Just a reminder that no shot shell use on the steel target ranges or below 25 yards at the paper target range. Buck shot, steel shot, dragon breath or any other unusual types of ammunition are prohibited anywhere on the property!! Rifle or pistol use anywhere on the shotgun fields is prohibited.
STOP SHOOTING AFTER SUNSET
We have received many complaints from neighbors and township supervisors about shooters firing after sunset. We have installed video cameras to monitor activity on the grounds more closely. Your membership will be revoked if you participate in shooting after hours and we will pursue legal action against trespassers.
BRASS COLLECTION BOXES
New collection boxes are installed and the club will be recycling spent brass. Please deposit spent brass in the new containers.
22nd Women On Target® Clinics
The second of the 22nd annual Women On-Target® clinics was held on September 19th at Perry. This program is financially supported by the NRA Foundation. These are non-competitive, instructional clinics in recreational shooting and hunting sports for women only. The courses include instruction in safe firearms handling, hands-on pistol, rifle, shot gun and archery shooting. We congratulate the twelve (12) ladies who completed the course this September. Similar clinics are planned for June 19, 2027 and September 18, 2027. We will post those events for pre-registration during the first quarter of 2027.

DISPLAY YOUR CARD
Your membership card must be visibly displayed while you are using the ranges. Display your membership card on a lanyard or fastened to your gun case or range bag, etc. Michael Mescavage is our Range Officer; and he stops by the club randomly to check cards, guest passes and safe firearm handling by all members and guests. Club Officers also check same. Members are also encouraged to check other user’s cards. You will be asked to leave the ranges if you cannot provide proof of membership. We are being more proactive in this regard due to trespassers and memberships that have lapsed. Our new security camera system is in use.
