August Pistol Match Cancelled

The relentless weather and amount of work left to do leaves our range incomplete and not yet ready for a match.

Instead of shooting, we are scheduling another work session to complete the filling of the dividers on new bays. Some other work is also necessary.

If you can, please come out Saturday and help complete the tasks necessary to ensure safe and enjoyable matches. It will be most appreciated. We think it is something you will be proud to be a part of.

We will start around 9:00 AM Saturday morning. The work is not difficult and good people involved.

Sincerely,
Mike Shields, Match Director

Pistol Range Upgrades

Some big upgrades to the pistol ranges are in progress!

Bay 1 has been leveled and gravel added for more distance, but the side wall is pending an extension for safe use of the longer range.

Two new pistol ranges are under construction in the area between the rimfire rifle range and 200 yard rifle targets. New berms are clearly visible from the clubhouse, but gravel and the safety wall are pending completion. Do not use the new ranges until construction is complete.

Many thanks to Rumpke Corporation for the generous donation to level ranges and create new berms!
