  • 5-Stand December 3 and 4

    Update December 3: The shotgun range will be closed today, Saturday, December 3, due to inclement weather. We plan to open tomorrow, Sunday, December, 4, and have a soft 5-Stand setup. At the 5-stand venue, we will be giving away hams and tokens for those who break flash targets.

    Our 5-Stand venue will be setup on both Saturday, Dec. 3, and Sunday Dec. 4. The Saturday setup will be designed for newcomers to the sport and will be setup straight forward with relatively easy (according to Mark) targets. This will allow those folks who have never shot 5-Stand, or are frustrated with 5-Stand to gain confidence and learn the intricacies of how to setup and where to look for the targets. Advice will be available. This will also allow the highly competent 5-Stand shooters a chance to “easily” break 25 targets. Then, Sunday will be the normal, Mark setup.

  • Skeet This Friday

    The shotgun range will be open for skeet shooting on the Friday after Thanksgiving, Nov. 25, from 9AM to noon. As of right now, the trap range will not be open.

  • 5-Stand Turkey Shoot

    This coming Sunday, November 6, we will be giving away a few turkeys and a token or two to shooters breaking flash targets randomly inserted into the shooting sequence. Hope you can come join the fun.

  • Winter Hours

    It was decided at our monthly meeting November 3rd that we will not be changing to our normal winter hours. Instead, our hours of operation will remain as they are, 9:00 a.m. ’til Noon on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays throughout the winter months.
