Upcoming Events

MDRC IDPA October 5, 2024 Match Results are posted.

ATTENTION EVERYONE: The line buried in the Action Bays has caused an unexpected problem. The ditch has become a trap for cars. The ground is soft and one of the members hung his car up and needed to call a tow truck to get out. This will take some work to straighten out. In the meantime DO NOT attempt to drive into the bays. They are usable, but muddy. We will be working toward solving the problem. Because of the mud and soft ground we also are cancelling the next Steel Match.

Well folks we will try again with the mowing. Mother nature’s cooperation we will mow Thursday morning, October 3rd starting around 8:00 am.

The Trap House is finally completed, tested and now in operation. The first group has gone through the Orientation, signed the proper paperwork and received a key to the Trap House. Sunday, October 13th at 1:00 pm is the time/date for the next orientation.

There is only one remaining Work Detail Day.

The Downrange Alert System is nearly completed. There should be little need to shut the range down while they finish work. Installation the the horns and testing is all that remains. We will soon have gravel to clean up the Action Bays where the lines were installed.

Problem at the range. Someone carried bricks, rocks or small boulders down into the Hi Power infield and left them there.  IF YOU CARRY MATERIAL, rocks, bricks, etc. DOWN TO WEIGHT A TARGET FRAME DOWN, REMOVE IT WHEN YOU FINISH! We cannot dispose of all of the rocks, but we can start monitoring the cameras to see who is leaving these obstacles.

Having these shooting events helps us keep membership fees as low as they are. The work Waiver Fee helps when projects are taken on. Having a Work Day each month makes it easier for members to meet this obligation. Plus for those that cannot make it on any of these Saturdays, we can make arrangements to complete work requirement during the week.

I am still seeing paper and cardboard targets left hanging on the range frames.  When you finish shooting, REMOVE YOUR TARGETS and properly dispose of them. Leave the range in better condition than when you arrived. As a member, this is your range, keep it clean. REMOVE YOUR TARGETS AND TRASH.

The Bench House card reader continues to act up, we are still working to resolve the problem with the Bench House reader. We are having trouble receiving the replacement parts, supplier has them back ordered; hopefully we can have it back in operation soon. 

As always on match days the range is closed to all shooting activities for at least 2 hours prior to the start of the match, the exception is IDPA, which is 3 hours. The range is closed to all other activities until that Match Director gives the “All Clear”.
