Attention shooters: Empty Chamber Indicators and eye protection are required to shoot on Hilside Ranges. If you do not have both you will not shoot. They are available at the gunshop in the clubhouse.

The firing line has been regraded to the correct height and leveled end to end. Stone has been added at the South end, benches are repositioned on the new stone making it much easier to find your brass. The remaining rifle firing line has been graded and seeded.  The rifle range gets better each week, come out and shoot with us.

There is currently steel out to 1000yds with burms at 100, 200, 300, 400,  600 and 1000 yards. We expect to continue building burms  to fill in yardage to 1,000yds as we get more members. When shooting at the Rifle Range you should come into the Club House first and check in. Information on Marksmanship Classes will be available very soon, please check back for more details.
