Due to forestry operations, we may be denied shooting 50 caliber, 338 Lapua Magnum, 300 Win Magnum and 6.5 Creedmoor temporarily. RSO won't know if such restriction will happen until RSO requests a Hot Time on range day. We may or may not get permission so if you shoot these calibers, show up to shoot them and also bring a non restricted caliber back up rifle to use just in case. We normally shoot 1000 yds on Sunday, very good chance forestry restrictions will impact but we won't know till we get a Hot Time at 0800. Bring back up rifle just in case.
We shoot only 1000 yards. Report to Range safety officers as soon as you enter the range for other instructions. We may have changes so be flexible and we'll have a great shooting day. KD Target Frame are available to members on the range now. Just come to pits and RSO will issue you a target frame to use. Please ensure you have an Empty Chamber Indicator (ECI) available. If you don't have one, stop by the clubhouse and buy one for $1.00. Using one aids the RSOs in the identification of firearm status and speeds up the unload and show clear safety process.
Due to ammunition shortages we will close if the ammo runs out!!! Get here early.
