Important update on our Rifle Range

We have unfortunate news about our rifle range. The land that our rifle range resides on was sold by the prior owners that we leased the land from. Unfortunately, we were not able to reach an agreement with the new land owner for continued use whether to lease or to purchase the range. The new land owner has permitted our continued use of the range until November 17th, 2023.

We are currently working on building a new rifle range near the Roger Cross Action Shooting bays as well as an improved access road to that range. More communication will come out regarding this in the future. It is our hope to minimize, or avoid alltogether, any duration without a rifle range as we realize the importance of this to all club members.

Please note: Anyone (member or otherwise) using the rifle range without permission from the new owner after 11/17/2023 will be trespassing on private property and subject to the laws and penalties governing our state under the sole discretion of the new land owner. We will post signs when the time is appropriate.

As stated above, more communication will be coming regarding this in the coming months.
