SRB – 50 yd Range is reserved for the next Rimfire Challenge – Modified Rimfire Steel Challenge for 22LR Pistols and/or Rifles only.  This is the first event of this type, should be fun!  We cancelled this event for December due to inclement weather so we decided to hold it on Sunday.  Might be cold on the range but it will be a sunny day, dress warm. 

The Steel Challenge is a speed shooting competition for 22LR pistols and rifles consisting of several modified stages with five steel targets. Competitors are scored solely by the time it takes to complete each stage, by shooting five strings in any order except the red stop plate which must be shot last. Throw out the worst score and total the remaining times for your score. Penalties occur for missed targets or shooting the red stop plate first.  The match winner is the one with the lowest overall time.

The course of fire is designed to be completed by even the most inexperienced shooter using one 10-round magazine without the need to reload “on the clock.”  Recommend a minimum of 2 magazines, recommend 5 mags.  This is a timed event designed to have 90% of the shooters hit 90% of the targets 90% of the time.  Young and old can participate.  $5.00 entry fee for members, $10.00 for guests.

The range set up at 7:00 am, Safety Meeting 8:30-9:00 am, the safety meeting is mandatory to shoot the match. Match starts promptly at 9:00am.  Contact Match Director: Tom Sanford, [email protected]

“The best gun fight is one that you avoid”. That is the quote that we have heard and most of us live by.  The question is how to best make this happen?  You need to be aware of your surroundings.  Sometimes no matter how aware we are things happen.  Being aware of your surroundings and paying attention might give you the precious seconds you need to save yourself or your family.

Scott Sampson will be providing free on-line training for the club on the 17th (This Wed).  This will contain information from part of USCCA’s Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals.  Learn about the Color Codes, what to look for, how to walk, where to walk, etc. We will also be discussing how to make plans ahead of time… “If this happens, I will …”

In a world were seconds may mean the difference between life and death, learn how to take advantage of them. Join the video conference at 7pm by clicking on the link below:

Fellow members,

As an NRA member you may not be aware of the Friends of the NRA.  It is the portion of the NRA that does education and programs like (Women on Target, Eddie eagle and more), otherwise know as the Foundation.  Because this portion is non-profit, the foundation does not do any of the lobbing or politicking.  The Friends of NRA raises money to provide grants to non-profits.  No salaries are paid for from the money we raise, all profits go towards grants.

In 2023 in the state of Virginia we provided grants to the following:

Thank you!
