Gun Range

Our range certification is valid through December 31, 2030. Continued compliance with all range rules is essential to maintaining this certification.

The range remains in excellent condition thanks to the efforts of our volunteers. Members are reminded to clean up after themselves and are encouraged to do a little extra when possible.

Please:

  • Dispose of shot shell hulls and targets in the designated trash bins

  • Place used brass in the plastic pails provided

  • Remove targets after use

  • Use the brooms provided to tidy shooting areas

The Club will host Saturday or Sunday afternoon trap shoots throughout the season. Please visit our website for dates and details.
