Range Improvements
The shooting range is currently undergoing some remodeling. We are using NRA Grant Funds and club funds to create a covered firing line. The process consists of removing the benchs and chairs and constructing the enclosure.
The process of replacing the benches may take some time so please be patient.
The key people behind this improvement are Jerrod Warner and Kasey Anderson.

Ladies Only Safety Course Ends WIth A Bang
The 2010 course of study ended on Saturday, May 22nd. The program included two prevoius classroom sessions. The third day of instruction included loading, unloading and live-fire excercises.
The program is designed as a first steps introduction to firearms and it's hard to say who had more fun, the students or the instructors.
Construction continues on the enclosed firing line.
The building will allow shooting in inclement weather.

NRA Gun Safety Rules
1. ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
This is the primary rule of gun safety. A safe direction means that the gun is pointed so that even if it were to go off it would not cause injury or damage.
The key to this rule is to control where the muzzle or front end of the barrel is pointed at all times. Common sense dictates the safest direction, depending on different circumstances.
2. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
When holding a gun, rest your finger on the trigger guard or along the side of the gun. Until you are actually ready to fire, do not touch the trigger.
3. ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
Whenever you pick up a gun, immediately engage the safety device if possible, and, if the gun has a magazine, remove it before opening the action and looking into the chamber(s) which should be clear of ammunition.
If you do not know how to open the action or inspect the chamber(s), leave the gun alone and get help from someone who does.
