Individuals interested in becoming members need to show up 1/2 hour early (7:30 PM) for orientation.

The driveway gate is currently active and being used.  If it is locked when you arrive, you can unlock it using the same passcode as the Clubhouse doors.  The gate must be manually opened and closed.  After unlocking the gate, be sure to scramble the code so the unlock passcode doesn’t remain visible on the lock.

If you are the last one leaving the property, make sure you close and lock the gate, and scramble the code so the unlock passcode doesn’t remain visible on the lock.

All targets are to be placed directly in front of the berms.  No targets are to positioned midway between the firing line and the berms.

No targets will be stapled to or put on any picnic table.  Fasten targets to the backer boards only or place targets on the ground in front of or on the berms as low as possible.

The recent winds have knocked down several trees in the woods at the club. Any club member wanting fire wood is welcome to these downed trees. You must cut and haul them yourself.

An ODNR sponsored Hunter’s Education will be taking place on Oct 22nd from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM inside the clubhouse.  If you have a youth (or yourself!) that is interested in attending, sign up on the Ohio Division of Wildlife web site.

Members: In the past, this has not affected use of the range on the outside of the building; however, kindly check in with Bruce before assuming this is the case.

For the pig roast, last names beginning with A – G please bring a salad, H – Q please bring a vegetable, and R – Z please bring a dessert.

Shooting starts at 2 pm; with dinner at 6 pm.  The club will provide the meat, sodas, plastic ware, cups, and plates.

We will have .22 rifle and pistol activities on the north range, trap on the trap range, and black powder shooting on the south range.  Your are encouraged to bring a black powder firearm and any .22 rifle or pistol.  The shooting on the north range will be child-friendly.
