Range Closures for Berm Repair

Good news!  We're doing some berm upkeep over the next few weeks in an effort to continuously improve the safety and shooting experience for our members.  The bad news is that we're going to have some range closures (typically 7 am - 5 pm) during the week in an effort to get the work done.  We're asking our members to steer clear of the range as much as possible during that time, so that we don't have more than necessary traffic congestion, cars parked in the way, etc., etc.  It is our goal to get this done as quickly as possible, so we can get back to shooting.  Please make sure that you yield to any earthmoving equiment on-site, and that there is absolutely NO SHOOTING WHILE THERE IS WORK GOING ON.  Since the folks helping may not be used to the noise of a shooting range, we want to ensure that they're not distracted and can complete their work safely and quickly.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE WEBSITE CALENDAR BEFORE GOING TO THE RANGE!  The calendar may change day-to-day for the next few weeks, so please make sure you double check it before you head to the range.  If there is work going on, the ENTIRE RANGE (bays and main range) will be closed to allow us to get the work done safely and quickly. 

Thanks for your patience and understanding; we look forward to making the range a better place for generations to come!

Sincerely,

Chuck Bjork, President

Updated Rules are Posted!

After several months of having the proposed rules up for member review, the Board voted to update the rule book.  Our goal was to make the rules more concise and easier to use.  The new Rule Book is available here, or you can pick up a paper copy at an upcoming Board meeting if you prefer.

.475 Linebaugh and .480 Ruger Added to Approved Cartridge List

We recently had a member attend a Board meeting and proposed that we add .475 Linebaugh and .480 Ruger to our Approved Cartridge List.  After thoughtful consideration, we added these two cartridges to our list and updated the website to reflect the change.
