Folks, During the week while summer 4-H camp is going on, please leave the tables and target frames in the same location as you found them.  If you move the for your shooting session they must go back to the location you found them before you leave.  The reason is the 4-H instructors are wasting time re-setting the range each morning. It is OK that you use the range during the week after the Campers, but if this continues, we will have to close the range down for the entire week.  Please work with us to maintain the range in the condition you found it. Thank you for your cooperation!!!

Experience the fun of a friendly ARA Modified bench-rest shooting event uniquely designed to test and challenge your shooting skills. Join us on Sunday, June 16th, for a day of precision 22LR shooting.

All participants must attend the Safety Meeting to shoot!  The range set-up/sighting-in period lasts until 8:30 AM, and then the range goes cold for the 8:30 AM Mandatory Safety Meeting/Instructions. The match starts promptly at 9:00 a.m. and lasts until 12 noon. All participants must attend the Safety Meeting to shoot!  *** The 25 – 50 Meter Range is Closed for this Event. *** For more information about this event, Contact the Match Director, Tom Sanford, at [email protected].

Members, We found today almost a box of fired “00” buck shells on the trap field today (Sunday).  This is a reminder that the allowed shot size on ANY shotgun field is 7.5, 8, 8.5, and 9.  In other word no shot larger that 7.5.  The reason for that is SAFETY!  Larger shot size will exceed our safe fall area.  Depending on how these were fired, they could have easily left our range. There is zero reason to have something that large on the trap field.  If you want to shot slugs, buck shot etc (anything larger than 7.5 shot, then you are welcome to use the SRB, 50yd  or 100m. Thank you for your attention!!!
