We are having Action Pistol Shoots in the pistol bunker. Next scheduled date is May 13 2023. We will set up at 8am with shooting at 9am. The cost is $5 to shoot all day or until you run out of ammo. This is limited to members, family members, and 1 guest. This shoot is not open to the public. Other Action Pistol dates will be scheduled on a month-to-month basis – check the minutes or newsletters for specific information.

We shoot pistols on 3 stages in the morning and carbine type rifles after lunch.  Tools required: Guns, holster, magazines or speed loaders, safety gear, and at least a box of ammo to complete 3 stages.  For those participants without holsters, they will start at the low-ready position. You will be doing reloads in the middle of each stage. Both, pistols and revolvers can be shot. If you haven't attended one of these, you are missing out on lots of fun and information. This program is great practice for CCW license holders.  You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to participate in this shoot.  It is a terrific learning experience and loads of fun!

Members are encouraged to bring guests (up to 3 allowed). 

Lunch is NOT provided.

CENTERFIRE JUG SHOOT

May 20 and September 16, 2023

Reach into the back corner of your closet and dust off that centerfire rifle.  We're gonna have a jug shoot at the Brokenlock Range!  This event is open to the public--so bring your friends.

This is how it works: At 100 yards, a cable will be installed just above the target frames; and on that cable, we will suspend plastic jugs filled with water on metal hooks. 

We start with gallon jugs for the first round, then ½ gallon for the second, and pints for the third.  Each shooter will get 3 shots per round to be fired in 3 minutes (loads of time) to hit the jug.  Scoring is simple:  Hit first shot, 1 point.  Hit 2nd shot, 2 points. Hit 3rd shot, 3 points.  And no hit is 4 points.  At the end of shooting, you will want to have a low point score.  Pretty simple huh?

This is known as a blanket shoot because when all the scores are totaled, the shooter with the lowest score will pick a prize from the blanket (or table) first.  The second lowest will pick next, and so on until the last.  Every shooter will take home something.  Bring stuff, take stuff--Great huh?

 Now for the Details!

                          or black powder as a propellant.

Sight In and Registration:   9:00 am, safety meeting at 10:00 am, shooting immediately following.
