must be cleaned up toprevent issues during mowing.

The club purchased a mower, members can now volunteer to mow the grounds without having to bring equipment, if you would like to help keep the grounds a great place let us know so we can set you up for a orientation with Scott.

REMINDER:
Shut the gate after yourself going in and out, be sure to lock when you leave- please be sure the CODE is not left on the combination. Please be sure the flag is put away if you are the last person on the range. Also, when visiting the clubhouse pull shut and lock the door, double check prior to leaving as it was open and heat is expensive.

THINGS TO DO

  • Paint steel in Pistol Range/ Rifle Range
  • Rifle Range clean debris on entire range
  • Puddle at 300 yard targets repair
