GUN RANGE
The Range Certification is approved to December 31, 2025. It is important that all Range members follow the rules to help us keep our certification. Our Range is in great shape, thanks to the volunteers who help with the Range clean up and maintenance days. It takes a lot of work to keep the range clean, and every member is encouraged to do their own cleanup and a little bit extra. Please use the trash bins provided for shot shell hulls and used targets, we also have plastic pails in both ranges for used brass. Please pick up your garbage and remove your target after use. Brooms are provided for cleanup.
The Club will organize Sunday or Saturday afternoon Trap Shoots, look at our website for more information.
The cost for Trap Shoots is $5.00 per shooter for one round of 25 shots.
